Wondering if anyone here knows of some (preferablly cheaper) doser units that I dont know about, which are the intellidose and the grobot.
intellidose -$1500 + $1200 for the rez/pump set
grobot- $3000
These things arent cheap, I got a decent budget for grow room redesign for my new house, and I want to ditch coir and go back to hydro to save some manual labor, but getting the nutrients/ph correct was such a time consuming PITA before (which lead and still leads to human error and messing up entire grows) so id like to automate the process.
I usually run a seperate veg and flower room, so I would either need 2 grobots (ouch) even tho supposedly they are coming out with a new doser unit for veg room needs like mine, buts its still $1500 which means its still $4500 for that setup, two intellidose setups would run a similar cost.
I dont really need full climate automation like this since lights and fans go on timers easily enough, and almost every new AC/heater/de or humidifiers have digital thermostats on them and a lot of co2 controllers do as well so most of the climate can be controlled on its own without a fancy controller, I just need to figure out how to make the nutes automated, or I can just quit being lazy and say screw it and stick with coir, 50 gallon rez with a garden hose attached to a sump pump in it lol, but some days I cant check on the rooms at all and sometimes when I can I only got 10-20 minutes to do so, so a "set it and forget it" setup would be ideal, I want to set this room up correctly from the get-go this time, auto fill/drain/flush/nutes/ph etc.
any feedback or experiences appreciated.
