I hear ya! I love gardening and all that entails, but I needed an automated medicine machine haha.I’m an old man, this spaceship looking shit is why I grow outside. What you got is a great looking well thought out set up. Great job . Gimme dirt, bugs and birds.
Thanks!would be lying if i didn't same i'm a bit envious. i too have a fuckall back that makes hauling water an unwelcome chore, while fucking around weighing salts is for the birds. out of curiosity, and by no means must you answer, but how much did that controller and the dosers set you back? need to get something i can use to control my fertigation cycles in a more granular way -- my 1min 16 setting timer just ain't cuttin it for where we're going haha.
lookin damn good, stoked to see more automation cropping up in these parts!
that's not terrible. i'm thinking long term too (overbuild it once or build it again, and again, ad infinitum). some day with land and above the brow crops, having all the right tools would be excellent. hell, my home network is built for a medium sized enterprise lol why shouldn't my tent grow setup be built like a commercial operation?Thanks!
If all you need is auto dosers for pH and EC, the four pump option is like $1600. The GCX (computer) is built for wayyyy more than a tent, more like a greenhouse or large room.. can handle several separate rooms actually.. so you can definitely find something cheaper for a tent or small room. I’m more or less planning for long term.
I think I spent $2500 on the GCX. Definitely cheaper / simpler options out there.
Thank god my wife didn’t ask how much I spent.
My thoughts exacty! I hate wasting money lol.that's not terrible. i'm thinking long term too (overbuild it once or build it again, and again, ad infinitum). some day with land and above the brow crops, having all the right tools would be excellent. hell, my home network is built for a medium sized enterprise lol why shouldn't my tent grow setup be built like a commercial operation?
is it a waste if it always does what it's supposed to with minimal involvement from you? or because it's excessive to other's standards?My thoughts exacty! I hate wasting money lol.
Yea I more mean I hate wasting money on things I end up replacing. This wasn’t wasted in my mind, but I am just getting started with it so time will tell I suppose.is it a waste if it always does what it's supposed to with minimal involvement from you? or because it's excessive to other's standards?let's not get the ladies involved, we all know exactly where that conversation will land us haha
i hear ya. my late father taught me if you try to be cheap, you'll spend more money than if you bought quality from the start (specifically regarding tools, but applies to life in general).Yea I more mean I hate wasting money on things I end up replacing. This wasn’t wasted in my mind, but I am just getting started with it so time will tell I suppose.
