A Glass thermometer is a very cheap and effective way of keeping an eye on your hydroponic nutrient temperatures. We recommend every hydroponics system has one of these!
Electronic temperature metering is an option that allows you to monitor two temps at the one time. You can have an outside temp, and and inside temp, both monitored.
Hygrometers measure both temperature and humidity and are a handy device for any growroom or greenhouse. The standard Hygrometer gives a max/min reading for both temperature and humidity and can be wall mounted. The Hygrometer with Probe , as the name suggests, has the added benefit of an external probe. This allows for greater flexibility when testing an area because only the probe needs to be in the testing area.A ThermoHygro will measure both temperature and humidity. A very handy device for any growroom or glasshouse. Available with or without a probe.
