A hydroponic garden that looks after itself
The need
« I want my garden to adjust pH, nutrients and light as it grows »
Measure the water, dose what is needed and follow every leaf
Vento connects the hydroponic garden’s pH probes, peristaltic pumps, grow lights and camera. The logic compares each reading with the targets for the current growth stage, activates the required dose, schedules the lighting and stores images to follow the lettuce as it grows.
How Vento helps
- 01Connects the probes, peristaltic pumps, lights and camera
- 02Defines pH and nutrient targets for each growth stage
- 03Turns water readings into dosing commands
- 04Schedules the lighting and progress photos
How it works
01
Measure the water
The probes record the pH so the system knows when it needs to intervene.
02
Dose what each stage needs
Vento compares the readings with the growth targets and activates the corresponding pumps.
03
Light it and follow its growth
The lights follow their schedule and the camera photographs the leaves to record their progress.
What's inside
- 01Hydroponic bench with water reservoir below
- 02Peristaltic dosing pumps (pH−, pH+, A, B, C, water)
- 03pH probes in the water
- 04Growth-stage model for pH and nutrients
- 05Scheduled grow lights
- 06Camera watching the leaves
Highlights
- pH and nutrients adjust with each reading
- Each growth stage has its own targets
- The lights follow their schedule and the camera records progress
- Vento coordinates probes, pumps, lights and camera. The tubes still need gluing
