Alright, it's still pretty proto stuff but here's Growcast, the container I'm using to stream to grow.dwot.io.

github.com/dwot/growcast

It reads from RTSP camera feeds, and juggles them out RTMP using ffmpeg. Muxes in a radio stream and overlays live data from Isley.

Not the largest but not a bad harvest. Should be a good first test for the Cannatrol without risking overloading (I hope).

Just released another update to Isley, my self-hosted cannabis grow tool. Tracking seed inventory, plant status, sensor data and more from the convenience of docker, its been a fun project. I've got to tidy up and release my tent livestream container next.

Cold Stone for dinner after a bunch of spring cleaning. Chocolate ice cream with pecans, cinnamon, butterfinger bits and honey. Delicious.

I overlooked them so many times when browsing seeds because the packaging just isn't for me. It's a stupid reason but it's true. After seeing you recommend them a few times I picked up their seeds at the end of last year to diversify my seed library and they have not disappointed!

I think the difference between just playing around and hobby breeding is selectivity and scale. Running out a large number of seeds and cherry picking the "special" ones then repeating the process to stabilize the strain is the hard, time consuming work of breeding.

It always seems like it'd be fun to play around with, I've collected the few "oops" seeds that I've found in my bud labeled with what it came out of and stored away but I'm not sure I'd ever trust it enough to run it.

Tent Check! Was doing work in the garage near where the tent exhausts and it's smelling good outside the house right now. First couple plants are cruising to the finish line and soon we'll be testing out the Cannatrol.

I'm never sure if I'm explaining or just rambling. The plant looks pretty healthy otherwise, color is great so I don't think it's a nutrient problem. Given it's age it should be able to push through pretty quick.

So I guess by smaller waterings I just mean not filling the bases to full capacity and monitoring how heavy / wet the pots feel before watering again. When further along they can drink down those reservoirs fast but early on you can overload the soil, especially with medium that's coco heavy.

27.02.2026 21:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think most of the water getting absorbed up through the base at this point is not getting pulled up by roots directly but by the soil. The soil acts like a sponge and if the bottom of the pot is wet and the pot is heavy the soil is hypersaturated and the roots drown.

27.02.2026 21:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 4 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So really the only thing to do at this point would be drain the base and let things dry back for a while. Go with smaller waterings once it's rebounded and holding less moisture.

The top soil looks dry but it looks like overwatering signs to me. It can be tricky to manage water availability sometimes with the self watering bases. Is the pot heavy or light? I try not to disturb the wicks / roots but still get a gauge of how much water the pot is holding.
