That's very cool and gives me thoughts on alternatives. I've researched automation for the past month (purgro, growtronix, intellidose amongst them) and still wasn't satisfied with the cost justification (add ons etc....) needed to do a near fully automated system. Am still on the fence but have a clearer vision of the finer detail points now. Thanks.

sure, you're right, but after one has gained enough experience, it's routine basics. :)

I think you still have control over res management, but with a doser, you have total control. Its definitely not a 'set it and forget it' type of thing, but I can guarantee that what I want to go in to the system, is in fact, getting delivered. One man show, so it definitely 'frees' up time to do the things you cannot automate.

actually, that's an efficient process, in terms of task delegation according to priority (and overal risks), wouldn't change a thing there.

Intellidose an pH Mini Doser

The Intellidose is a quality product, easy to setup and calibrate, the user defines all of the paramaters. Great for the UC as stability is key for optimum plant health and less frequent nutrient change outs.

pH Mini doser is equally easy to operate, but can only dose in one direction.

I am ditching both in favor of the GrowBot, no offense AmHydro...

Grobot is bad ass, still want one.

The 'pinpoint' doser unit is great for up/down management if you only want pH management.

Teaser pix of your 'mythical' grow? Glad to see you still around.

Super clean layout.
