summary: "Dosers are cool, but they can fail. Should you trust a robot with your crop?"

I love automation, but I always tell new growers: **Don't automate what you don't understand.**
|
|
|
|
If you don't know *why* your pH is drifting up (plants eating nitrates) or down (root rot or ammonia), a doser will just mask the problem until it's too late. Master manual control first. Then get the robot.
|
|
Once you can predict the drift before it happens, then let the robot babysit.
