Herpstat 2 or VE - 300 ?

[Luvyna]

Thanks for all the input!
One more question, I already have a HydroFarm Stat.
Have considered using that for one heat source and just getting a single probe Herpstat or VE 300x2. I would be saving around $80. Worth it? I'm leaning towards just biting the bullet and getting the double probe stat but would welcome any opinions. $80 towards stat or $80 towards cool morph ??
Thanks again!

Agreed with everyone recommending a two-probe thermostat. The thermostat is the one piece of equipment you should absolutely splurge on and buy the best one you can afford. The reliability of a thermostat can mean life or death in a matter of hours for your BP. Hydrofarm works as a temporary solution but it lacks the safety features that the Herpstat 2 and VE-300x2 provide.

I have 2, VE 300x2 controllers and love them. The "pulse" feature is really nice.

I switched to Herpstat in 2005...not one hiccup and I've never replaced a probe.

I'll second everything Luvyna said and toss in another recommendation for a two-probe thermostat.

For what it's worth, I went straight to Herpstat and now have both a 1 and a 2. Both units are easy to use and reliable. I'm very glad I splurged and put down the money for them. They both have dimming, pulse, and night drop functions, as well as some nice safety features. I'll probably be using Herpstats exclusively going forward and I'll recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
