this programmer was either way to high or an amature. This does not deserve to be a sticky. This program is absolute trash and no one should download it here is why. Many times this program has lost info i have put into it, and even more importantly the change phase feature does not function. I entered some data of some plants i started flowering a month ago. On 4/28 data is entered correctly. One would assume this program would track the flowering based on the input date. Nope it started tracking today in the count on the main screen even though a different date is entered. I could point out more no functioning functions that are guaranteed to fuck up your grow but this is long winded enough!!!

Great concept and good input fields. I downloaded Framework3 (stand alone version) and the installer worked. However, I cannot populate the database, I build a selection list and cannot display it on input fields. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I am a software developer myself. Peace...

actually im not trolling you just made glitchy software end of story. i have feeling there a few who have used it long term, fewer noticed the inconsistencies of how it handles data, and even fewer even gave a shit to tell you about it. if this is an old version why is it stickied to the top of the general forum? maybe you should have a mod remove it or update the link. anyways try this enter 4/13/2013 for your clone date, veg start 4/21/2013. save and exit. this yest plant now has the same data as mine before the switch. now do this in this EXACT ORDER: change flower to 4/28/2013 THEN change phase to flower. plant then dissapears and goes to flower section as expected. now look at your quadrant view what date is it tracking. probably not the date you just entered i tried this on three plants same data. one says 0.0 days and automatically changed the date to today the other did the same and said its been tracking for 4.4 days.(and yes the date on my pc is correct) the other said 4.0 days with the same data even though it was done 5 mins apart, where does it get the 4.4 days from or 4.0 from the same data? where is this missing plant? why is it automatically changing field i already entered? to your defense some one posted after my initial post that if you you change the phase first or correct the dates it changed it will update the tracker. in my opinion that is still a major glitch and the fact that it got 4.0 days and 4.4 days when im only 6 hours into the day its "accidentally" the fact its math is wrong even for the data showing in the fields makes me question its ability to track accurately every time even after i have manually REENTERED THE DATES AFTER IT CHANGED THEM FOR ME. also 2-3 times after entering mass amounts of data for over 40 plants it gets 100% lost the next time i reopen the program, it is also not in the backup. also your software implies it tracks the hours on your bulbs and fans etc. as far as i can tell the does not function either. so really what does work on the program and why should anyone use it? i appreciate your desire to contribute to community with freeware, but data entry is serious stuff and the software has to be extremely reliable and bug free to be a useful tool for a serious grower other wise is an added frustration and a possible hindrance. im not trying to troll im just warning others your software is full of bugs and apparently out of date according to you. you guys can call me a troll all you want but down the road just remember i told you so. i would rather cough up a few bucks on legit software rather than use something that runs a high risk of errors.

Downloading the code from source forge right now, maybe while I am playing farmer I will play developer (I have way more experience as a developer) I will have a look and see if I can contribute anything useful; I am a DB Programmer and have been for about 14 years, and pretty strong with c# and VB with visual studio 2012 (now) . thanks

Posted an update, working on swapping out the code base in the next release 0.8.0 finally. Going to jack the DPI up quite a bit too, did a small bump in this release.

Changes in 0.7.4:


- Increased DPI, second increase coming in 0.8.0
- Replaced some datepicker controls with datetimepicker
- Some textboxes now only accept numeric input
- Fixed some UI layout issues
- Reordered tab order on the plant tab
- Forced all UI rendering to software (CPU)
- Fixed a report -> export bug
- Fixed containers dates not switching on record with null value

Can get at:

thanks for the upgrade. install went with no problems and the database was updated perfectly. one problem I still notice is that the sorting of the DAYS on the home screen is still not correct.

Thanks, probably shouldn't even bother looking at the current code base it's a mess. If you're interested I can send you the new base that I'm currently wiring into this app for the next release, just shoot me an email or PM if you are.

Labeled as 0.7.5 but installs as 0.7.4 still -> ok now in the FLOWERING and SEEDS windows they are sorted correct with the "0" before the lower digits. however the VEG window is still the old way of sorting. I have nothing in CLONEs window to check

i see there is an install 0.7 version and a 0.7.5 upgrade... i gather i need to first install 0.7 then use the upgrader? or can i just run 0.7.5?
