I do my outdoor growing with the guy that owns like too much land next to me. He’s late 70s now but has been guerrilla growing on this land forever. He loves the quality I grow with the other sides of Knowledge he has. We’ve been trimming now and he wants to know the humidity in these jars I showed him the little black meters I have and he wants to know if there’s any top notch, best of the best ones, regardless of price. When it comes to tools, grow equipment, cuts, hell pay whatever if it’s worth the money. He told me to ask on the website I was telling him about (here) lol. I trust those little cheap black square ones but he just wants to know if there’s one that is like very high quality and will still fit in the jars to close.

I highly recommend SensorPush devices.
I have several of them. I stick them in my Grove Bags to watch (and document) my cures.

LOL, more and more you are reminding me of the TV Mr. Wizard… Techie version!
I gotta look at those sensor-push. I have the classic small black ones everybody else has. Thought about using the govee’s, but they take up a lot of room (still would fit in a 32 / 64 oz widemouth)

You can show him grove bags. Those are suppose to keep rh constant without the need of humidity sensors. Do a search on the site and you’ll find a few threads talking about them.

The thing I like about the Grovees is that they would tie in my Home Automation. Their price point just scares me, I question how accurate they can be. I went with the SensorPush for the trust factor. They had the most accurate device I could find for under $100.
SensorPush will work with https://ifttt.com/ so I can use that to integrate to HomeSeer.

I did the whole “wet salt in a bag” calibration / check thing with mine (both govees and the couple dozen cheapo ones). Govees were all in line relatively, had to toss 2 of the cheapo ones for being WAY out of line. I don’t remember the govee’s being $12 ea (thought I paid like $7 or $8), but amazon shows em at $12.99 ea. If you have more than a jar or two, that gets cost prohibitive (especially 2 or 3 dozen jars? nope, no thanks!)
How much did each of the sensorpush sensors cost you? I’d love to put the jars info on my dashboard.

Those grove bags look very interesting, I think he’ll still want to see the numbers but I wanna check those out myself for my indoor stuff even.

I really like the idea of tossing my bud in a bag without having to worry or burp dozens of jars.

They have 3 different models, starting at $50, with the most accurate one at about $80.
Not feasible for more than a few datapoints due to cost.
I might get some grovees and just use the SensorPush to validate them from time to time.

I will vouch for the Grove Bags.

Yea When I first started growing it was fun burping the jars now there’s too many and it’s a pain in the ass, even with the 1 gallon jars for the outdoor it’s too many. I wanna give these bags a shot and show him how it works for my indoor stuff to maybe convince him for next season. That’s how I convince him a specific cut is worth one of the spaces outside, I run it over winter inside and give him a sample.

I’m definitely gonna give em a try, having a nice meter to know the numbers will be nice either way.

LOL… New product? Grove bags… with an included Govee inside to monitor with?
$12 ea for a govee that connects thru BT doesn’t sound so bad, get one good sensorpush to base-line, and use cheaper govees to mass monitor.
The govees are also adjustable, so if they need to be tweaked to match the sensorpush sensor, they can be.

5g buckets. And an auto-burp system.
Nagel420’s Auto-Burp System - Overgrow.com
That can be scaled up and down as needed. A single mason jar, or 50 x 5g buckets. Size the air pump accordingly. I was inspired by a muti-bucket commercial system I saw, and came up with the mason jar size version.

The Grove bags also come in 1lb and 5lb sizes.
Stick 5lb in a bag with a sensor and let it rock.

Caliber IV is a popular one. Inkbird ITH-10 a bit cheaper.
