Description
The TrolMaster Hydro-X Thermostat Station is a key component in advanced environmental control systems, offering growers precise temperature management capabilities for indoor cultivation. Designed to seamlessly integrate into the Hydro-X system, this thermostat station empowers growers to create and maintain the ideal temperature conditions essential for the health and productivity of their crops.
Key Features:
Temperature Precision: The Thermostat Station is engineered for precise temperature control within the grow environment. It ensures that plants receive the optimal temperature conditions required for robust growth and development.
Integration with Hydro-X System: Seamlessly integrates into the TrolMaster Hydro-X environmental control system, allowing centralized monitoring and control. This integration enhances the overall efficiency of environmental management in indoor cultivation settings.
User-Defined Setpoints: Growers can set specific temperature setpoints based on the requirements of their crops. The Thermostat Station uses this information to maintain the desired temperature range, contributing to optimal growing conditions.
Heating and Cooling Control: The Thermostat Station facilitates both heating and cooling control mechanisms. Depending on the current temperature and the grower-defined setpoints, it activates the appropriate equipment to maintain the desired temperature range.
Automated Control Actions: Integrated with the Hydro-X system, the Thermostat Station can trigger automated control actions. For example, if the temperature exceeds the defined upper limit, the system can activate cooling devices to bring the temperature back within the desired range.
Dual-Functionality: This station often serves a dual function, capable of controlling both heating and cooling devices. This versatility is advantageous for maintaining a stable environment, especially in climates where temperature fluctuations are common.
Compatibility with Various Heating/Cooling Devices: The Thermostat Station is designed to be compatible with a range of heating and cooling devices commonly used in indoor cultivation, such as heaters, air conditioners, or ventilation systems.
Temperature Data Logging: The system may include temperature data logging capabilities, allowing growers to track temperature trends over time. Historical temperature data is valuable for analyzing patterns and making informed decisions.
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring: Provides real-time temperature monitoring, enabling growers to make immediate adjustments based on changing conditions. Real-time monitoring is crucial for maintaining consistency and reacting promptly to temperature fluctuations.
Graphical Data Representation: The Hydro-X system may offer graphical data representation features, allowing growers to visualize temperature trends over time. This graphical representation aids in the analysis of temperature patterns.
User-Friendly Interface: The Thermostat Station features a user-friendly interface, ensuring that growers can easily configure temperature settings and navigate the system. This simplicity is beneficial for users of varying experience levels.
Remote Monitoring (if applicable): Depending on system configuration, growers may have the option for remote monitoring. This feature allows users to access real-time temperature data and control functionalities from a distance, enhancing convenience and flexibility.
Energy Efficiency: The precise temperature control offered by the Thermostat Station contributes to energy efficiency. By activating heating or cooling devices only when necessary, growers can optimize energy usage in the cultivation environment.
Safety Features: The system may include safety features, such as temperature limits, to prevent extreme temperature conditions that could be detrimental to plants. Safety protocols can be programmed to respond swiftly to any potential hazards.
Usage Instructions:
System Integration: Integrate the Thermostat Station into the existing TrolMaster Hydro-X control system. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper wiring and connectivity to ensure seamless integration.
Device Compatibility: Ensure that the Thermostat Station is compatible with the heating and cooling devices used in the cultivation setup. Connect these devices according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature Setpoints: Access the user interface of the Hydro-X system to configure temperature setpoints.
The TS-1 thermostat stations is designed to replace a thermostat connected to a convetional cool oly HVAC unit. The TS-1 is wired to the HVAC system using the same low-voltage thermostat cable, and has the standard color-coded wiring as most thermostats. The Hydro-x allows separate Day and Night settings for each of up to (4) TS modules so multiple HVAC systems can be controlled by a single Hydro-X system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.
What types of plants grow best hydroponically?
Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.
Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?
Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.
What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?
Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.
What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?
pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.
How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?
The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
