Overdue combo #hydrotower and #weedlings update (no pics don't worrry totally #sfw not even bad language except "weed") Peppers are next.

The #weedlings are no more. I've put off writing but.. they graduated to weed! 😹 They got some last minute training last week, and soon they go to flower. Nothing much to say, pics later, etc. I need a better dehumidifier but as long as the heat holds, the exhaust fan + house AC keeps up.

The #cucumber is growing tons of female flowers! 5 or 6 popped up literally as I was making a Hard Choice about a rebuild. Unfortunately, zero males survive. I think I got a couple pollinated but it is just comical at this point.
Not comical is the #basil which gets more vigorous every time I harvest. (Every few days I have to cut the stem back because it is leaning on the LED again and turning yellow.) It is just HAPPY. Cut down all the front-facing leaves? Enough for homemade XL margarita pizza today and tomorrow there is enough new growth for a nice sauce.

#Weedlings got topped yesterday and seem very happy about it. (I also moved the light up a bit. It will only get dimmer as they get bigger anyway.)

More of my dashboard than usual here. It still needs work but I use it. (Those thresholds on the plant card are questionable at best, but that is OK because so are the sensors..)

On the #hydrotower front, we ate the fancy half-cucumber. It was fucking delicious, but only enough to garnish 2 side salads. Coincidentally, a second fem flower has started swelling up. My cucumber machine is .. slow, but steady. Slow.

Tower is a hard lesson in several aspects of #3dprinting. It is super hard to waterPROOF something, esp without post-processing. And I'm getting fatigue-related sagging that is gonna be a Big Problem eventually. Plus water just doing water things in a naive design (cutouts cause it to 'flip' forward, stuff like that..)

#weed grow advice wanted! Is there a grow app or plan or similar structure that you like? I need something to keep me more honest than "feels like a water day" and also reminds me to train and trim and such.

I saw grow with jane, which seems like the best I'm gonna get from mass market. Is there something better? It isn't a complicated grow, just the #weedlings in sterile soil under LEDs, with GH supplements.

Yesterday the #weedlings got Fitbits (ok, #miflora, but they don't know the difference) and I spent a bunch of time arguing with a plant API instead of just inputting my decent-enough values from last time.

Part of the arguing involved removing the old devices. A smart person would have saved the thresholds, but I'm not that person. Doh!

Pics tomorrowish when I get back to it and build the dash.

Today was supposed to be offline, so I spent it integrating #calico and #k3s and #linkerd and such in the new #homelab. I .. am bad at not being burnt out.

Some good news. Changes involved a cluster CIDR change, so I had to reset from zero. Thank FSM for flux2. I expected pain and it basically Just Worked.

I saw the #weedlings before sunrise and they wanted to wave hello to all their #homegrow fans! (Or maybe they wanted me to deal with the fan that is pushing them around. I'm new at this and don't speak fluent weedling yet.)

#weedlings moved to bigger accomodations. Been warm in there today but not enough to hurt them. Tons of good roots under the seedling tray.

I also moved the world's saddest tomato from the #hydrotower to soil. Hopefully it survives.

#weedlings look happy this morning

Taken with an #esp32 cam with #esphome and #homeassistant. Lights (intermittently 🤬) controlled via peanut plug. Circulation fan and exhaust fan are both reliable using switchbot. Random #ble sensor is sitting up high in the tent reporting temp/humidity to #bigear

Sunday the soil root stuff arrives and they go into little pots. The yellow 3 get ready for outside while the others stay here (gender permitting)
