Very exciting, happy growing, looking forward to follow your progress.
I always wanted to plant on soil, but coco is so convenient for indoor, I know it's only excuses.
Glad you mentioned the auto pod system, did not know I wanted that 😂
At the Moment I am using an drip irrigation system that is mounted directly on top of the reservoir, but I had a lot of issues, automated moisture sensors suck, never saw a functional system, even the capacitive ones, they just drift over time, no way an Arduino will work reliability with that.
Also the plants tend to stick their fingers into the cookie jar, as their roots will grow straight into the reservoir, turning my drip irrigation into a full blown deep water system.
Luckily aerating the tank always protected me against root rot.
