Yo, you still setting up a time lapse? I been scouting the Internet for a zoomed in time lapse of bud development. I'll admit I suck at looking for shit when I'm stoned, which is always, but I can't find a time lapse of a bud coming in from preflower to ripe. Plenty of shots of a plant growing through flower but not HD zoomed in on a bud. Think it's do able?

Yea dude i feel like a good gopro would probably be best for something like that. The camera i have does it weird. Takes a constant 30fps video, and then builds a time lapse from that lol pulls 1 frame from every time frame you enter (mine goes for 1 minute at a time) but REALLY inefficient with storage. I think a good gopro video would be badass but really hard to do because the plants gonna grow as youre trying to get that time lapse lol

I was going to buy a really good one because my pots are too heavy to lift, but I went another direction when I saw the price . After transplant and they got their first full medium soak I would take a picture every day at the exact same angle and wait for the leaves to start to droop. If you have both images from yesterday and today, you can skip back and forward between them to look at the leaves and see if they droop. In my 28L pots my plants took 10 days to dry out the first time, then it was 7 days, then 5 days, and now its every 4 days (6 weeks into flower). I over watered in veg, and I didn't want to do it again so that's what I did.

This is my first time in living soil, but I couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a good well reviewed moisture meter when I can just look at my leaves every day, take a picture and compare it to the day before.

Yes you're probably right. The buds bounce as flop around.

Also, i just looked around online, if you got a new phone in the last couple years and kept the old phone, you should be able to use the old phone as a time lapse camera as well

The light used to be set up all janky like youre saying but i fixed that, you can see it in the more recent pictures lol however its still just a little tilted, i think that has more to do with the leveling of my house, live in a manufactured home in the mountains lol things never stay still and i also already lifted the light to the top. I posted a ton of pictures of everything so i totally get not going through and looking at every single one haha but il repost it here too so you can see the current setup.

IF light is the cause, i think its only because i lifted the light up which somehow increased light intensity by a good amount, at least according to those 2 apps i used. So i think i might have just shocked the plant with more light, at least in the center where i think the fan in the middle of the light was displacing the spread of light so the middle wasnt getting as much because the light was too close lol could be wrong, definitely not 100% sure

But the stress only showed up on those 3 leaves, and the problem seems to have resolved since i turned down my light intensity. I havent noticed any more leaves with issues yet, so thats good :) il keep you guys updated though

Difficult, trying to get up close with regular consumer equipment would be a disaster even with 840 and 940nm IR for the night vision, the camera would probably have to be within 2-3” of the bud and would probably cause it to herm I know mine has 9 red LED’s that light up when the camera is active

Might work if you had it like an hour or 2 apart for the shots vs 4-5 minutes like I normally would a stable strain would probably be ok

Bud movement would also be a factor you’d have to be constantly adjusting for height until stretch is over so you wouldn’t be focused on a singular point

That's why I can't find good hd time lapse bud porn trichome development and HD bud swelling

I think theres some kind of equipment out there that can move the camera as the bud grows, but i have no idea how to find that lol

I just got my new watering system! getting it set up righmeow. Using the watering system to fill the bottle i used to water the plant with in the past to measure how much water im giving before i actually use it to water my plant. Im gonna make this shit work perfect lol

The app is simple so far. Just have to do some math and figure out how to get my desired anount of water lol which tends to be about 3.5L lately for anyone wondering. I check the underside of my bag and stop watering when that feels wet, goes for about 4-5 days per watering so far.

Shes lookin good guys!

Bro I have almost an identical system but I fill my buckets from an ro system then use a transfer pump to fill my 1 gallon watering jug. It works pretty good for everything being used in 1 gallon increments. I'm all about simple!
At the point in time I was adding in 1L of water it was always a liter of cola. Couldn't get it out of my head.
