    DIY Grow Control: Fans, Lights, Hydro Pumps, Temp and Humidity

    It's not dead, just inactive. I have two arduino controllers and a host of sensors I'm experimenting with. My focus at the moment is determining water/nutrient levels digitally. No luck with sonic transducers or infrared units. The short distances and a tight enclosure (5 gal. bucket) have...

    Dripping systems

    How many plants do you want to run? The site you indicated has the components to do a small drip system. If you are new to this stuff, start with only one or two plants. The learning experience can be painful so you want to minimize your loses. If successful, you can expand easily.

    Free Grow Software!

    I've been attempting to run Herb.IQ on Linux with no success yet. Using Ubuntu 12.04. Unity doesn't know what to do with Wine. Switched to Gnome and Windows behaves much better. Installed Herb.IQ and the update with no problems. But it won't run. Tried to load .NET 3.5 but had "verification"...

    What to do? Mother or clones?

    Thanks Straightjacket and Jogro. I do want to test out my new system, so I put the clones to flower just as soon as they are big enough. I need to slow down the growth on my mother though, she's growing beautifully....

    DWC & Mothers

    I can't find any information on keeping a mother in a DWC unit. Do you keep the container small to make it root-bound? Do you keep the nutrients very low to slow growth? What do you do?

    DIY Aeroponics Arduino Timing

    Change the trickle charger to a solar charger and you have a stand alone control system. Also the arduino is great for sensors like humidity and temperature. And since you can read humidity and temperature why not go ahead and control exhaust fans, humidifiers, de-humidifiers, lights, etc.

    10 bulb CFL array

    Thanks guys. I love DIY and inventing. I would rather build it than buy it (even when it's cheaper...) The pigtail sockets fitting perfectly in the 1-1/4" pvc tees is the key !!!! Make your frame any way you want it, from 4 lights on up and aligned the way you need. Good luck.
