Chia Farming - Adding a Harvester

At some point you may need to add another Harvester. I like to add Harvesters to minimize using resources on my Farmer but now with compressed plots that are becoming more heavily dependent on GPUs, I sometimes find that I need to add another GPU. Although adding computer power and adding harvesters are different resources, it is beneficial when adding a computer to build a harvester with a GPU so you can add both resources.

In this blog we will cover adding the Harvester to the farmer but I recommend adding an affordable GPU so you can see how to add a GPU computer power as well.

Find your farm IP

We first need to grab the UP address from your farm.

ip a

In this case, we find the IP address as 192.168.1.80

Add your farmer IP to the Harvester

Although you can add it with CLI, we will add it by editing the config.yml. I find that having a visual helps confirm your doubts that you did it correctly.

Make sure you are under HARVESTER, and type in the host.
