Grow Room KsjA`s perpetual micro hydro

awesome micro grows

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

Looking very good, and have to say the arduino's are definitely handy once you get them pretty dialed in, i use mine for light timers, soil sensors, pwm fan control and water valves, and am glad i went down that route, has made it alot more hands free

it's hard to expect less sir, healty and ready*

diy side of the moon

Hi ddb
Ahh Im not that optimists. been awhile since i had the pleasure of growing a cjh from delicious seeds
Thanx man

Hey @KsjAuto just had a read through this thread. Really impressive results from a small space and such low wattage. Your plants are always looking really healthy too mate. Not easily done in hydro with a small res!
Great to see some good quality diy too- would love to make my own led someday, wouldn’t know where to start.
Max rep for an awesome thread im subbed from here on my friend

Hi sanguine. And thanx for the kind words and the rep.
I had the pleasure of watching the wilma.(subdin) i always like top feed system, so easy to maintain.specially if possible to move res out side grow room.
A little tip for you Remove the big rockwool slap and the dripper. and replace the dripper/S with a drip ring/S.
more space for roots. and faster root development growing down the grow bucket. also easier to play around with on off water cycle.
it really do not matter witch system is the best, but getting the best out of the system is the key.
Regarding diy led.Tjeck this out
https://www.autoflower.org/threads/diy-cob-based-led-growlight-build-in-progress.51367/ from pop22 lot of tech stuff but the proof is in the pudding

awesome micro grows

Thanx bro il do my best

HI Mr sparkle thanx for stopping by.
I think Il drop you a line in your mail box regarding soil sensors

CJH Day 37

She´s doing fine. I switched to bloom nutes today. did some l.s.t. slight cropping, defoliation (alot). She´s gonna be moved to my hps tent soon. so time to germinate a new seed. .
Stay green


Day ? l.s.t.


Day 37

Arduino update

Prototype is done and almost everything is installed.
atm it can handle ( not all installed yet )
ph up ore down (don´t need both at the same time)
set ph or just drift as needed /set to 5.8 drift to 6.2 and ph down to 5.8. e,t,c,
watertemp (Res)
RH%
Temp.

If needed rh% and temp can trigger fan/humidifier/ e.t.c ..

When done it will be shipped of to a safe place to be tested.
when this will be tested. i have time to work on ec/ppm and automatic dosing of nutes.
Dumping the res. refill ad nutes. repeat.
This will be the last peace of the puzzle.
Thats it for now.

The small box in the backgroud. A simple version of my first prototype for watering A plant in soil. no lcd display no menu. just one pushbutton..

finishing later to day. This is not arduino but attiny85 microchip.When installed and plant needs water. a single pres on the red button, it start to messure moisture content in the soil. when done it start watering. when the plant have enough water. push button again.. moisture content "treshold" and watering "time" is saved.
thats it. leave it and it will take care of your plant.
12v dc input.
12v dc out put. Can handle any 12v dc 6w device for the watering.. airpump/waterpump/solenoid valve e.t.c.
will be installed in a safe place for testing. (Microgrow)
pics when installed will follow soon..

Been a while. A little recap. Cjh was harvested didnˋt weigh it, The mango also harvested. really nice smoke (free seeds from alibongo).
Atm im growing a afghan kush ryder (wos). and a week from now i should have a new journey with Sweet seeds auto mix.
Arduino project: im getting some help from a couple of fellow growers and everything is going perfect. we got 2 ph controllers hooked up to 2 computers (rpi). both have a vnc client so everything can be monitored and reprogrammed over the interweb. so this winterproject is adding a realtime clock module a sdcard for data logging and remove the watertemp.
ohh and if posssible ad a second ph probe + dosing pump (running 2 ph probes on 1 ph module.

gonna clean up my grow space so i can ad a bigger res. and get this little one in a bucket
Sweet seeds auto mix

Be back soon


Stay green
