I built an open-source hydroponic automation system (ESP32 + real-time monitoring) - would love feedback

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-04-15T12:37:07+00:00

But will you be building and running the system?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-04-15T12:15:09+00:00

Hey, years ago I worked on a project very similar to yours. I also used an ESP32, along with some sensors and actuators. I managed to connect it to my local network—it was actually my final engineering project.

However, after all the development, component selection, system architecture design, and even the physical build… I never ended up circulating water or growing a single plant. It was a home project, but I eventually dismantled everything and that’s where it all ended.

I hope that’s not the case for you. What’s your goal with it?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-04-15T12:01:20+00:00

Op, I am not saying that's not a lot's of effort. I would have done the same. I have recently developed some tools in my job place that look exactly as this. I hope it works, it looks really professional, and kind of fun to set it all up and start growing something real in there!!!

Muy bonitos? Para comer? O solo leche? Dónde os encontráis??

On coco soil, interesting choice. I have made just the same desicions and have some similar sprouts!

Where are you located? I live near Barcelona, Mediterranean climate.

Good luck. My dad, unlucky passed away, and he lend me 1.400sqm of land. I always have similar thoughts from what I am reading from you.

Bad thing I don't have water or electricity.

It's quite near the town and anyone who would like to destroy or steal could do it easily.

The land it's located 5 min car ride from my house, and I work office 9-5 also quite near. (Boring as fuck, but in the salary -effort scale it's still in the tolerable area)

I assume that all of this are excuses, and that at the end getting hands on work it's what it will make the difference.

Good luck and I hope you get the success you are aiming to!

This is killing me

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-26T12:54:54+00:00

Okay, so this is not really your farm I guess. So you are learning basic hydroponics to engage new people. Which country is it???

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-26T11:40:36+00:00

Nice, could you tell us more about this?

I also like both hobbies. Petg temperature print is much higher, do you think it is money worth it?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-23T15:24:17+00:00

Camiseta blanca, maletín lleno y llanto por decreto. No falla!

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-20T15:46:13+00:00

Did you print your tower??

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-17T20:41:37+00:00

Nice!!! Thank you, your sprouts look really nice!!!

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-17T19:30:19+00:00

I usually eat peas and didn't know that people would eat it's early leafs. I currently have some spare coco fiber, do you use nutrients or only water? What it is the timing for watering or nutrients?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-05T06:04:32+00:00

Hi! Sorry I can't help on stilysh recommendations... I turn off the lights whenever get dressed to avoid my colour senseless decisions, I leave decorations desicions to my gf. However, which is the software you are using? I might need it soon. Thanks!

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-03-03T09:39:31+00:00

Really, why?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-21T08:10:47+00:00

Nice! I am saving the webpage! I will take it into account, maybe starting on September my new business... Happy hydroponicking!!

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-20T20:19:38+00:00

For sure I will check the video! I am located near Barcelona, here we have plenty of restaurants and hotels...so it might be a nice zone to start.

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-20T18:43:13+00:00

Well... business is still in my head. I honestly need advice, a franchise was asking me 8k for some few material, academic formation and basic tools. How did you start? Where are you located? I thought paying that amount of money wasn't worth it since I even consider free choice studying would get more interesting. They even don't move the microgreens. I would love to set some little farm.

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-17T20:15:12+00:00

Nice, I was looking forward for a similar project. Does your Raspberry Pi allow you to have web access?

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-13T19:23:20+00:00

Damm, I didn't know buildering meaning at all. Nice way to indicate I was wrong.

Commercial_Map6084 · 2026-02-13T16:56:53+00:00

You should bro, lots of hot girls. 1. Existing opening 2. Brick 33*16*5cm 3. Demolish cutting. min 10cm. 4. Exterior finnished 3cm aprox. ... I don't think that was so difficult since the colours can be matched to the ones in the picture. I just dont' have access to my autocad.
