    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    As for the doser, it's been a labor of love. A few minor glitches in my code. Was my error, not the machines, resulted in a flooded basement on a occasion or two. Nonetheless, it has been debugged for over a month now, no issues. Doses my tweaked feed regimen twice a week (Mon & Fri), with a...

    Yet Another BHO Blasting/Purging Post

    The only way I've experimented and came out with a product similar to sugar wax was to heat it to a higher temp and whip it either after or while its water bathing. Somewhere around 95°F while vacuuming igot a product similar to sugar wax. It was halfway crumbly and halfway sugar wax.

    Yet Another BHO Blasting/Purging Post

    I still open blast and vac chamber it. Haven't got the extra cheddar to invest into a loop. Especially after investing in my nute doser. But I only really make the BHO for me and my gf so to invest in a loop, jus doesn't make sense for us at this point.

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    The system looks way more advanced than what I've managed to cobble up. I like the layout of the home assistant, makes setting everything super simple. But yes, the plants dont look too good. I wonder why. If the system is always running and dosing multiple times a day, maybe that'd do it? Idk...

    That whole setup is badass. One day I'll get mine to something like that. One day. Lol

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    I've only got 1 sensor, for ph. And an ec probe isn't necessarily required, if you use a good nute lineup. But it def helps. For sensors tho, yea there pretty costly. But theyre meters that you shouldn't have to replace for at least 4, 5 years.

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    The bottles are technically unsealed. However, they are not. I hotglued the tubing through the cap, creating a seal. As for oxidation and waste, I've got 3 seperate rooms running. I'm not holding onto nutes for long enough for them to sour. I'm literally burning through gallons in weeks. I dont...

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    I've been told I should've used a pi, as it offers a lil bit more versatility and functionality. But the duino works for me. And I had zero knowledge of the arduino or raspberry pis existence prior to this build. Not to mention what they could do.

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    Here's the parts list: 1) arduino mega 1) dfrobot 16x2 lcd shield 1) atlas scientific ph probe KIT (Optional tentacle shield for expanding more sensors. if not, the ph kit has a isolated circuit that comes with it) 1) real time clock (I used the ds3231) 1) li ion battery for the rtc...

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    The system is controlled via an arduino mega. The mixing tank is only used when the day is called to feed. Other than pumping and keeping a few gallons of plain water in it after all the nutrient mix pumps out, it sits idle waiting for the set day to start a feed cycle. I have a constant flow...

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    I can put one together, but no, not trying to keep it under wraps. It's a DIY project, it's not a business. I jus figured if people were interested and didn't want to spend the 2000 to 5000 dollars on a commercial unit, this is a cheap alternative. Most parts came from amazon for under 1000...

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    Mine is very messy as far as wiring goes. But it works for me. If I get any interest in this, obviously I would do better with hiding wiring and whatnot. But it's a DIY project. Not commercial grade. So take it as you will.

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    Here it is. Not powered up or programmed in the pictures. Just shows the size and design. It's designed just like Mr. Olsen's DRO-matic from which I got the inspiration. Size is 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 22 1/2" but it can be built to just about any size/shapes.

    Automating a Grow Room / Rooms

    An auto doser bought commercially ready, will cost about $2,400. I can build one very similar for half that cost, giving you more time to spend on other garden chores or anything else your heart desires. Very reliable, and very accurate. PM for details.

    These are the screens for the NON-feed days. They cycle through, every 10 seconds.

About a year and half ago I moved to a new house. With that, came alot of change to my grow op. Some good, some bad. But I'm...

    Redesigning C.O.B. Light

    133.4 grams - Big bud XXL (1 PLANT) 122.6 grams - Blues Bros CBD (3 PLANTS) So of my side of the room, I've managed to pull a respectable 691.6 grams. Still have my gf's side to weigh up but we ought to hit our goal of 3 lbs. Jus a shit ton of strains. Which kinda sucks. Live n learn.
