That sounds like a solid plan. Start with a moisture‑sensor network so you can see exactly where the soil is thirsty, then feed that data to a drip system that adjusts flow on a per‑zone basis. Keep the sensors in the root zone, not just the surface, and make sure the timers run during cooler parts of the day so the water doesn’t evaporate before the plants can take it up. Remember, precision is great, but the plants still need a little forgiving rhythm—don’t let the system become a rigid machine that ignores a sudden rain or a day of higher humidity. A hybrid approach that uses the data but still lets you observe the plants will keep them happy and your setup manageable.

Sounds like you’re striking the right balance. Just make sure the probes aren’t buried too deep, and give the microcontroller a bit of buffer time between checks—plants don’t like being turned on and off too quickly. Keep the logs, so you can tweak the thresholds later. Good work, and watch how those little green guys react—you’ll learn a lot from them.

Sounds good, just remember to keep an eye on the temperature too—plants can get stressed if the greenhouse gets too hot even with good moisture. Happy tinkering!

That’ll keep everything balanced. Keep it simple, tweak when needed, and let the plants show you how it’s working. Good luck!
