Word, I was actually going to suggest everything you just said if you came back with a standard answer like "4" or something!  But of course, you know what you are doing.

it be really nice to have wireless inputs!

i was also thinking it might be cool to have stand alone capabilities (not hook up to your computer) and just have the variables displayed through a small lcd on the unit, and entered through a number pad.

did you not read:

An update, the current design will be stand-alone, will interface to a computer via. USB, and at your option incorporate a backlit LCD with controls, for working with the box on-the-fly.



now wireless is probably a different story!

Please excuse me if im wrong. Doesnt having a humidifyer turn on for a few min using a digital timer 2x a day make enough humidity? And isnt your house already temp controlled? And cant you have lights on a 12/12 timer? So basicly you can easily make a automated grow without hooking up to your pc. Now growing weed is a diferent story because you have ph,tds,rez level, and temp that changes due to outside temp because of the cooling. So i can understand why you would automate that, and it has been done. But mushrooms dont need as much maintence as shrooms and most control is climate wich is easily done using a heater with thermostat and a humidifyer.

Now if you could make an automated program and system that you only make the casing, then it harvests at the right time, drys it and rehydrates the substrate that would be soemthing to see!

Not everyone has a 10 gallon aquarium and two casings, Gr0wer, and not everyone grows cubensis, and growing weed isn't that hard.

Neither do I. You can easily grow in a multi rubbermaid system using controls as a mentioned. For those hard to grow strains like pans you can use the meathods as i mentioned just mabey youd want to spend a few more bucks to buy a humididy controller and a good digi thermosat.

Growing weed isnt hard but it takes a hell of allot more maintence them shrooms, so it is harder then growing weed. But then again, what isnt hard to do once you know how to do it... All it takes is time once you get something down.

Or taking the time to fumigate motherfucking mites, right?

Eventually, some people who grow more for the "hobby" (myself) instead of growing to "get fucked up on shrooms, man" (myself 5 years ago) want ways to refine their operation and truly get the optimum conditions, ALWAYS. You've got to admit that your RH and temperature fluctuate a fair bit using that kind of setup... I know because I use pretty much exactly what you describe, a multi-Rubbermaid system using assorted timers.. i consider that "Semi-Automated" as i have to check the thing more then once a day to make sure everything is legit, and its kind of a bitch to fine-tune every time you replace a piece of equipment - Kind of a bitch now that I've redone everything I have to fit in a modified piece of furniture. It would be much easier for me to pretty much know that the machine is taking care of the maintenance for me, at constant levels, and be able to get one of those USB cords on the automatic retractor, bust it out from behind the modified dresser and plug it into a laptop to check everything. Plus, that gives you a good feeling inside when you grow mushrooms like a suave James Bond-style motherfucker.

a humidistat is an expensive peice of equipment that is very useful to keeping a semi-constant RH. plus a thermostat, and fan control. not to mention all this stuff is logable. you dont have any one package that can do this as a home cultivator. it all comes down to providing optimal care for your organism, for whatever reason...

I see your point, its all for an all in one system. The log would be great for fine tuning grows and troubble shooting.

If you love shroom growing and spending your time on it, then why dont you?
Automating it will just kind of make it commercial , and you dont have to bother with it.(Dont get me wrong , I like the idea and would try and build one myself, but i just havent got the time.)

Oh, I spend plenty of time with the little bastards right now... I just can't spend 24/7 staring at the box and switching shit on/off when it hits a certain level. Its mostly the RH control and Temperature logging that I want. Plus, I like hooking everything I own up to the thinking machine.

Oh, will I -ever- get rated? Rate me bad, at least.....
