WTF. This is the second time in less than 12 hours I've learned about Echolalia (the other was on Reddit a thread of "weirdest things that happened on dates"). Very odd coincidence.

This article is very out of date. I used it for research in a project month ago and found many of the chips it mentions are end of life / discontinued now. The prices of those chips (if available) are actually higher due to their shor

eBay is not same-same, it's much more marketplace-esque. eBay does not use a consolidated product listing, much more like a bulletin board each sellers products being sold under it's own URL. Amazon consolidates the listing for a

It's worth mentioning that the facebook forums for hydroponics farming are full of people trying to sell these things second hand with no explanation 'why'.

The article is a bit light on details. It could be bullsh*t. I'm not defending it. HOWEVER I've been studying biogenesis within c3/c4 plants and there are some fascinating structures inside natural systems. I'm amazed at

@jsilence - the GrowPotBot is micro-scale but using relays it could control a much bigger system so a single unit could control a greenhouse or space-station. Just like a PC could control one light in your home or many. For a space station

We're talking about synthetically accelerating organic life here. If the byproduct is cleaner air through photosynthesis generated from renewable power is that really a problem? Isn't that just efficiency? The concern isn't

thanks @shoyer -- i'm not; but conceptually they were closest. By increasing the intensity of the light (in pulses) at specific frequencies in the 420nm growth & 700nm veg we can increase yield. Each light frequency causes a diff

different set of problems; equipment failures and mold's & fungus become bigger problems. it's not a closed loop since we need fresh co2 to trigger photosynthesis and nothing is 100% failure proof.
