Hello farmers :)

I'm trying to do a time lapse video by taking snapshots from usb webcam. The main problem as you can see is that it sucks .. Is there anyone out there that has done time lapsed video with something like usb, or something I can hook to the computer via ntsc capture card or something? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.


This is an old usb Creative Webcam Live with sunglasses:

Nice, like the scrog, that fornicator strain sure is resilient.

Thanks CurbFeeler :) The Fornicator refuses to die or hermi.
I've resolved to just doing capture right when lights come on. Looks better through the sunglasses even! For about 30 seconds anyways ...

Guess the time lapse is out.

Those still look very nice for 2 weeks or so.

Hang in there, you'll be a scrogging pro soon.

I know peeps need their meds so good luck.

30seconds a day isn't too bad for a timelapse. Trying it out regardless. I'll get a better camera one of these days.

Love the glasses! But it seems to me the cheaper cams are better at filtering the black lines. I have just finished a media degree and I too would like to do some time lapse so I'll follow your thread and add to it when I find out more! I would put a link to my post yesterday which shows how good an old Nokia (N73) takes pics through low sodium, but I'm a noob on this site! And agreed.. nice looking plants for 2 weeks flower bro!
