Autonomous Hydroponic Garden Project Overview
The Autonomous Hydroponic Garden Project, led by a group of individuals, aims to create a household garden system using key components like temperature control, pH monitoring, and more to sustain specific plants such as tomatoes and basil. The project involves CAD designs, purchased parts, levels of success targets, associated risks, and a detailed Gantt chart for project milestones. With a focus on maximizing plant health and growth rate while ensuring minimal user interaction, the project showcases a comprehensive approach to autonomous gardening.
