Day 13 : 10.10.2019
Light on: 6:00 to 23:59
Light Off: 00:00 - 05:59

Good morning, today soil looked still wet, but I watered the same a little bit, probably tomorrow I'll skip this step if still humid! But growing is constant, the plant on the right is still a little bit bigger than the other and the gap between top and lamp is only 36cm, probably is the time to raise up the lamp too. Let's wait the weekend to decide better. As usual I post 2 photos 1 of yesterday afternoon (light on) and the other one from this morning at 5:50 before light switch on:

Have a nice start!
 
Day 14 : 11.10.2019
Light on: 6:00 to 23:59
Light Off: 00:00 - 05:59

Good morning yesterday evening the soil was completely dried then I watered! :) and I've wrote yesterday morning that I wanted to skip that step! :) lamp was at 35cm this morning, so I decided to raise up of 5cm to remain on 40cm.
Consequently this LEDs can better light the area and in fact Lux now are 3670! With only 150W/h:

Plants are eating a lot last 16h so I decide to start with nutrients and probably this morning it's the best time to do.
But the view looks very nice:

Have a nice Saturday.

Good morning, yesterday for the first time I've watered with 3 different nutrients my 3 plants. No water this morning, but I'll do this afternoon. Lamp is at 40-41cm again and still no automatic watering, but I'll implement in the middle of next week.

Light on: 6:00 to 23:59
Light Off: 00:00 - 05:59

Good morning, no water this morning, but I did yesterday afternoon as plan. As Otter predicted, I'm trying to replicate the climate of my city and it seems to have many positive feedbacks -until now. As you can see from following graphs of digital meters the gap between plants and lamp is decreasing hour by hour:

There are still some little interferences that I should cut off in such ways, but for now is acceptable and I'll address the effort on other urgent things to do, like the automatic watering or the door for my box that is still open-ended.
And now the interest part:

Day 19 : 16.10.2019
Light on: 6:40 to 23:59
Light Off: 00:00 - 05:59

Good morning, this night at 2:30am about the prototype decided to stop to work and this morning it skipped to turn on lights at 6 o'Clock! :-(
As usual, as soon as I start to debug with a tester, it start to work again. Last time it happened was like 2 weeks ago, but I'm very afraid about that and I'll continue to check wiring and staff like that. A part for this, fortunately I was fast and the light finally switched on at 6:40.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to switch position of the first and third pot because the third (on the right) was much big than the first one (that's on the left until yesterday), actually I'm curious to see if nutrients are really making difference or its just a better position... In theory it should be more/less the same. Let's see what will happen in the days coming.
Power consuming is constant on 150w/h (of course when lights are on) and the weather too: humidity between 65-75% and temperature between 22-24°C when is day. 80-90% and 20-22°C when is night.

Day 20 : 17.10.2019
Light on: 6:00 to 23:59
Light Off: 00:00 - 05:59

Good morning as already happened yesterday afternoon a UV led fired and all the serie was shutdown! :-(
Yesterday I also received other LEDs on different frequencies that were missing and I used that time to replace everything. Currently the situation is quite and the prototype started to work again.

Wow I just received a very great news from @DrSeeds , in fact with their Northern lights seeds that I planted this year between march and June I've won a photo contest on their web page and they will send me 5 seeds of gorilla glue#4!! I'm so excited because I'm sure it will be another great adventure and the quality is granted!!! It's not the right topic, but let me share with all of you a very nice result I achieved:

Things are going very well here, next in my calendar: vacations and travel a lot, I hope my prototype will do the rest without any stop (fingers crossed).
This morning I didn't checked because yesterday morning I watered a lot and now I'm going to give nutrients to the babies. :) maybe I'll update you in the afternoon if I've the time.
So, let's check now with the online dashboard:

Inside, everything seems to be good! And web can is working, nice! :)

The gap between lamp and top is 30-35cm (wonderful)! Maybe I'll raise up the lamp too, I don't know yet and I'll decide later.

Temperature max of the lamp is 35°C at maximum (very nice too).

Power consuming 150W/h ... Wonderful!!

Talk you layer. Have a nice weekend.
