I set out to make an ultra high-density grow in a 2' x 4' space. If things went as planned, I could fill that space with the maximum amount of buds and save several thousand dollars off of my usual quarterly weed expense.
To do this I was going to have to science my way to success.
What I ended up with was an over-engineered spider mite cave, but thats neither here nor there.
Goal was to have a sealed tent, with a cool-tube light, CO2 injection, and no spider mites.
The heart of the beast is the reservoir, which is mostly a DWC system, but with an additional dorsal irrigation hookup that would aid in plant growth via drip until the roots reached the rez.
The brain of the beast is a Raspberry PI that is hooked up to: 3 temp sensors (out-tent, in-tent, and rez), CO2, and humidity (both bottom tent). These log to a "grafana via graphite" metrics logger, plus additional software to control CO2 injection.
Monitoring:
So far i've seen explosive plant growth! But I started with clones that have spider mites. So I'm fucked.
This post is open for discussion! This attempt of the grow is an almost definite failure due to spider mites. Pt 2 coming soon.
