Please allow me to introduce myself…

The lab


Frp over drywall for walls
Frp over 1/2” sanded ply for ceiling
Epoxy floor coating
Rockler ceiling tracks with rockler rollers
2750 watts lighting & supplemental uva bars



Stolen idea from agrowtek then used home assistant and node red to make it function





Prettied up the program so it looked nice on my phone when I show it off :wink:

Also added text box input for main functions, sliders for sub functions(nutrients)

This means more than you know, I followed your journeys across your area and the amazing ingenuity of everyone being able to grow in the harshest environments.

You my good sir are amazing! Keep up all the great work, I send people this way all the time when they ask “how in such an area”. I tell them “see chrisJ at the growers network & ask or follow”

I’d say keep it up, but from my stalking you don’t know how to do anything else but to. So I’ll part with

Thank you & look forward to your next journey! Stay healthy, happy, and well lit!

You’d be surprised those two on / off sensors if the right product could tell you more information than you’d realize.

Mine return not only the status (on/off) but also volts/watts being drawn. And for the same cost of any cheap digital timer.

Hell a few months ago you’d found me sitting there trying to set a few of these (3) to about as close together as possible to run a perpetual

These will alert me if the power fails as well, which is handy. Less stress
