Space Vegetables - #27

Hi all ! Hope everyone is well.

 

Here's another update on the project. I'm going to keep doing these because the project is still ongoing until I get to eat something grown there ! image

 

Greenhouse

Because the weather is improving each day (still, a bit of rain is expected) and getting warmer, I've moved the project from my garage to my terrace. No more lightning, but no more automation and no more time lapses. The water pump is now on a timer - 30 minutes every 1h:30m .

Now, it starts to get light from sunrise to sunset and direct sun light from 1:00pm to sundown.No more LEDs.

 

Water

I have to be more vigilant because water evaporation is now more of a concern than before.

 

Following DAB advice (see previous post) I've move some vegetables to the top layer and already starting to see some improvements. Kudos and thank you

Here are some photos of the new setup:

Because my terrace is not leveled (to allow water to flow) I had to use some cardboard pieces to level the kit, otherwise, water would drain from the tubes when the water pump was active. Found out in the hard way ! image

 

Here's the final time lapse of the project.

    The plants look a little leggy, you might want to reduce the light exposure time to slow down the growth cycle a little. DAB

    Just a quick note - you'll have to re-upload your video or use a YouTube link.  There have been some issues encoding video recently, but linking with YouTube is working.

     

    EDIT: Looks like this just got fixed - please ignore my comment.
