# CanGrow
![CanGrowLogo](Logo/CanGrow_Logo.png)
A simple DIY plant growing system (for cannabis).
# WORK IN PROGRESS
## Motivation
I want to build a simple grow system, which I can power by my off-grid
12V solar system. So this project is limited to a small 40x40x120 tent
for one plant with a 50W 12V grow LED light.
As I did it for my solar system, the measurements of this project will be shown
on my website. For that a REST API is planned.
I want to automate as much as possible which makes sense and is easy to build.
## Features
- Measure values
- Humidity
- soil moisture
- temperature
- water level for water tank
- LED grow light control (on/off, dimming, max. 12V 50W load )
- fan control (on/off, (PWM?) max 1A)
- pump control for automatic watering (max 1A)
- Web UI and REST API for data and controlling
- simple web ui
- Send notifications with web call (e.g. for mastodon)
- predefined grow profiles
- persistend data
- Start of Grow
- day of grow
- grow profile
- wifi settings
- settings in general
- Easy to build and use for beginners (i hope so!)
- easy to build up on a perfboard
- easy to etch pcb
- easy to access and modify
- low cost as possible!
