    Dude! THANK YOU for putting in the effort to share detailed info and code on your build. I've been wanting to do something like this but afraid of all the rabbit holes I know I will go down. Your work will greatly reduce wasted time and blind alleys in which I would no doubt have been mugged. :-)

      It works great. I was concerned the scale would creep but I ran it for a good 6 months and checked calibration and I was only out something like a quart. Now I can easily calibrate the sensors from the interface too, so if I test it and find it's out of tolerance at a res change, it's an easy fix.

It's pretty loud and I think I can get better tasting plants with soil. Right now I'm building a soil, 1/3 vermicompost, 1/3 CSPM , 1/3 pumice, with neem, karanja, gypsum dust, basalt dust, and oyster shell. Throwing in worms and cover cropping with clovers. Automation is going to be pretty minimal at first but I might try to run some temp humidity on home automation like you are. I also really like that flood trigger. Maybe even a camera! Might water using blumat. Going to do it all in a 4x8 grow bed in a 5x9 tent.

    I just completed a modified version of this build that enables OTA updates for the control box esp32 using the Arduino IDE. Awesome work man and I just want to say thank you for saving me weeks of my life. If I had to take a guess I would say electrical engineer, controls designer, or plc operator?

      Right on, man. Nice work.
      I’ve been working in low voltage for the past 10 years or so and have also gotten into programming in the last couple years and love it.

    Hey, I absolutely am in love with this project and looking to very closely replicate it! One question I have for you is how did you make the connections into the Arduino underneath the Tentacle shield? With DuPont connectors I was finding that the shield then would not snuggly fit into the Arduino. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi! Where do you pump the nutritients? Do you pump it right into the reservoir? And how do you make sure, that the system will make the right EC? Is it constantly checking ec and then stopping or based on a timer? Thanks
