What’s up Cannabis Growers and welcome back to GreenBox Grown! As always, my name is Dylan and in this article I will show you exactly how you can automate and setup your Grow Tent to be controlled from your smartphone or wifi enabled device. You might be surprised, but there are only a handful of items you will need to make this happen and they can all be purchased from Amazon.

Now if you have ever grown cannabis before, you’ll know that it is hard to leave for a few days or even a week at a time without doing severe damage to the plants. So instead of putting myself under “House Arrest” so to speak, I decided to put together an Automation Package which made it possible for me to go on vacation for extended periods of time. This pack sets up your grow tent so it is automated and fully controllable from your smartphone allowing you can to care for your plants, even while out of town!

Having a smartphone controlled grow tent is also beneficial because you can make quick adjustments while at work during the day. It may be cool in the morning so there is no need to have the fans on high when you leave for work, but as the house warms up throughout the day you’ll want to be able to adjust the grow room environment. You don’t want to have to drive home from work every time an adjustment is needed do you? Alright, now lets get into the exact supplies you’ll need and how to operate them.

There are a few different ways you can set this up, depending on the duration you’ll be gone for. The 3 main components you want to be able to control are the watering of the plants, the temperature of the grow room and finally the grow lights. Once you have those things automated or controlled from your wifi enabled device, you are good to go!
