If you need to run a warehouse and you do not want to be physically there everyday to check on the reservoir, then those are for you. If you live where you grow, there is no point in such a device. An good environmental controller will do you more good than automation like that. You can build...

I still like a few of their products, but I will agree most of them are grossly overpriced. I still use big-bud (powder) and overdrive as additives. I substitute budCandy with "Cutting Edge Solutions sugaree" and carboload with molasses.. I get all my humic, fulvic, bacteria, and mycrorhyzal...

My pet rabbit is one of the secrets to my success. I add his poop to my tea, along with molasses, a bacteria start (from FF's microbe brew and kangaroots), and some humic (ful-power for fulvics and leonardite for full spectrum). Brew it with constant aeration for > 24hrs (untill there is a good...

never count your chickens before the eggs hatch.

those buds look pretty sativa dominant (thin fan leafs and more conical buds). Sativas usually take a bit longer to finish... and I have had some super silver haze that would never turn amber (I once let one plant go for a little over 3 months).. It will still be awesome home grown smoke

reading that entire thread is painful, none of you understand the hacker perspective. 'Winter Woman', if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You have acted the fool in fearing this individual and through your fear you have extinguished a little bit of love in the universe...

sorry I haven't checked this thread in so long.. The project I am a part of is now hosted at http://www.github.com/pleasuretek/opengreenhouse , that is it's permanent home now, as I do not have to pay out of pocket to host it. Also the main conversations are going on in...

The user interface I have been working on is displayed on any computer via X forwarding. So the command to view the interface is like : 'ssh username@hostname -X greenhouse' --- username@hostname is obvious, -X forwards the X session for created a GUI on a remote machine when all the process...

I like the SSR you posted a datasheet for, however, the beaglebone is a 3.3v device (out of the GPIO (like digital pin)). So I look for relays that can be switched with a minimum input load of 3v (that one is 4v) so that I don't have to use a logic level shifter. Also I use the crydom ones (they...

Yeah the DHT-11 was working great on the arduino with that library. But that library is written for AVR micros, and taking that logic and implementing it as a linux kernel module is a little over my head. Also everything in linux is a file... so to read the temps from the DS18B20, you simply...

Thought I would post some pics of the build I had working on arduino platform. There were 3 'high' power relays (only 25A 120v - not running ballasts) to control A/C and dehumidifier and fans, and three low power (relays are in the junction box the outlets are mounted in). The power line went...

Awesome project. I worked on something similar : whttp://www.github.com/pleasuretek/opengreenhouse . and am currently working on the project with a beaglebone (embedded linux with database in the load center). I had a PC controlling my garden for quite some time, until the server one day just...

I see you have an interest to build a version using GTK for linux... That is awesome, I wish you had been nicer to me when I suggested you do something like this. If you start the code base, I would love to help, I am very profiecient in GTK with python and C++ as well as Qt (Pyside for python3...

Hey all, just an update to this thread... I finally have some extra money and caught up on bills... so my beaglebone is in the mail to start building it out on that platform. I found the arduino very restricting as its datalogging is restricted to csv files and the sql sync functions get to be a...

no idea where to get the seeds, the strain of ATF I had was actually a Matenuska ThunderFuck and the seed was sprouted back in the 90s, I had a clone only version of it. I only had it for two cycles because I felt the strain had lost its vigor after so many cuttings and 10 years since the seed...
