I’m pretty new to this site but I have a feeling a ton of decade-old threads are being resurrected with the rise in home growers looking for info as legalization opens up state by state. Definitely some opportunities out there. I imagine iOS apps are going to have to be creative seeing there are a lot of restrictions to get in the App Store. I know there are cannabis-related apps already in the store, I just don’t know what kind of rules Apple has in regards to cannabis.

This is the best open source grow software I've come across.
github.com
It's under active development, tons of features, extensible, and has an API.

Oh! I am!
I think it depends on your skill or maybe your tinker ability if that makes sense? I'm super new to raspberry pi(uh, first time I opened one) and was able to set it up but I like to tinker with stuff.
I think one of the biggest obstacles you might face is the money. If you can buy the atlas-scientific probes, you shouldn't have an issue at all. I THINK the cheap/non isolated probes for PH and EC interact funky with each other unless you do something? You might actually be able to buy the "carrier boards" from atlas and use probes from somewhere else - Do not quote me on that though - I was in a rush to set it up and bought the pieces that were supported. Join the discord group and ask or see the below link to supported devices?
Outside of that, it has been pretty easy and he is pretty active on the discord if you have legit issues.
Basically, buy Pi, Install raspbian(flash to sd card, insert, run), pull up command prompt and install mycodo. With my limited knowledge I was able to get the probes up and running (PH, Temp, EC) and also attach 2 pumps to relays(non atlas pumps cause they are a rip off) and use the built in function for generic pumps for my PH up and PH down.
I was then able to log in during my 1 week vaca, monitor and adjust my PH of my RDWC system while I was away. It was nice knowing everything was going alright. I have an auto top off on more of an analog sensor/switch that pumps water in when it gets low.
This is my first time attempting RDWC as well so still working out the balance of EC and PH but below is my dashboard and I can access from my phone remotely when out.
There are settings to email alerts if X criteria is met or just pump in PH up/down if ph hits a certain level as well as EC or whatever. I'll probably implement that on the next grow once I have my balance in check and I'm a bit more comfortable. I already bought more relays and pumps, just finding the time to do it now. I already have Kasa smart plugs for lights so was too lazy to go into bringing that into this.
Just a small breakdown of my costs (except I bought lab grade probes instead of consumer on the PH and EC)
PH Probe, Circuit and board - $42+$42+$24 = $108
EC Probe(lab grade) , Circuit and board - $112+$62+$24 = $198 or kit with solution for $203
Temp probe, Circuit and board - $22 + $30 +$24 = $76
ANYONE READING THIS THAT GOES WITH ATLAS CIRCUITS - MAKE SURE TO SWITCH TO I2C MODE I spent way to long trying to trouble shoot this lol.
So close to $400 for the probes alone. Then just went with a generic $12 pumps and $8 dual relay for the PH up/down pumps as well as the ones I'm going to add for the rest of my nutes.
Here's a giant list of user added supported inputs so you don't need to go with atlas, it was just the brand I believe he built it around and since I had no idea how to code, I went with what was basically plug and play - do it right the first time so I didn't get mad, break it and do it twice for a higher price?
** Edit to add - Another reason I went with Atlas was incase support or function dropped on Mycodo(like that herbiq) Atlas also has a free program that runs on the pi and I figured that would be a back up and the probes/pi /everything wouldn't be wasted should shit hit the fan.
