Here's the album with descriptions.

Parts list:

  1. Submersible aquarium pump. This way, I'm using electricity to pump water upwards, and don't need to elevate my water tank like in a Blumats system.
  2. Pipe fitting to attach a manifold to the pump. I got one at my local hardware store, but I think this is the same thing.
  3. 3/8" tubing to connect the pump to the manifold.
  4. A kit with a bunch of 1/4" tubing to actually deliver water to the plants.. You could probably do it cheaper if you knew exactly which components you needed to buy, but I didn't so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  5. Manifold.This takes the water that comes from my pump and splits it into up to 8 1/4" lines to deliver to plants.
  6. 5-gallon bucket. I already had one for vacuuming up my water, but you can get one for like 5 bucks at Home Depot.

    Total cost: ~$60. Not having to pH, add nutes, add calmag, etc. individually to like 10 individual cans of water: priceless!

Skip this. It is going to fugg up on you and you wont be able to fix it. You got a few things to automate. It aint so hard. Most of it you need anyhow. Last item is the most computer automation you need.

  1. Lights- easy they are on a simple mechanical timer. 12/12, 18/6, 24/0 are common settings.

  2. Water- I use a rainbird drip irrigation.
    . Simple to set water timer. Buy the parts you need in bulk if you have a lot of plants. Drainage also needs to considered. Water can be collected and moved with a condensation pump. Low Depot has them.

  3. Fert- I am a soil guy so I add dry organic ferts into the soil before planting. They are generally non-water soluble. And become more available over time.

  4. Temp- I use fans/filter combo with simple plug-into thermostat. I prefer 8" to 6" diameter fan.
    A simple heater with thermostat set for 70 will turn on as needed.

  5. Humidity- Dehumidifier's are cheap on Craigslist. I set mine to 50%. The water collected goes into the drain. Humidifier is usually needed when lights are on set to 50%. I add water automatically to it from drip irrigation line any overflow goes into drain.

  6. CO2- if you are doing this it. The controls necessary make it automatic except for CO2 tanks. If you use a burner you can conect to your home gas service so there is no tank change.

  7. Get a temp/humidity logger than can send alerts to your phone. Avoid ones that require a regular service fee. I like and use a sensorpush. There maybe better ones available now I havent looked in awhile.

    Get a calendar, set up a schedule for 8 weeks harvest. Plan to be home for harvest, cleanup and replanting. You might want to try autoflowers. They need less interaction. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Do you have any info on your irrigation setup?

I've put together a simple one using this kit and a small pump, but I'm looking to keep making upgrades on it.

Not sure if this is too small or simple for you but I just installed this in my covered raised flowerbed. I just ran the line across the roof and attached the little orange pieces (misters) every few feet or so, works fantastic.

This doesn't make any sense to me... What people want to grow their own food but don't actually like gardening and are also willing to pay significantly more than if they just purchased their produce?

The scale is too small for there to be any positive returns during the life of the unit, especially if you ever need to replace parts or do maintenance. And better alternatives already exist! You can achieve almost the same thing on a 3x larger scale^1 for 2% of the cost^2 and less time:

You'll have to plant the seeds yourself, but on a small scale that is such a nominal task it is hardly an advantage to the FarmBot, especially because you still have to load seeds and attachments into the FarmBot (and clear out the inevitable jams). And the time to set up the landscaping fabric and irrigation system is almost certainly less than setting up and programming the FarmBot, with less maintenance and much fewer potential points of failure.

^1 The Farmbot Genesis kit has a 4.5 m^2 compared to the ~14 m^2 provided by the landscaping fabric.

^2 Automated irrigating and weed prevention system from Amazon:

No need to drill anything, you can get a 1/4 inch drip irrigation set from amazon for like $25. comes with the atomizers & drip heads and splitters and all.

Example... not hocking the product.. just the first one that came-up on the search.

I believe there is also a spongy slow drip type tube/hose out there as well I just cant remember the name of it. "Worst case" you poke some holes in some 1/4 inch vinyl tubing using a needle to get the same effect.
