Grow Journal Program for computer

I'm working on a open source program to track my grows because I hate writing things down in microsoft word or on paper and want a program that I can enter my grow info in and have it show me my data in a way that's usable to me easily and quickly. If anyone out there wants to help out I just put it out on codeplex. Here is the link to it right now --> http://cannabisjournal.codeplex.com/

Here is the description of what it will be --> Windows Form Application (3.5 .net) written in C# express edition. Data stored using AES 256 encryption with salting by default. Will records plants growth progress as well as nutrient levels, ph, etc at any given time. Images can be added to any "entry". Graphs can be generated to give a visual representation of data, this can be useful to compare different nutrient brands or other comparisons. Would like to include the ability to output to several formats, one being a single file with the images embedded, other might be something that makes it easy to upload certain jounals or images to a website. In making the images ready for the website it could generate the filenames and remove any information embedded from the camera so the images cannot be tracked. Would like to add the ability to backup the journal to a single encrypted data file or directly to some online site in multiple parts.

I released an alpha with a rough start on the "Strains" module. Getting the hang of c# express edition and linq to xml. The project is now posted too so you can go to the website and see the details on the project or download the alpha release or the source code to the project.

More progress has been made, it's not very visible on the front end yet because it's all on the back end but you can see a little bit in the screen shot.

Very Awesome Idea!! I could totally see you making some $ if you perfect this idea... I saw another grow application, just like this one, and I think they're making a pretty penny off it... GoodLuck with everything!!!!

Thanks, I actually dumped the first idea and started over so it could flow together better. Made a lot more progress on the new version, hope to have it usable by this weekend. I don't plan on charging for it, it's also already an open source project so anyone can help as well as download and use it for free. Attached is a screen shot from the new version I'm working on, all the data is stored in encrypted XML files, and it's written to utilize multiple processor cores too.

Making more progress! Got all of the clones tab working now except for pictures which I am going to do after I get the remaining tabs working. I also released the source code I have so far for the first time, just follow the link in my signature.

I now have seeds, clones, and plants tabs working. Not much longer now...

Added flowering!

Added Harvest, will be adding nutrients and resevoir tonight

I guess I should have said this earlier but if you want to run the beta you need the .net 4 runtime which is here --> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en

When the first stable release is finished I'll put all that into the installer

Added res and nute tabs, changed the config file structure too
