Oh, wow. I'll have to buy something else. Let me check into this and make sure it's compatible, yada, yada.
It’ll be nice to get some sort of concrete measurement of light strength so you aren’t just eyeballing it completely. For now if you’re worried about the temps dropping from dimming your light just raise it up high in the tent and see how they respond. If you have the seeds and soil to spare start some new seedlings, if they don’t have enough light they’ll get leggy and super long but if they have too much you’ll probably have similar results as you’ve had so far.

Now it's 68.x°F in the tent with the light turned down.
In that case keep the light intensity turned up but move it physically up, farther from the plants. 18" is too close imo

Just as an example, my light is a 300 watt COB and is not dimmable, so I keep it high up rather than turning down the intensity. I probably have it like 30-36" from vegging plants and do not get much stretching...

I'll turn the light back to 50% and raise it up a foot, leave the light on 24/7 until I receive the controllers, Friday.

Friday I'll buy a heater, setup the controllers, switch light schedule to 12/6 and wait for the light meter to come the next day.

@Nope_49595933949 I ordered the recommended light meter moments ago and it'll be here Saturday.

Thanks everyone.

The only thing that sucks about the inkbirds is the inability to run the 608t to operate both dehumidify and temp control at the same time.
I switch the plug every evening from temp to dehumidify. Their has to be a better way, and i am not adding a second exhaust fan n filter

I went with the "Inkbird Combination Humidity Controller IHC200 AND Temperature Controller ITC308" combo pack.

One temp sensor
One humidity sensor

You will still be blessed with my problem.. Moving the plug frequently.
There is probably a way to make it do both things simultaneously, but it escapes me
I was thinking about that.... splitting the wires in the fan cord. LOL BZzzzt.

I was admiring the plants and noticed most are very dry. 3 have no reading on the moisture meter. 3 register between 1.8 and 2.3.

Should I Soak them all again like last time?

Yessssss
For your next run do a clear solo inside of a colored one. It will make your life much easier, you can visually see the water content of the edges and get a better idea of what's going on in the soil.

Good news. The equipment order arrived today, early.

I'll get the heater later tonight.

Where specifically should the probe/sensor be located? The temp. probe box indicates the probe cord length is 5'.

TIA.
