Well, for my 2000th icmag post (PARTYYY! lol) I'm contemplating writing some software to enable growers to make tracking their grows easier, but i feel it's important to get some thoughts from others here before even starting this because every grower is different and has different needs ...
- Everybody has different setups and will want to keep track of some things while not having to worry about others.
- Some will want a more flexible-but-complex system, while others would want it kept as simple as possible (the idea afterall is to make things easier for the grower).
- Some people grow outdoors and fly by the sun, others grow indoors with their own custom lighting schedule.
- Some indoor growers have just 1 chamber and use that to alternate between veg and flower, others have 2 chambers, others have more, many more in some cases.
- Some people just grow one or two plants, others grow a dozen, some grow hundreds.
etc etc!
In other words, I will have to design a lot of flexibility into this program.
SO! What features would you like to see, and what things are you interested in taking note of/tracking from your grows (and likewise what you aren't interested in)?
And please specify if you're an outdoor or indoor grower! I'm especially interested to hear from outdoor growers because I never grow outdoors, whereas I've got a pretty good idea about what indoor growers want to track.
