They are wired remote temps. I would have to drill a hole next to the other one.
The second temp probe is more of my humidity probe, temp is secondary on it.

Opened up the chamber today. In certain light it can seem to have a greenish tinge. But in full sunlight it doesn't
They were dry as ancient parchment so I sprayed them with water to soften them to remove.

Im running a full load through now. Then I will kiln them. I left 4 plants hanging in the garden shed. I have maybe 2 or 3 usable plants still in the garden. Frost warning for Tuesday so I'll have to cover them. Damn that came up fast.

I removed the main stem after curing. Ill kiln them that way. But they run 24hrs at 165 degrees. The stems were really brittle. Hygrometer said 65% but I suspect bad reading. There was no way it was that high. I ordered what I hope is a better one

It did, wow. I'm maybe 400 miles north of you and I got no frost forecast for at least a couple weeks.
I push my luck. I have been burned before though. Tobacco doesn't freeze until around 29°F, so if it's forecast something like 34° with a frost warning, I ignore it.

But follow my example at your own risk. But the way I figure is, unless if you're planning on moving south or to lower elevation, you will benefit from going through the psychological experience of pushing that frost limit.
Also, if it's above 32°, and it's snowing, pfft.

Lol. Frost warning at 28 degrees.
I have the opposite experience. If the forecast is for 35°F low, I often measure 28°F outside the house. When and at what temp tobacco will be damaged by cold depends on the lay of the land (microclimate) as well as the presence or absence of breeze.

I added another fan to the chamber to see if it helps with the temp difference
Robncars

Temp difference is even larger with another fan. Maybe I'll slow the bigger fan down idk.
