It works great. I was concerned the scale would creep but I ran it for a good 6 months and checked calibration and I was only out something like a quart. Now I can easily calibrate the sensors from the interface too, so if I test it and find it's out of tolerance at a res change, it's an easy fix.

@@LEDGardener Well I started with aeroponics using compressed air and nozzles that take an air and water mix, but I'm moving into soil. It's pretty loud and I think I can get better tasting plants with soil. Right now I'm building a soil, 1/3 vermicompost, 1/3 CSPM , 1/3 pumice, with neem, karanja, gypsum dust, basalt dust, and oyster shell. Throwing in worms and cover cropping with clovers. Automation is going to be pretty minimal at first but I might try to run some temp humidity on home automation like you are. I also really like that flood trigger. Maybe even a camera! Might water using blumat. Going to do it all in a 4x8 grow bed in a 5x9 tent.
