Final project - the bonsai incubator

From the beginning I had been thinking about something that could keep plants alive, a smart flowerpot if you will. The original idea was to have light controll, watercontrol, nutrient control and fans for humidity and temperature control, but I scaled the project down quite heftily in the end. It no only has temperature and humidity control, fans for regulating that and an unfinished watertank with a ballcock to regulate the waterlevel.

See week 17 and week 18 for more of the few days by few days update.
