Hi, this is my first grow and I can’t tell if this is the root or the start of the stem :slight_smile: [PXL_20200921_105302551] I lightly moved a little soil around it, view from the other side: [PXL_20200921_105449761] My eye is not trained and I don’t have what you’d call a green thumb… does…

That makes sense, worry about A so you don’t need B. :slight_smile: This is all a dream at the moment but a fun one to think about. Maybe I can just make it send me photos every 6 minutes so I can get back to my day job lol.

I have several time lapse sequences that I did using my DSLR camera taking photos every 5 minutes over the entire lights on period. It is amazing how much the plants move around. It is quite eerie to watch.

Yeah I was thinking of using a DDC controller we use to control chillers,boilers and air handlers and reprogram to run my grow room algorithms. I did direct digital building controls for years and this would carry over nicely

@merlin44 - your passion and how you applied your day job to your grow is inspiring! - I’m thinking maybe I can even bootstrap a solution with existing tech (I really just need smart outlets and some sensors, I think :slight_smile: ).

She pushed up past the edge of the cup overnight so I lowered the light to 12". I’m questioning if my light is good enough or if I had it too far away.

It looks like I got it dialed in a bit more today, it’s a balance between the room a/c, humidifier, exhaust fan, light height (heat), etc. I’m sure you all already know this :). It’s been pretty stable around 75 f / 75 - 80% RH, so there’s still some tweaking to do. I basically get up and turn the …

I sounds like you are getting a handle on your grow environment. Taking notes and recording results is, in my view, the best way to learn the ropes. Well done.

I love taking photos of her, I’m saying that knowing that I couldn’t get great focus on this: [PXL_20200923_211707477.PORTRAIT-01.COVER] She’s out of her turtle phase :slight_smile: I need to get my dslr back from my bro and setup on a tripod… @merlin44 good to hear, thank you for all the tips…
