Spot on, I very nearly hermied a grow when I dropped the timer while messing around near my tent, I didn't realise I had interrupted the night cycle segments that you push in, the light was coming on for around 2 hrs for going on a weekI left my tent unattended for 6 weeks with a home built auto irrigation system. No issues thankfully!
Yes I was reading something earlier on a forum, somebody was complaining of there extractor fan being noisy, they were pointed towards the infinity range, silent apparently. To be honest alot of your devices have some type of control, whether it be a thermostat etc, an inkbird gives you some useful cotrol and if the wattage is an issue just switch it through a relay from mains voltage.If you haven't heard of them check out AC Infinity controls. They're already heading down that path of automation in a really thoughtful way.
Even though they say they are more an HVAC company I wish they would split off their HVAC division and setup a cannabis division developing specific products for cannabis automation only. They do a great job as it is but I'd like to see them dedicate specifically to weed!
True although having a main controller that allows you to monitor and control all your peripheral devices is a powerful thing!!!!Yes I was reading something earlier on a forum, somebody was complaining of there extractor fan being noisy, they were pointed towards the infinity range, silent apparently.

The more countries that wake up and realise the benefits of weed the more companies that will invest in technology, without it I would not have got through the last few years, meds and councilling didn't even touch what I and my family were going through.If you haven't heard of them check out AC Infinity controls.

Exactly, atm it all aims towards temp and humity, can you imagine a ready available controller that is plug and play something that just needs the parameters entering in... To be able to control your whole environment, something that you can interact with while away from home, something that can alert you etc etc.. There's lots of separate devices but an all in one that covers all needs.... Sorry I'm a little drunk too.... Joys of living in Eastern Europe lolTrue although having a main controller that allows you to monitor and control all your peripheral devices is a powerful thing!!!!
My favorite controller so far is my pH controller lol. That one actually saves me a lot of time and stres
You can have perfect light, c02 etc but if you've got nute lockout due to ph balance then your gonna run into problems, so yes a life saver
Don't need to imagine. These guys are doing it.Exactly, atm it all aims towards temp and humity, can you imagine a ready available controller that is plug and play something that just needs the parameters entering in...

Yeah, it's been done before. They already have open source growing software made just for this on GitHub. I read about it before. Still cool though. I don't think it's that popular because it's a lot of work for stuff that already exists. Now for a commercial grow, yeah a brain box would be a game changer.Don't need to imagine. These guys are doing it.
They're running it off a Raspberry Pi module using Linux as the OS.
I believe indoor farming is going to be an important industry in the future. A lot of the R&D for that has been done by cannabis growers.Don't need to imagine. These guys are doing it.

More than most people are really realizing. Being able to drop 10 vertical farm containers in the middle of a food desert will be game changing.I believe indoor farming is going to be an important industry in the future. A lot of the R&D for that has been done by cannabis growers.
Oh I love those things. Re-using old shipping containers and utilizing a grow space that was otherwise inhospitable to plants.More than most people are really realizing. Being able to drop 10 vertical farm containers in the middle of a food desert will be game changing.
I'm not sure I agree. It's difficult to justify the investment for most food crops. Putting millions into a facility to produce lettuce is not only economically impractical, but you also have to consider the massive environmental footprint that goes into constructing and operating such a facility. Most food crops do not carry anywhere near the value cannabis does. You're also competing with hundreds of years of development and improvisations that come with traditional agriculture. Even the Dutch are scaling back on their agricultural exports citing environmental impact and costs increase associated with production. My bet is we see a resurgence in small scale regenerative ag before we see a transition to indoor food production for most crops.More than most people are really realizing.

When you factor in land availability and erosion, travel time and expense, etc. it makes WAY more sense.I'm not sure I agree. It's difficult to justify the investment for most food crops.

Your plants wake up droopy? Is that normal?OK I'm back, lights have just come on so excuse the droopy leaves lol,
I've noticed them start to droop an hour before lights go out and start to pick up just before lights come on, but are fully awake within minutes of light being on. Pic taken 10 minutes after light onYour plants wake up droopy? Is that normal?
