Smart Grow Closet Overview
Don't have a yard or much space or time to manage a bigger grow tent?
You are in luck, a new crop of products are making an appearance that automate almost the entire process from nutrient and light management to drying settings. Outside of adding water and adding nutrients after your grow cycle has ended you should be able to average 3-4 ounces every three to four months with any of the systems listed below.
These new devices include features like:
- Video cameras on the crops for check-in and time lapse of your grow
- Alerts on your phone when your water levels get low and needed to be added to (If you have a water and sewer line even this can be automated)
- Automatic lighting and other adjustments based on your specific strain
