Free Grow Software!

For anyone who is interested, here is the latest revision of Herb.IQ. The features in this revision should be included in Ver .2 Stable when it's released. You should just have to extract this .zip to a folder and then you can run the .exe.

As with all beta software, you agree to use at your own risk!! I can't stress this enough, things might break. Best bet is to keep your existing .1 version and install this alongside. Take a copy of your ver .1 data file and put it in the v.2 Beta folder. Should allow you to use your existing data.

Please let me know of any bugs you encounter.

Thanks,
DB

I can't find my version 1 data file. Where is it at, please?

Did you install using the installer? Mine is C:\Program Files\Herb.IQ\Data.zip but I don't remember if I changed the default installation path. If you have a shortcut on your desktop, you can right-click, properties and check the target path.
 
He might have been using the first auto-installer that we replaced, try downloading the new one, it should import your data file and uninstall the old one so you can get to it in your c:\program files directory or where ever you specify.
 
I don't have a C:\Program Files\Herb.IQ. It's in the add/remove programs and the start menu and I can't find it anywhere else even with a search

You can probably find it in the documents settings of the user account you use.
for example it installed to this path for me..
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\WECG3N1Y.8EH\PX7PJQJY.Z4M\herb..tion_74c412695ef8d82d_0000.0001_3518d3fc49cc6ef1

Download this --> https://sourceforge.net/projects/herbiq/files/NEW.HERB.IQ.0.1.STABLE.INSTALLER.exe/download

It will automatically find your old copy and move the data file to C:\Program Files\HERB.IQ if you install it with the default settings. Just click next all the way through, it will automatically uninstall the old version for you too.
 
Fixed a couple minor things:


  • (BackEnd) - Was creating multiple <Events> nodes for each plant. New code will check to see if already exists and if so, add <event> to it. Otherwise it will create it. READ code handles multiple or single <Events> just fine so no change there.
  • Front status windows now show Plant ID in addition to strain name. Helpful if you are tracking more than one plant from a specific strain.
These are stored in the project source code repository. If you'd like to test, let me know and I'll build a beta .exe.

Ended up making a build for some testing:

Test at your own risk. Make a copy of your data file!!!
 
thank you, i was looking for something a bit more tailored for growing statistics. thought i was gonna have to make a spreadsheet as for some periods of time my g/f will be maintaining my grow and i will be looking over the numbers here and there. also, on your website there is a typo:

"After basic functionality is working future plants include: "

i think you meant future plans* but i'm sure it is an easy typo to make with plants on the brain all the time... hopefully i will be able to assist with testing your program, i've worked a bit on alpha/beta testing since 2000 or so. good luck and thanks again!!

Wow never noticed that, ya I had plants on the brain as I always do :D Thanks! If you'd like to assist sign up on sourceforge and let us know what your username is and we'll get you added to the project.

This gives me "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application"
I have Microsoft .NET framework 4 client profile and extended listed in my add/remove programs

I did find my files in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\2V65KXJW.Z4Y\M2DBBHBA.5DV\herb...exe_74c412695ef8d82d_0000.0001_none_ea76fdbb7bcaf284
and backed them up.
 
Looks good guys. Ive been developing win32 apps for over 10 yrs... so I can appreciate the work that went into it. You guys really had a lot to cram into that UI, and I would have totally done it differently. But thats the cool thing about programming, you can do it 10 different ways, and all of those ways can be "correct". Thanks guys, I will definitely be able to use this.

Feel free to join the project if you have some ideas of how to streamline things. We can always use fresh ideas.

Thx
 
There are only two things I would add, one would be a watering/feeding tab for soil growers. Just to keep track of when you watered or fed them. The other one is a tab for completed grows, just to archive your old grows to reference later. Just some thoughts, but I love the program now! It was a really good job! Thanks
 
Yeah using the events thing works good. I have been keeping my own grow log in MS Word, but your guys program is way better. Once again thanks a ton for this program!
 
Wow you've been busy in the week I've been away it looks like. Nice work! We're still rescheduled for a mid to end of month 0.2 release in August so everyone knows :)
