Yes you did state you used Johnson, and also told your side as you basically dont trust them by saying they do the job for NOW but not the safest. No matter what thermsotat you buy they ALL have failed on someone somewhere. Considering the Hydrofarm is manufactured towards garden DIY's growing plants, i wouldnt trust that for anything.I use a Herpstat, a Johnsons, and just started using a Hydrofarm for my RTB. They are all okay, I am definitely more confident in the Herpstat, but the Johnsons and Hydrofarm do the job for now. Probably not the safest, but for the money they are okay. I've also heard Ranco is alright, comparable to Johnsons, and the new RBI VE-100 is getting rave reviews.
Johnsons and Rancos do the job just as good as herpstat or helix. Only thing is one makes a on off sound other does not. Which does not make or break one better than the other.
