      dude, I have questions. I have rasberry pi and made a large hydroponic and greenhouse, 8x8 meters. Where did you get all the sensors? Is this all open source that I can use these? I am just starting up and had a lot of failures on the way including getting very sick. I am hoping to get things working.

      A lot has changed since I was a kid. When I was a kid, all of this was at most, just imagination. Heck, smartphones weren't even a thing when I was a kid. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like for people who are 80-90 years old. The world of their childhood is long dead and gone. Unlike a lot of the older generation, I'm totally for automation and technology. It can really be a huge benefit to humanity, however, I also believe that the old ways of farming should remain, even if just to preserve crop variety.

If you are strong enough in any area you can pick up the other skills just by doing. People like Kyle make this possible by sharing the kind of detail he does. That's what blows me away. Anyway, Thanks Kyle! Amazing!

    Wow, that is exactly my kind of gardening! I got into hydroponics due to my interest in tech (3D printing, automation, arduino etc.) and gardening. That's one awesome system!

    OK MY GUY HOLY SMOKES. But seriously... this over-engineered lettuce tent is a masterpiece. As is the video. The continuous shot from planting to late stage growth was just.. oof.. brings a tear to my eye.

    Brilliant, just brilliant.
    Not only a great idea, really well executed., but open-sourced, documented, and a great video to boot.
    This just blows every other 'how to make a hydro system' completely out of the water., congratulations.
    I have a masters degree in electronics and write software for a living, and I bow down in homage :-)
    Time to dig out my Raspberry Pi & brush up on my Python ...

    Upgrade suggestion: light intensity control + notify you when a solution (e.g. ph+) needs a refill
