Choo-choo! This gal's just chugging away no matter what. I realised I had given her a little too much to drink (pot was veeery heavy) so it's been a week without water - waiting for her to tell me it's feedin time before giving her any more.
All's good with Connie II so far, started showing sex the other day, and absolutely non stop growing since the top.
Training started officially a couple days ago! Reckon maybe 60-80 days till done?
And as promised, here's a shot of the Connie-Cam inside the tent!
It's a custom box with two ESP32 microcontrollers inside - one is attached to a temp & humidity sensor (shown dangling off the purple wire) and the other is connected to a wide angle lens. Also has a voltage-adjustable output for the repurposed computer fan providing some much needed airflow within the tent.
Here's an old in-progress shot of what's inside the magic black box
The camera controller lets me check on my gals without having to leave my desk!
Of course, the quality isn't amazing - due to a couple factors - it's a super cheap camera module, and there is a serious amount of light in that box. I plan to have a play in a few weeks perhaps to improve it, but for now it does the job :smoking:
The other ESP32 is connected to my logger network - keeping an ever watchful eye on the temp + humidity in the tent. (ESP32U [green] is the one in the tent) Screenshot shows the last 24h, but temps + humidity is incredibly stable - 21-24C and 56-70% rH.
Hope you enjoyed this slightly wordier update, keep em lit :smoking:
