[SativaCulture]

Man what a sick program nice great work im ganna use this all the time.

 

[LuciferX]

are there any instructions on how to better use all the features. i love the program but its kind of confusing to use ,an instruction booklet of some sorts would be awesome.

We do have instructions for auto events and auto tracking on our sourceforge page but nothing else yet. I was holding off on writing anything on the main functions until we are at or near at version 1.0 because a lot will change and be added between now and then but ya there will be instructions eventually

Lx

How does this compare to cannagrower???.I really wanted a PC grow calender and cannagrower was all I could find....and it's so fkn hard to use if you dont know what you're doing like me!!LOL

Sooo????not that good...great...????whats up

 

[ScrogThis]

Looked at CannaGrower, I like this one better but my grows are just small medical grows. I found CannaGrower confusing.

 

[ENDLSCYCLE]

Yeah...Canna took a little bit to figure out but this one looks like you can track the perpetual a littl better....I'll try it out!!!

I'll chime in here... I've seen this thread a few times and have posted to it once.

The Grow Assistant runs on mac and now they are offering a free version.

Maybe give them a look if this program does not meet your needs?

I only use the GA because I'm friends with the developer and it runs on my iPad and iPhone and is mac/windows compatible...

I apologize if this is considered spam, I'm hoping this is seen as answering the question above

 

[LuciferX]

I wish GA was more like herb.iq

You get 3 free records with GA, the only useful version is almost 100 which is just crazy. I would recommend you load up a VM and use herb.iq with windows until our mac version is released which will also be FREE.

Wow, Way to mis quote me there buddy....
Also, I don't think there is a version for $100, where are you getting your info?

Anyway to each their own, Good effort guys!

Very nice start indeed! Very intuitive, features make sense, program seems to work as advertised. Features I would include/add to the list:

Linux/Android support would be first on my list. Check out the Android developer API, it makes things wicked simple and gives you a lot of cool options, and Android is also poised to take over the smartphone market. It is also much more OPEN than apple's products.

Sensors support has a lot of potential. Heat, humidity, Co2 sensors with reporting capabilities via SMS, email etc. That would be badass and the possibilities are mind-boggling. Maybe before that, a simple interface for tracking heat/humidity/co2 etc under the Grow Room tab. I know where I live the temps swing dramatically from season to season and it can have a big impact on the room, and an interface for tracking that would help anticipate the needs of the room during different parts of the year.

Extra security measures, auto-data wipe, strong encryption, etc. This is another good reason to add Linux support. I know a lot of people are on their high medicinal horse but let's not forget our brothers/sisters in non-medicinal states!

On the nutrient page, how about a simple calculator and possibly a feeding schedule? Maybe PPM, EC, PH tracking with graphing capabilities? Something to keep track of what you feed them and when. Maybe even give an interface to input the exact guaranteed analysis of elements on your particular nutrient product, then do the calculations automatically based on reservoir size, desired potency of the solution, etc.

That said I think you have an AWESOME feature set so far. You get my vote right out of the gate just for being open source! I will keep a close eye on this project and give you feedback/ideas as they come to me. Sorry if anyone already asked for these features as I really don't have time to read 50+ pages of this thread right now.

new at growing, justed to know if i started a plant in DWC, could i take the plant, when it is ready to flower stage, if i could tranfer it to souil. i'll be using a 5 gal bucket 10 inch net and a circular type air stone, that would fit in the bottom, of the bucket, connected a air pump. using fox farm as nutirents.

toadley stoned
may we all live in peace n get toadley stoned

 

[tet1953]

I'm new around here myself MJ4ever, but I would say that you have posted your question in the wrong thread. This thread is about LuciferX's grow software.

 

[W.V.GROWER]
