Deltatango301 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 The one good thing of them opening early is getting rid of condensation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too and they are excellent. You can also get orchid tubes and set the opening temperature as high as 30C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberousdrosera Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Depending on the make you should be able to lose then the screw controller part so that the winow will not open unless the temps get really warm, on mine you push the window open and losen the controller.

CactusChris Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Do not attach them directly, use wire to attach them ti the fram and the window vent, this gives you more room to manoever. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
