the GT soft receive input from sensors in my case (2 air temp room and canope/2 Rh room and canope/Co2/2 water temp rez and bucket/door/flood/smoke/power fail.With these data you can built a policie EX:if temp(room temp sensor)is higher than 84 switch on A/C those policie are very simple to build.all you need after that is electronic switch(transform soft command in electrical command 5Vdc)
with that you can control everything fan/light/dehu/Co2 /pump/heat exchanger/door look/water valve/main power and water cut/web cam/remote control,everything another example :Fire start in growroom 1. GT smoke sensor go on
2. GT shut down main power and water
(GT have its own battery back-up)
3. GT send text or email
4. GT start fire fight by putting extinguisher in action

Ok I see all these relay's etc...are these items hooked into your Growtronics? I know these items are not sold on Growtronics site so can you explain to me what these are and why you have it set up this way. From what I see on Growtronics you pretty much use their recepticle modules and just label them in you software.
I am in the process of research to decide what setup I want.
Thanks for your time & AWESOME setup!!

I have went through your thread here and don't remember seeing what Fertilizer you are using. Let me say I know nothing about Hydroponics YET! But am very much into Organice Ferts. Don't get me wrong your plants are awesome! But I think I noticed some leaves curling under and they just look like they are missing something. Which got me to thinking that most strains the PH is normally 6.5 - 7.0 and we want the beneficial bacteria's & fungus.
mycorrhizal Fungus and bacteria bascially make it so the roots are able to take in all the nutrients (organic) at a rate in which the plant can use it.
I am not a very smart person so I cannot give you all the techincal data but in my opinion the organic nutrients give the plant everything it needs in a manner that plants would naturally take in, which makes for better taste, healthier plants. It is at least worth looking into. I can send you some material I have collected over time.

EIthiere way you are still admired for your success and it looks like you might have some extra bud at harvest...LOL
