Things That Didn't Go Right
I have also, in the span of like a week and a half, managed to freak out and buy stuff that I either didn't need or turned out to be completely worthless. The first piece of problem gear I bought was the HydroFarm Thermostat for Heat Mats. Almost immediately I felt like it wasn't powering when the LED was on. I had read this in a review, but I often operate under the assumption that one or two bad reviews are common and the mean should count the most. Well, one week into using the Thermostat and it's official, the unit keeps great temperature, however after one to three days it quits powering the connected device. I have emailed the manufacture and am still waiting on a response after about three days. I imagine there are better units our there, but for the price it was great. In the end not worth it. I am posting a link to my grow data in the links section. I will update the spreadsheet every few days so data is available. My goal for hydro garage farming is to be able to produce steady spinach, lettuce, and herbs. Fruit such as strawberries, and hopefully tomatoes would be great at some point but I don't have the money to drop into the LED lights.
