Would you recommend me the t3 ac infinity? Its much cheaper but doesnt have the warm mist. How precise is the sensor probe on these things?

I ain't tree, but I do have the AC T3, works great, doesn't matter how accurate it is, because you still need to dial it in to your environment.

The sensor probe is pretty good but it's not perfect.  Especially at very high humidity.

And the issue with the t3 is it's prone to leaks.

I have the big one too and it's nice.

But yeah not the t3.

You may be able to find like an open box one on eBay.  I didn't pay full price for either one of mine and neither were used.

You may also be able to find someone trying to get rid of one on Facebook marketplace or something similar.

That said, you'll also probably want to invest in a controller if you go that route.

There's a reason I haven't made a write-up for my build, it's expensive, I partially built it to get accurate CO2 readings for data, and frankly credit card debt paid for most of it.  The luxury of not being married and my partner having money and good credit, and me not caring about mine.

The UV light helps to keep biofilm down.

The sensor probe is their stock probe, so with a controller you can run heating pads off of it.  Otherwise it just monitors temperature.

The warm mist helps to keep the temperature from dropping when the fogger runs.  The temperature is adjustable but it's ten settings rather then specific temperatures, and takes a bit to warm up.  Setting ten can hit 120f.

I mostly run it in the winter and early spring.  I still have to run seed mats.

But my lab can dip into the low 60s at night when the weather is cold.

I'm always tweaking it.  And I'm running my fogger from one large tub into two other large tubs.  It's going to take a lot less time for a single tub.

Just run it enough to get the casing glistening.  If it's dry run it more. If wet run it less.

But I do like to run it on high (setting 10).  And I use 10 minute intervals.  Right now my casings are looking very dry, so it's going to run all night at 10 on and 20 off.

In the morning I will switch back to 10 on and 3 hours off.  So, these caps can mature well.







In other words fam, I think of it more like an auto mister.  Instead of using a spray bottle, I play with my phone (Bluetooth controller app).

Those are some beautiful fruits their fungus fam.  I'm dying over here to get the 3-disc going, a couple of weeks or so, but in the meantime, these tubs will keep my interest.  I just knocked up 2 Pink Oyster, 2 pink BH, a Branched Oyster, and 2 G2G Pan jars of the fastest fruiting culture (Only a T1). I'll get a clone when I'm ready and fully up and running.  Alrightie Tub growers, giving up the goods!

Well, it was time to pick a few, the slower tub I was worried about finally cracked a pin, I think I may have hydrated the sub a little too quick and she was upset a bit, no worries, I just let the surface dry up thoroughly and misted her up well, but no drench.











And I'll leave the rest to mature more... the Aftermath



And the 2nd tub that is behind the first tub, but not by much, only a few to harvest, I dig the flat caps and teeth!










A few tray shots, it's going to be a harvest week.  Poor me, the Man with a plan to grow PANS!











I pushed the tubs as far as possible air wise, and then dialed it down just a tad.  They matured well and didn't continuing cracking, damn 25 - 35% humidity, but it can be done!

I hope yawl enjoy this hobby as much as I do, sharing is caring and keep the pics coming folks, I'm diggin' all these exotics, great work everyone!

It runs the mister for 4 hours about three times a day (12 hours total).  It's a single ultrasonic and brings the casing moisture up slowly that way.
