Hey all, new grower here, just CBD of all things even. I have actually never have tried to grow anything, let alone CBD. I have minimally invested(for me), with a mars hydro 24x24x55, which will probably grow 1 plant at a time for me, which should be more than enough for now. I am a big DIY'er and an even bigger techie/automation/engineering guy. I will be running my first one manually, but from there (after I get my notes, and stuff dialed in) I will be going nearly fully automated. I have already been tinkering with some cheap arduino sensors to get a handle on this. Anyways, I don't really have any questions as of right now, but I am SURE I will. More of just an introduction post. Just planted some seeds today!
I don't know if equipement and whatnot is a thing here, but here is what I have, and what I am proposing.
Setup:

(light with baffles, start out on 1, then go to 2, and then finally 3)
First quick "toy" an all in one, soil moisture, temp and humidity, to wifi, to my automation system.

Sneek peek of the automated setup.
