All these choices...

[OP-Tempo-Alpha]

Im looking for a truly Stealth Grow operation. Multi plant setup and It needs to have an App, camera and be a totally self sustaining Hydro setup. Auto water...maybe a Flood and drain type deal. I would take the usual grow op route but my current employment keeps me gone for up to a month at a time so this isnt feasible. Ive used google to death and cant seem to find a viable option thats legit and in production. Does this animal even exist? Thanks- OP-Tempo

I am not saying it doesnt exist, but unless you have a care taker I wouldnt leave my girls alone for a month. They are like kids they will get into some trouble while your away lol.

@lukio you know a bit about automated setups and working away, any tips for the OP.

Autopots + biotabs set and huge ass water tank without nutes so that it doesent go bad maybe?

Yo! a month is long but if you know your plants it might be possible.

i used to use a phone camera app called D-Link. Some of those camera apps are horridly insecure so be careful. Rasp Pi might be an option but not my area. maybe @klx knows

i watered with an automated drip feed system, coco drain to waste. If you used bigger pots than me (6 litres) you could probs leave it all longer. Ive never grown full hydro, but an all water system wouldnt give you much time to fix a fuck up?not sure. but coco is pretty forgiving imo.

A month is a long time. Personally I would not think its doable for any length of time. Might get away with it once or twice but long term not gonna work. A week away at a time no worries but a month would need so much preparation and it would stress me out big time.
Just my 2c

is the Rasp Pi any good for automation, dude?

Seems like organicsis the safest solution. And a drip system. Job done!

A pi can basically take the place of any controller if you know how to code or if you know enough to be able to hack other people's code (hehe). If you have more time than money, its a good option but if you have more money than time, I would go with inkbird, trolmaster style controllers where you can just open a box and plug em in. For Pi, Mycodo is good and Home Assistant also is good lots of support for both.

Oh yeah? You leave your organic indoor grow for a month at a time do you? Dont think so.

 

[Medskunk]

I dont and i wouldnt.. but if the dripper was all set, one solution is there. Gooday

I guess learning c++ is easier

an auto doser that you can control with an app should be the only hard part. res with a auto fill valve and auto doser for nutrients, if you need a light switch you'd also need an app controlled light controller as well, it all exists its just very expensive. if you want to play, you got to pay.
