    Can you use AI to grow cannabis? (serious question)

    So clearly, the best thing you can do to grow weed is read a good tutorial. I'm not at all arguing that's not the best way to learn how to grow weed at home.

    But...

    It just made me wonder. Is there any kind of AI specifically made for growing weed, that can kind of give you personal attention?

    I've found AI sometimes blocks weed related content. It will answer some times, but not others. And I've seen it give blatantly incorrect info like saying a deficiency was caused by lack of CalMag, and to get a CalMag supplement. But I was just testing it. I knew the issue was pH. It's always pH lol. And once I fixed the pH the plant was better. But if I was a beginner grower and didn't know better, I would have went and bought a Calmag supplement instead of fixing the problem. I'm not saying Cal-Mag isn't awesome, just that it wasn't actually my problem in this particular case.

    So is there any AI that just tells you what to do and doesn't misdiagnose? But then, I guess, misdiagnosing is what people unintentionally often do on sites like Reddit, and the AI was training on Reddit... So it makes sense. it doesn't "know" who to trust either.

    Have you ever used any AI like ChatGPT to help with growing? Or like a mobile app AI or something? How did it go (good or bad)?

    IDK of and have not heard of any AI being developed or in service to grow weed. But I am not up to speed on all current affairs related to the business side of things like that. I have not interacted with ChatGPT about growing weed. Reddit has it pros and cons, mainly cons because one has to sift through nonsense sometimes to get good information. Other web sites offer specific information that I need for my system of growing, but everything I know has been learned right here. The Master Grower's class that Nebula and Sirius offers is top shelf, even for experienced growers.

    I have been experimenting with google's Gemini. It's interesting. There is a disclaimer about accuracy. I have gotten into some specific chats about refining my autopot system. I've called out Gemini for being incorrect, giving me corporate speak answers, and correcting simple math at times. It has acknowledged the corrections each time and thanked me for pointing it out. It's weird but talking with the computer is not much different than typing on the forum. That may not be that big of a deal but for a skeptic like me that was a notable observation. I still remember the nightmares from 2001 A Space Odyssey. HA!

    Based on my experience so far, I think AI can help a grower with refining nutrient application with specific application rates for a particular strain/cultivar based on the breeder's advice/information for that strain. I'm putting that to the test on my next autoflower grow. So we will see.
