    Here's my quick intro to hydroponics.

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

    https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo

    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 them too much fertilizer, you will damage your grow and burn your plants.
