The idea is to get everyone, regardless of skill level, to become self-sufficient and grow their own food. Currently at the $1000-2000 price point.

Greenhouses use $100,000 Priva software to manage operations. Grodan is releasing a $3000 version. Turnkey systems for indoor hobby growers would have to be much lower. I think it's a worthy challenge to design an Open Source Cannabis Computer to handle light, air/CO2, and fertigation. Any newbie could build the system, buy clones from a compassion club, and download the light and feed schedules - and voila, better than average results. Any thoughts?

There is a lot you can auto pilot but it still takes a humans touch and visual inspection to find pests and problems.
