Control FOAF's Greenhouse

[TheJackal]

There are a lot of very smart peeps in here and FOAF is hoping they will help program the parameters of FOAF's automated greenhouse.

Occupants: 5 lb mycobag nocced up with B+, Redboy and Texas, about 5% colonized.

Available Measurements: Temp (T), RH (RH), Dew Point (DP)

Programmable Devices:
Heater (H), Cool Mist (CM), Light (L), Ultrasonic (U), Filtered Air Input Fan (F)

e.g., here are sample parameter settings:
(1) if T is less than 78 turn on H, if T is greater than 78 turn off H
(2) if RH is less than 80% turn on U and CM, if RH is gretaer than 80% turn off U, if RH is greater than 84% turn off CM
(3) light off
(4) fan on for 1 minute and off for 59 minutes every hour (1 min is the minimum resolution for timer parameters)

PS: other devices could be added if needed, such as an air conditioner to lower temps, etc.

Wow thats some fancy looking stuff. Indeed there is a cool factor there.

That being said, why would you need a greenhouse at all for a mycobag?

looks like a neat setup there..what did that set ya back? $$ wise.

Are you planning to use the Myco bag as span for a bulk sub?

Ok, so FOAF may be on crack. FOAF is using greenhouse, covered up with a black cover, lights internal, however, so that the mycobags are not laying around in the open in FOAF's house.

With that said, what are proposed parameters, everything off?

It cost FOAF a lot, ~600 or so and rising, less computer (see http://forums.mycotopia.net/showthread.php?t=19076 (The PC Full Auto Greenhouse Build Tek)).

For now, FOAF will be just fruiting in the mycobag, but may do bulk spawn experiments down the road. With that said, what are proposed parameters, everything off?

FOAF plans, however, some morel indoor cultivation experiments soon, where sophisticated temp, FAE, RH, and moisture control will be needed (see http://forums.mycotopia.net/showthread.php?t=20284 (Morel Cultivation video - PBS Scientific American Frontiers)) and may be facilitated by the auto set up.
