I think im saying this right but bare with me, I need to know if anyone has hands on experience with a program that has to do with monitoring the readings for the temp, humidity, air flow, co2, etc. , Im not talking about a "brain" im talking about a program that i can buy or download to a laptop that will DOCUMENT it in a graph or something of that sort, so i can read it very clearly and possibly have the up-to-date statuse of my grow-op sent to me via e-mail or data phone. And if you do have hands on experience please share the pro's and con's to the program that you are referring too, I am not too educated on this particular topic but if every one can explain in great detail or just post a link to get me some more edjamacated... that would be great!

Come to think about it i dont think ive ever seen anyone on any websites like riu have this question asked so maybe this could be a permanent thread. ++++ rep

Excel, I haven't used it to grow, haven't even grown, but I do use it to keep track of data and produce graphs at work.

first of all, this question is frequently asked and frequently shot down because it's pointless and lazy :)

anything a computer program can do in regard to your grow will require manual input, unless you have digital sensors hooked up telling you actual c02 PPM etc etc. pretty much makiung it pointless.

that aside though, as said previously, it is just plain lazy and completely not worth the effort. it take 2 seconds to take a notpad and jot down "june 19th, 5ml feed, ppm X, x02 30 minutes etc.

what do you want these graphs for? are you that keyed in that come harvest and you don't quite like the taste that you will be able to look at your graphs and readouts and say hah, april 10th, i fed them 1ml more than normal, that is why it tastes odd. just seems a total gimmick. i'm lost as to why it would be useful, i see it as a gimmick or a weird kind of bragging point for friends

i totally agree. if you were using said system to not just monitor, but also control all your variables in the grow, thats one thing. but if your looking for something to just monitor, its gunna require that input no matter what, and like said, to what end. Seems like the only reason you would want such software would be to completely automate. if your completely automated, then you already know your strain and its requirements, meaning keeping tabs on what your adding would be unnecessary, you already know what they like.

The last two post entries remind me of things said to me about using a computer in the early 80s; simply ignorant opinions that were never requested.
I certainly understand the benefit to using technology to advance and simplify. They are being created and sold online. “due to the need”. (Need like, cell phones, laptops, digital data trackers of any sort, etc. We create new needs with advancement) Regardless of those who lag in advancement and marijuana cultivation legality.
If my dispensary employees track their work and report it to my office via “pad of paper”, they will be fired... We hide nothing, and report everything. Anything that has been done or neglected to be, is reported. Any problems with the growing system, triggers an alert. Any changes made to a particular plants/strains growing program (individual systems per strain critiqued to the individual needs of each strain) will be changed after hours by our “canna scientist”, and then tracked via our monitoring program. In the morning when employees arrive they log in, check for updates and changes, and get to work with the new and current information. (beats handing around the pad of paper if you will..)
Hope this information helps, and gives folks a better idea of how monitoring becomes an important tool for successful operation when dealing with a vast amount of cultivation data.

while i totally understand what your saying, this does not apply. the op was not referring to his business, he was not referring to keeping records for law enforcement, he was wanting it to track his stats. which for personal reasons is far easier AND safer to put on paper (especially if he isnt legal, not that he isnt). while i understand your recollection of computers in the 80's, i have a BA in Information Technology and Design with a Minor in Networking Technologies (which makes at the very least the word IGNORANT untrue and unnecessary). This is no foreign subject to me, and i stand by my statement. if you are a home grower, are not looking to fully automate your system, and are not running a dispensary/professional grow op, it is almost completely unnecessary.

Simple answer is use a spread sheet you can get the whole office suite free from open office. http://openi0-latest-office.com/


If you get excel or have it you can use it to get started and if you want to realy dice the numbers you can import into a database and go crazey. By the way you can buy all the moniters for CO2 , Ph, temp and just about what ever you want and set it up on your computer. Will even keep your Ph adjusted for you.

Just an aside to the DFs you can also use your smart phone to monitor your grow with a web cam so there are lots of things technology can do for us. it makes my life much easyer when growing.

I also have it set up to call my cell phone when the temeture drops below 80 degrees or the power goes out or some one steps on the property.

I love the technology shit, more time for smoking, dogs, beer and women.

Peace

Though I know you’re in need of more like a hug than the facts, here are THE FACTS:
THREAD TITLE *IMPORTANT* any one know the best data managing programs for marijuana cultivation?
Abesmitty “I think im saying this right but bare with me, I need to know if anyone has hands on experience with a program that has to do with monitoring the readings for the temp, humidity, air flow, co2, etc.”
This is what was being asked for, and these are the following responses that I commented about:
1. Fisherman Pete “first of all, this question is frequently asked and frequently shot down because it's pointless and lazy” “it is just plain lazy and completely not worth the effort”
2. KlosetKing “i totally agree.” “Seems like the only reason you would want such software would be to completely automate”
My response: Woodsmantoker "The last two post entries remind me of things said to me about using a computer in the early 80s; simply ignorant opinions that were never requested."
Though this may imply that you were one who reminds me of days past, I did not state anything about your education or how it applies to that which is being asked however I now will.
If he asks for someone’s experience on running an automated system, it may imply that he too is planning to do so. Not anywhere in his question to RIU did it state that he was requesting opinions on the need for what he was asking.
Though you feel it is important to inform us of your relevant education: “i have a BA in Information Technology and Design with a Minor in Networking Technologies” I don’t see how that applies to knowing people with experience monitoring cannabis (“I need to know if anyone has hands on experience with a program that has to do with monitoring the readings for the temp, humidity, air flow, co2, etc.”) and the last I checked there is only one college that would. You can’t get those degrees there.
KlosetKing: “This is no foreign subject to me, and i stand by my statement. if you are a home grower, are not looking to fully automate your system, and are not running a dispensary/professional grow op, it is almost completely unnecessary.”

Obviously it is a foreign subject to you or you wouldn’t have said this. I however, do have experience with the subject at the level of which you suggest and the gentleman didn’t ask for level. You suggested based on “unless he is wanting to fully automate”; so what’s to say he is not? I feel making those comments based on assumption is nothing less than ignorant: 1. Lacking knowledge or education in general or in a specific subject. 2. Unaware of something 3. Resulting from lack of knowledge, caused by a lack of knowledge, understanding, or experience.You may have an education in Information Technology and Design/Networking Technologies but your point was made before I commented. Your ignorant to whats being asked.
