I have alot more I want to finish up and I have the designs for alot of it but I am in the prossess of moving because I need a more private area than an apartment provides. I also need to build a CNC in order to cut my circuit boards for the monitoring equipment. There will be a delay before I am able to post new updates about building the rest of the hydro system. I will be monitoring my journal incase anyone has questions about what I have set up so far. I will post the rest of the process as soon as possible.

yeah i also need to get a house, apartment just isnt cutting it. I thought if I could control smell alone id be good. But i wanna build shit too, mess around with ducting and skylights and make noise and I want a garden to recycle soil etc. all the things a house lets u do. but im very interested in all your gains here with the diy stuff. and id be happy if you shared anything info or idea wise.. good luck in your personal life and projects.

Heres a pic of what came out of that grow room

that's looking pretty good - how's the high/smell/flavor?

The smell is mildly skunky mixed with a sweat character that makes it very pleasant.
The taste is a full rich flavor that causes my mouth to salavtie slightly because of the sweetness. High seems to to compliment your mood not to much of a couch lock but nice strong mind high that last a couple of hours after a bowl.

sounds very good! nice job

looks like some lavender/violet hues (unless it is picking them up from the background).

Thee buds have a very blue tone given off by the dense pack of crystals on it that first picture is of the tops of the buds as I cut them from the plant. Its about 1/3 of the harvest from the three plants. its from some bag seed that I've been growing and refining over the past few years. Really turning into something nice. Thanks for looking

I've moved since this grow. I have a new setup That I'm considering automating again if theres some interest in another wright up of the process. Uploading jpegs to an FTP would that prevent anyone from tracking my ip? maybe upload through a proxy as anouther layer of security?

i dont believe it would reveal your ip cause there is nothing constant. site pulls image from ftp account after it has been added by webcam program. any extra features for security is always a plus. when you start your next a more step by step would be fantastic with the equipment you got

Cool thanks for the idea. I'll start work on another setup in a month or so and i'll post a more detailed writeup.

What are you using to hook your sensors to the computer?

I read the jauto site and it mention a sensor controller b3001 aka ar-b3001 but i can't find it on the manufacturer's website.

Is there an equivalent you can recommend or a site that sells the part?

Can you talk a little more about the sensor part of your set up?

I especially like the fact you can use it on linux.

thanks for the thread

It is very helpful

Dataq has cheap serial and usb-based ADC boxes, perfect for running small numbers of sensors. They have ActiveX interfaces for them, and for the serial port models, they also have C++ code on their website, which would allow you to use them under linux. I love this thread, and am starting a related one of my own:

rolln1up, I would be thrilled if you contributed to my thread, or let me know, and I'd be equally pleased to post here, instead, unless you want to keep this thread dedicated to only showing your own project.

Hello all you all, looks very interesting. I am subscribed.
