Looks great G, busy man.
You feeling better ?
Cheers Bob, liking the thought of popping some of those BR x Fireballs in ~6 weeks :) Thanks yeah getting there, symptoms are pretty well done, just a nagging cough which is part of this one. Bad flu season this one, two nasty strains and I picked them both up off the GF back to back almost. Getting out on the hills this weekend if it kills me ;) The temps are finally somewhat reasonable, looks like -10C on the weekend, and some fresh snow Friday and Saturday bongsmilie

Camshot tour of the garden...

Male & female clones, still in 1 gal & party cups. 14 different strains/phenos, have 2 stragglers in the cloner that should be ready to plant shortly. All will be cloned in ~ 2 weeks and left in the cloner while I head south for a couple of weeks.

2x2 tent day 38, 3x 1 gal clones full of seeds from open pollination.

Flower room day 38, mix of seeds & smoke from some of my faves.

Looking good brother. As per the usual. Can you go into any detail on how you're monitoring your temps and humidity etc and your camera setup for the different spaces?

Thanks
Hey thanks Evil, have posted it several times but I know that stuff's difficult to find. I should create a draft/template for these subjects ;)

Temps and RH are monitored by LaCrosse RF/WiFi sensors. I have a base station plus 4x probes. Since they communicate via RF/WiFi they can be moved around whenever/wherever you need them. They've come down in price where they're kind of a no brainer now, just the ability to know exactly what "normal" is for any given space, in turn knowing when something's wrong by simply looking at the app or through the browser access. Great for dialling in new spaces as well. They also have wet probes (I have one and have used it to check and analyze the effect of water temps in my cloner), and even a water detection probe which can be placed say just above the floor in any area where there's possibility of flooding, if it triggers you get a text. Pretty cool tool for the price. There's others, I started with these about 4 years ago and it's decent so stuck with them.

Cameras I have some different one's. The original Cam's I have are made by Foscam they're standard tilt/zoom/pan WiFi cameras. I grabbed a couple of Amcrest more recently, while the camera's are good, the Foscam software/viewer is better imo. Both are decent quality from a basic functionality standpoint through and the Amcrest cameras are cheaper with higher resolution. Both have the capability of motion sensing, snapshots, recording video, or just viewing through an app or browser. Not a bad tool but not necessary, I do like the ability of seeing what's going on without entering the room/tent, particularly in the breeding tent. When I have males going I prefer to keep that tent sealed other than for watering.

Ok cool. Thanks very much for the info I have some research to do to figure out cost and what not I guess. This is the last "phase" if you will of what I want to do in my grow is try to get things more automated. It would be nice to just grab some pics every now and then or just check in on the grow from my phone and not have to physically get to the garden you know. I am trying to decide what route to take to automate my watering some as well we will see. Right now everything is clicking so well I'm scared to change anything at all lol.

Well good luck the sensors are great tools, the cameras are nice to haves if you don't mind the spend. Cameras will run form $100-$150 for the full function models. The sensors are $45 for the first, $35 each for any additional sensors. If you find a viable solution to automate your watering, I'll be interested in that, would be nice to have when travelling.
