Automated Systems ?

I hear that there are automated hydroponic systems that only require maintence about once a week if everything is running great, has anyone heard of that ?

Well... you would have to... at the VERY least, raise your lights daily

Hi Skunkstar, I recently had the same thoughts as yourself, this is the the closet thing I could find to an Automated System. This are made by a company called Autogrow, the first one you would need is called Intelliclimate and is for grow room controls; lights,fans,humidity,co2 and temp ect. The second one is for nutrient controls, it is called Autodose, this is a complete automatic system for you nutrient tank, it will "autodose" up to 8 different additives, nutes, ph, ect. These systems are very expensive and would require a large grow to justify the cost. Keep in mind there are still other daily requirements for looking after you op. Hope this helps.
