I spent many a night pondering that exact thought as well. Ultimately, I decided ONE "giant" controller, (no bigger than a shoebox and no heavier than a bag of groceries), would be best for my budget and ultimately my grow setup design. I very well could've individualized each component and...

Pros: they all dose your shit for you Cons: your electric bill is going to go up 3.75 a year. Lol. Seriously, I don't have the slightest as I've never used any of them personally. There's not much out there as far as 100% automated grow controllers. Meaning one unit to control all aspects of...

Yea, there's a few... Intellidose Agrowtek makes a few different models Hanna makes a couple fertigation machines Dosatron But if you have a large scale/industrial outfit, why wouldn't you go with a intellidose?

I was asked to do another build but with a pi. I'd try it, but not outta my pocket. Haha.

It's good info to share. Stuff if I had seen prior to starting this build, couldve influenced how my unit was constructed. Good info to share nonetheless.

There's lots of examples out there that could do, individually, what mine does as a whole. Juuuuuus saying.

Yea I could've used home assistant. Prolly still could figure it out. But yea I wrote the code, but I wouldn't really call it that. Most of the logic I jus copied from online and I just configured everything to run in the right order, concurrently.

My system doesn't JUST utilize atlas products. It uses other sensors as well. You could use the atlas as a base project and branch off that?

Yea Ive scrolled through that info once or twice. My system utilizes atlas products. But that iot software only lets one control water quality and display. My system does complete environmental control and nutrient dosing in one. Yea the screen is small to say the least, but I can upgrade it to...

Design flaw #1, placement of the arduino stack too close to the outlet, (couldn't plug the damn thing in), resulted in 2 less power outlets, and a designated port for programming as well as designated 9v power supply to the baro on the arduino. And a giant hope I gotta patch from where the...

Here's the 2.0 version. Wireless sensors and full control of 3 separate grow environments. Only got 2 pumps attached in the photo, but all are operational. I will be putting this unit into operation today (hopefully) so I will update with more pics then. It has a total of 12 separate 110v...

So that there is no confusion for future readers; Yes I can build a unit to only dose nutrients at half the cost of a commercial doser unit. BUT. For the SAME price of a commercial doser, I can build a unit that can control an entire grow room. Commercial units rarely come with enough pumps...

Michigan Myco is another good one. Brandon is really easy to talk to and very helpful.

Dry ice sublimates, meaning it goes from solid right to gas. Pending how much u stuff inside the thermos, could cause pressure to build inside. Resulting in possible pressure bomb. I don't know the numbers but I'm sure it would take a decent amount to create a strong enough pressure to go boom...

Does this work?

I fucking love the machine. As for it cutting my product in a timely sense and not doing a terrible job. That being said, a larfy leafy airy strain isn't gna run that well through something like this. The buds require mass in order to properly tumble. So it won't make gold from shit is my point...

Bud on the left is dry trimmed indoor grown On the right is wet trimmed indoor grown Two dif strains but both ran through the trimmer for roughly around 60-120 seconds. Along with about 35-50 more buds in there with it all trimming up together. I'll dry and snag a couple close-ups of the...

Almost harvest time for the tent. Stuffs gna be coming down starting today. I picked up a trimmer to help speed up harvests going forward as well. Bit the bullet and spent the money on a Centurion Tabletop. It does a fairly decent job, not as good as hand trim but for my purposes, it does jus...

Be forewarned, I spent many a nights trying to debug that sketch. Plus alot of the libraries are outdated. Someone like me with no formal training in coding languages, has absolutely no idea where to begin to fix it. I found it easier to just start from scratch that way I could learn as I built...

Yea just a quick Google search for diy nutrient doser, he has it on github too. https://github.com/drolsen/DRO-Matic https://www.rollitup.org/t/automatic-hydroponic-doser-diy.935252/
