I will try this weekend to do some sketches, the feedback till now is great and the ideas are flowing. I'll publish them so you can share your feedback.
Hanging would require a structure that would be costly, my idea is to try to build it around for the same cost of a crop (one bucket) counting...
Dude, that's low...
In my work line I solve this kinds of problems, doing the same as the others brings nothing new, trying new approaches even if they don't work in the end gives you always knowledge or sometimes it's when you fail that you find the solution.
If people are weighing by hand to...
Yup. I like almost impossible challenge if not it's not fun, but when you nail one, damn you feel proud. And test the theory in this case is too cheap to say no. Just got to smoke one and seat in front of the pc. Nothing like light on and letting the brain loose
I was talking with an electronic engineer that works with automatisation, he said he tested lost and most are garbage and gave me some points. It's really not more expensive can even be cheaper and one time installation.
Normal sensors hydrometers cost 12 euros and they simply are not design to...
I've read it. But with this maybe you could automatise watering by weight without needing multiple sensors per pot that have a lifespan defined by corrosion
You can measure you initial pot with the seedling, even having loses it would be just a few grams and if you change pots you just calculate the difference, that is doable. You just need to know the initial state
Soil type and pot size wouldn't be taken in consideration at this point that's why I ask to remove that. Just the plant weight. Obviously trimming has a big impact on that, but initially I would like to see if a pattern appears in this factors to see if there are common values in different stages
Yes. I understand the variables here are a lot, but has everything when you gather big data there is always patterns that you can establish, plus it could be a way to find relative standard measurements for things like pot that would help to create better reference points.
Since we have...
Thanks for the advice. I see a lot a reference to that technique but it's seems to require a sensibility to it also, to compensate the weight difference compared with the plan growth, any advice for it or recommendation for a guide.
