I really need to do a DIY (and still might) , but seems to me given the time & value of a grow,
using these things are a no brainer for me: it says: (just insert replace "Aquarium" with weed plant) ha ha

Reliable monitoring and protection. Digital Aquatics’ Lifeguard™ monitoring system protects your aquarium by monitoring the three parameters that most often lead to tank crashes: temperature, pH and water level (via a switch input). Lifeguard is a super-easy-to-use alternative for anyone who wants to protect their tank without using a controller.

Affordable and integrated. Lifeguard is the only tank protection system that includes built-in pH measurement and built-in Ethernet at such a low price. Lifeguard comes with everything you need –including probes and cables – to monitor pH, temperature and one or more switch devices. Lifeguard comes with a pH probe, a temperature probe and a cable for the switch input. Lifeguard also comes with a power adapter, a quick-start guide and an Ethernet cable for connection to your home or office network and the Internet. The switch cable can be connected to a float switch, a leak detector, or multiple switch devices in series or parallel.

Advanced data logging and graphing help you spot trends. Lifeguard’s advanced data logging and graphing features enable you to spot temperature and pH trends. Spotting trends helps you prevent harmful conditions and take better care of your aquarium.

Anyway, Digital Aquatics is (or was) sorta cheezy/2nd rate compared to Neptune ...hell if for just the alert functions and the water top off, its worth it...but you could in theory maintain pH levels with dosing pumps and it makes for a decent pH/temp montior: cheaper than Blue Lab.... I'm using a controller right now...folks its worth it....
