  1. http://www.arduino.cc/

    The Arduino is a protyping board.

    You can program it to do a lot of shit.

    It is possible to make a fully automated marijuana cultivation system using this thing.

    Program it to adjust light, check moisture, etc..it can do just about anything you need.
     
  2. my system is fully automated and only uses one timer that i got from walmart. that looks too complicated.
     
  3. Here are some things I thought of using the Arduino for a automated grow Chamber:

    Checking soil moisture. - Water if its too dry
    Checking plant height - Moving up the light as the plant grows
    Switching the from Vegetative to Flowering; Turning lights on and off automatically.
    Checking grow chamber temperature and alert the grower if it's too hot.
    Timed adding of nutrients.

    Using the Arduino it is possible to build a 100% automatic grow chamber. You wouldn't need to check up on it once throughout the grow process. I was thinking of making a chamber that I could leave anywhere in the house for every 3 weeks growing a Lowryder..

    If anybody wants to add their ideas for automated growth please do.
     
  4. sounds complicated and expensive, if you manage to do something like that don't forget to post some pictures....
