#1 you are posting in the wrong topic
#2 I would recommend against moving a DWC plant into soil so late in the life cycle. I believe this will cause you more issues than your ready for.

Very nice start indeed! Very intuitive, features make sense, program seems to work as advertised. Features I would include/add to the list:

Linux/Android support would be first on my list. Check out the Android developer API, it makes things wicked simple and gives you a lot of cool options, and Android is also poised to take over the smartphone market. It is also much more OPEN than apple's products.

Sensors support has a lot of potential. Heat, humidity, Co2 sensors with reporting capabilities via SMS, email etc. That would be badass and the possibilities are mind-boggling. Maybe before that, a simple interface for tracking heat/humidity/co2 etc under the Grow Room tab. I know where I live the temps swing dramatically from season to season and it can have a big impact on the room, and an interface for tracking that would help anticipate the needs of the room during different parts of the year.

Extra security measures, auto-data wipe, strong encryption, etc. This is another good reason to add Linux support. ;) I know a lot of people are on their high medicinal horse but let's not forget our brothers/sisters in non-medicinal states! :)

On the nutrient page, how about a simple calculator and possibly a feeding schedule? Maybe PPM, EC, PH tracking with graphing capabilities? Something to keep track of what you feed them and when. Maybe even give an interface to input the exact guaranteed analysis of elements on your particular nutrient product, then do the calculations automatically based on reservoir size, desired potency of the solution, etc.

That said I think you have an AWESOME feature set so far. You get my vote right out of the gate just for being open source! :) I will keep a close eye on this project and give you feedback/ideas as they come to me. Sorry if anyone already asked for these features as I really don't have time to read 50+ pages of this thread right now. :)

Thanks for the ideas, will be sure to put them on the todo list for the coming versions. My current plans are to make the enhancements from the screenshots to 0.4, replace the current encryption library, and then release a silverlight port that runs on Mac and Linux both. When the current library is replaced that will allow for much stronger encryption. I also want to implement a more real-time encryption so that nothing is ever on the disk unencrypted.

Now that I have a Mac I want to see the app able to run on that too :bigjoint:

just got a copy of the program. really cool setup. My only question is where is the help button. seems like a easy enough interface to use but I haven't quite figured it all out. Subscribing for sure to this thread. I want to really learn about this one.

That's cool, may do it with my iPad. Is there iPad software out there jail broken or not?

Hey I had one question, I screwed up and promoted one of my grows to nothing! What I mean is you can promote from clone to veg and then to flower then to harvest. Well I was screwing around with the program and promoted one of my grows and didn't pick a stage. Now I can't find it to delete it! :) Any idea on how to find/delete it?

That was an old bug, the new version shouldn't do that. I'll create a function to fix this automatically in the next upgrade, if you want to fix it now you can go into the installed directory and extract the contents of Data.zip and delete or rename that file to Data.zip.old or something like that. Open HERB.IQ.420 that you just extracted with notepad and look at all the lines that look like this:

<CurrentPhase>Seeds</CurrentPhase>

You want to find the empty one that looks like this:

<CurrentPhase></CurrentPhase>

And manually write in a valid phase, it's case sensative. Won't be much longer until 0.4.0 if you'd rather wait for that.

Thanks for the reply I think I will just wait for the update. And you are saying that when I get the update and install it will fix that floating problem? If not I will just write down all the info and uninstall and reinstall the program.

Still can't install and no advice since my post on the 11/1.... It looks like a cool program..... Hope I get to use it someday. Installed .net 4 and whatever else it required for install but the installer keeps giving me an error about .net framework

Install .NET 2.0 to use the installer or just use the manual install, either will work

:clap::clap::clap:Ok after trying out the program While clear headed, it turns out this is more then awesome. I figured out how to input the info and navigate around. This is so cool. I am on my laptop almost every moment I am not in the grow room so this really helps me keep track of what I am doing and what I need to do. You really have got something here. When you get it available for my I phone Thats going to be even better. Just so you know BIG THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT FREE but I would definitely pay you for this. +REP

oh wow i just figured out I can add multiple pictures for each strain or each grow so I can see my progress. I going to keep trying it out to see what else it does. if you want feedback or tester of upgrades I am down. Features i am loking for now are nutes def info, ppm, ec, ph, co2 tracker, weekly growth tracking, nutes weekly tracking.

Some of these may be in here but I am still learning my way around. So please bare with me. By far a great tool for novice and professionals. and it seems pretty easy to learn even without a tutorial. Thanks again and I will look forward to the future versions.

Thanks I should have an RC out in the next week or two for 0.4.0 which will include all the features you mentioned, we need as many testers as we can get :D

Thanks, I was thinking of a web interface that had device profiles for android/iphone/ipad/windows7 phone to start with and looking at native applications in the future. Focus before that is making a silverlight port to run on Mac/Linux Pcs which could eventually run on iphone/andoid devices and can probably already run on windows 7 phones.
