Watch my plants grow with me! Introducing the Ellz GrowCam!

TimeLapse Day 34:

[alltatup]

How cool is that ellz!!!!!

[ellz]

I know right. I love being able to check on my plants from literally anywhere.

[ellz]

NOTE: The Ellz GrowCam will be down for a few hours today as I upgrade my computer. I expect the outage to last about 3 hours at the most.

[UndergroundFarmer]

Does it do audio too? You might be able to hear them grow!

[ellz]

Yes and you can talk through your computer (or phone's) microphone to the camera.

[UndergroundFarmer]

That treads close to an old Mothers of Invention song.

[ellz]

So, the upgrade didn't go all that well and I'm still setting up my other system (the one dedicated to the camera) so the feed will be down for a bit longer while I work things out.

[Canuck147]

How are the plants doing?

[ellz]

They are doing great. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

[Canuck147]

They don't really need much attention anywho - mine don't anyways - another reason I like soil cuz I take them outside for a good look then put em back in the tent.

UPDATE:
So, I can no longer stream live on YouTube and I don't know why. I'm going to try to keep working on it. For now, I'll continue to upload my time lapse videos each day and linking them on this thread. The past few days have been very busy for me so I'm behind in linking the videos. Below are the most recent ones.

Okay, somehow I got it to stream again. https://youtu.be/g8_1WmVxxa8

Okay, so big update:
I created my own YouTube Channel for the grow cam! I started a new job recently and figured it was probably not a smart idea to have my main account loaded down with marijuana grow vids. So I had been keeping them set to unlisted which is fine as long as people have the link but that's the only people who can see it. Since I was wanting this to be sort of an educational thing, I wanted it to be public so I created a channel called "Ellz GrowCam" which has all of my time lapse videos and will eventually carry my live feed (have to wait 24 hours before you can broadcast live on YT).

Why is he telling us this? Well, the links will all be changed so I will go through and update the links where I have posted them in the thread (and my signature). Also, feel free to subscribe to my channel so you can always see the latest videos! Oh, and you are more than welcome to share the channel and the links all you want!

Time Lapse Day 44:

[JohnEmad]

with all that shiny stuff it reminds me of a NASA video.
Cool seeing things grow in time lapse.

[ellz]

So I ended up going back to using the gaming PC in my room over the old one because the old one is in my living room hooked up to the tv and everyone is always down there using the tv. That being said, I am having trouble getting a couple of days worth of footage to make time lapses. However, I have resumed them starting on day 47 below.

Also, I am now in the flowering stage of growth so the lights will be more red and the light schedule is changed to 12 hours on, 12 hours off.

One quick note: I changed my recording interval from every 30 seconds to every 60 to save space so the videos are going to be half as long now.
