How do I hang my Grow Sensor in my environment?

Proper placement of your GrowSensor is key to getting accurate and reliable readings. Follow these steps for the best setup:

Positioning the sensor

  • Hang it at canopy level - Align the sensor's top with the tops of your plants for the most relevant environmental data.

  • Adjust as your plants grow - Move the sensor up as your plants develop to maintain accuracy.

Avoiding interference

  • Keep it away from direct airflow - Position it away from fans, vents, or extreme conditions that can distort temperature and humidity readings.

  • Centre it in your grow space - If possible, hang the sensor directly below your lights rather than off to the side.

Mounting with the hanging cable

The Grow Sensor includes a simple and effective cable system for easy height adjustments:

1

Secure the zip tie around the top of your frame or grow tent pole.

2

Thread the hanging cable through the zip tie and tighten it.

3

Keep the cable accessible so you can adjust it as needed.

4

Pull the cable end to raise the sensor as your plants grow - it will move with them.

5

At the end of your grow, lower and reposition the sensor at canopy height for your next cycle.

Using a tripod mount (Alternative option)

The Grow Sensor also features a standard threaded tripod mount on the bottom of the unit. This is perfect for setups where hanging the sensor from a cable isn’t possible. Any standard tripod will work.
