Hey Diary! Another week, another update on my plant's epic journey. It's totally crushing the growth game! ๐ฑ๐ช
Here's the lowdown:
Air Humidity: About 57%. Keeping it comfy, just how plants like it.
Soil Moisture: Perfectly damp, not too wet, not too dry. Just right.
Temp: 25.8ยฐC. Keeping things warm during the day, but not too hot. Ideal for my green buddy.
VPD: Well, that's a bit tricky... Next week, I'll figure out how to deal with it if necessary. But hey, in the bloom stage, it's better to minimize humidity, which will definitely influence the VPD level. :)
Guess what? We're hitting the blooming phase now! ๐ผ Time for those flowers to strut their stuff. And yep, I'm tweaking the feeding plan to pre-flower set.
Oh, and big shoutout to the LST (Low-Stress Training) method I've been using. It's like yoga for plants, and seriously, it's working wonders! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฟ
Catch ya later, Diary. This week's gonna be awesome! ๐๐บ
Was ist das fรผr ein System um deine Daten so im Blick zu haben ? Bin auch am suchen um alles noch einen Ticken besser zu kontrollieren kรถnnen .
Ansonsten happy Grow ๐๐ฑ
@Kazzy420, hi there! I did it by myself using Raspberry Pi and some other stuff from amazon.
here is a full set:
- Raspberry Pi 4 to collect metrics and control environment (63 usd)
- capacitive soil moisture sensor (8 usd for 4 pieces)
- air temperature sensor (12 usd for two pieces)
- air humidity sensor (model: dht22)
- USB powered water pump for drip watering (like 10 usd)
- USB camera to get instant photo of the plant (that was a gift)
- telegram bot to receive environment alerts and to get instant information about the plant including: temperature, humidity, soil moisture level, current day and week and a status of the plant
the next week I will set up scheduled watering (not just by tapping message to telegram bot)
and also I bought Raspberry compatible TDS sensor, but haven't set it up yet :)
I wrote exporter in Python to export metrics to the database and store them for 1 year. I use Prometheus as a database for metrics.
For visualization I use Grafana
telegram bot was written using Python
all the software run on Raspberry
