Looking To grow With Data/Analytics - Newbie

[gardenfather]

Hello Fellow Growers.

i know this might sound silly for a small grower. Im just looking to grow the best medical Cannabis. Ive grown a few plants already. Ive harvested about 4 times now.

I have good success.

My Question is im looking to Grow the Best Medical Cannabis I can. Max out the THC, CBD, Make sure its The Highest Quality the seed can produce.

I'm wondering are there any tools I could buy that would help me achieve this? Something That may be hooked up to my PC, Mobile app, Tools.

- Constantly testing water PH and fixing it
- Checking light, making sure I have the perfect height between plants, The light strength
-Water temp
- Co2 levels when I should increase or decrease?
- Nutrients PPM/EC
- Perfect time to Switch from growing to flower


Maybe I'm just overthinking it Since I want to really have the best medical Quality Bud.


currently, my setup is


5x5 tent
4 AutoPots
LEd 800w lights
Nutrients - GREENPLANET
Nutri+ ph Soil
Co2 I use those The Exhale 365 Homegrown Climate control and CO2 Bag
i have BlueLab ph and PPM pens

Side question

I currently do SOG - with 2 Trellis one at the bottom and one midway
should I do lollipopping or some other type of LST or is SOG good enough?

Just start slow, learn and build over time. Fancy equipment won't replace a green thumb.

I would only trellis to keep the plants from falling over, and if you can do that with one trellis, then just use one. Just start dialing what you have IN, until you get it right, then repeat it over and over with new improvements. You will find the sweet spot you are looking for, in due time with experience. Sounds like you are already on the right track. Lollipopping is best determined by the size of the plant and the size of the container and how many watts you are running!

You can buy green thumps... all a question of money

you can see high quality equipment here

if you strive for perfection, you should get a directional microphone in the high frequency range. it should be able to measure over 100 k / hz. at a distance of 20-10cm you can make the screams of your plants visually visible during a stress phase. it is a very new playing field ... but all the more exciting ... it is a type of communication with which we will in future receive the needs of the plants.

You'll need to create a microbially digested vegan soil for best quality. Soluble fertilizers are the #1 enemy of quality.

You might be expecting too much of a computer. It can't tell you what to do. You tell it.

Collect all data yourself. When you know what the plants need, then you can use a computer to try and automate things.

If for instance you run a tank for a week and get pH drift, then you might want a pH doser.

Look at the commercially available tools. They assist a gardener, but don't replace one.

Write down everything. Learn to grow. Then you know what to tell your computer to do. So that you can get help with the maintenance.


You can automate something to do what it did yesterday. Or a grow before. Neither is reactive gardening though. It might keep them alive while you are on holiday. A crop won't want the same treatment every time though. Not if you want the very best.
