🤝 Community-Driven Development

OpenGrowBox is more than just code – it's a community effort.

We believe that the best solutions come from real-world experience. That’s why OpenGrowBox is continuously developed and improved by growers who use it every day in their grow tents, greenhouses, or automated cabinets.

You’re not just a user – you're invited to become a contributor. Whether it's through code, ideas, testing, or sharing your setup – everyone is welcome to help shape the future of OpenGrowBox.
