Grow Tent Automation Project

It came with the Autopot Kit, it basically is but its very rigid and the lid is solid and covers better than any garbage can lid.

That answers all my questions! Congratulations you will be growing soon

Finally got some deliveries and some time to work on this project.
Here are some of the plant sensors and simple power controls I will be using. Also some pictures of the interface I am working on for the automation part… I put in some early screen shots of the phone and web interface. Live grow cam as well…

I’m working on a similar project myself. Definitely a small challenge.

Just a note if anyone is looking at those sensors above. They are very good and simple setup if you use the common plant apps but for my project I wont be using those… They dont integrate well with what I am trying to do… I ordered these if anyone happens to use them already I would love to hear what you think about them…

Grabbed someone’s layout from the forum Thank You whomever designed it. Very simple but I have my auto cure jars and pump. I’ll be automating that with a timer on the interface. Almost ready to get some plants in here😎

Best system ever!! I’m still burping my jars 1 time a week for 15 min’s with this setup… Yours is setup a bit different than mine on how you setup hose’s but should still be ok…

What did you do differently? When you cure you’re doing 15 Mins a week? Is that your go to timing for the whole cure or do you do something differently for the first week or two? I have seen various opinions on the cure…

The first week of curing I set my timer for every 12 hours turn on 15 mins (2 times a day)

then week 2 to 3 I changed to 15 mins every 24 hours (1 time a day)

week 4 I changed my time to every 2 days 15 mins

Week 5 until today still… 1 time a week 15 mins run

Timing depends on RH valve in your jars… Once my RH valves dropped below 55% I added 62% boveda packs in the jars…

I should add that I also every few days tapped the jars with the lid on to unstick the buds…

What is different with my setup is

I used this tool to make holes in the airline

My fresh air in line is longer it wraps around the jar with a plug on the end not the best picture but it’s what I have on hand

My final setup looks like this

I found that placing one check valve outside of the jar allowed for more room in the jar

I found that after about 10 - 12 jars going with that air pump it’s close to maxed (but I guess it depends on what your check valves open at)

I found that I got 100% seal with rubber grommets by putting the check valves in the rubber grommets… I tried with the hose and had leaks but that depends on the size of your rubber grommets your using…

That’s about it honestly your setup maybe 100% fine just sharing my trial and error

Your GUI setup looks really nice so far

Thats much better, you’re getting distributed airflow all around… I will have to do that, thanks for the tip.

One thing I forgot to say… When you burp many jars at the same time look out!!! The smell is OMG great but it can really make your house smell…

I fixed that problem by Adding a 6" carbon filter in my room on a timer to start when burping starts and it runs for 1 hour after burp is complete… Just a tip if your looking to kill the smell
