What does HackerNews think of Mycodo?

Here's my quick intro to hydroponics.

If you want bridge your grow with automation and coding I recommend everyone take a look at

If you're looking for instrumentation/controllers for your grow (CO2, PH, TDS, EC) I recommend:

If you're indoor and need lighting, build your own LED based lighting. Use the Samsung LM301B or LM301H led. I shopped https://atreumlighting.com/ for my last DIY kit and my light fixture came out perfect.

If you're buying nutrients or supplements, always try to get them in powered formula. Liquid based formulas are typically more expensive because you're paying to ship the water around and water is heavy. Most nutrient lines provide a feed schedule and dosing. When doing nutrients, less is more, never give your plants too much fertilizer, you will damage your grow and burn your plants.

Yes, I'm growing cannabis, you can see some of the fun we've had over the years at:

Outside of light, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), or NPK for short

Finding the right combination of these elements is what hydroponics farmers do everyday, pushing the limits of their crop for maximum quality/yield. We are starting to see a big shift in hydroponic fertilizers from liquid to powder since nobody wants to pay for shipping water.

I highly recommend https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo for anyone doing anything in hydroponics.

I really like the mycelium bag slit approach to fruiting, I had never seen this done, I'm sure it's common enough but it is a wonderful idea.

For those of you unaware the guy who made this video maintains Mycodo, an absolutely amazing piece of software for automating and monitoring sensors and actuators of basically any kind.

Very interesting video on wild mushrooms cultivation from picking, sterilization chamber making,inoculation samples making, inoculation process, growing chamber making with control and monitoring systems, grain spawn preparation, mushrooms growing and last but not least cooking with time lapsed video!

Mycodo open source IoT monitoring, control and automation system based on RPi being used in the video [1], and previous discussion on HN [2].
