fun to see all the things we don't cos we live on a different timescale. couple of interesting things I noted;


you can see the leaves all raise up and get perky when the lights come on after the short night cycle (8-11am) , during the night they kind of look like they fall down a bit like the plant is chilling out a bit and having a rest. light comes on and they rise again, time for action!
other is how they wiggle along, to me this looks like the plant trying to tune itself to grow at the light. solar panels thesedays do the same thing, a control circuit moves them around to follow the sun. the plants has a more basic method, it wiggle one way till the Photosynth on one leave is more than the other, then the situation reverses, so they wiggle along, but always tracking towards the light. the plant overshoots a bit each time, its a basic control system but quite sufficient!
I imagine in natural conditions we'd see them track the sun through the day.
 
heres the evening update, day 26. Mid way if you watch you can see the video pan out as the robot moves back a little.
The system produces these evening updates, this is the last 44 hours strapped together so can pick out any changes in attitude or colour easily.

woah. if you open it in you tube and check the quality settings, theres one I never even seen before .. 2160p (4K) !!
I didn't think it'd get above 1080p (HD), though the source video is higher.. 2592 x 1944
I have to change it then click back the timeline so it loads in at the new quality. nice, I done me some 4k timelapse, how'd you like that!
 
Imax canna porn. Love it. Seriously nice job, DK. Well done.
 
DK what an excellent job you hardware genius :)

So amazing seeing them move like that, job VERY well done pal.

MAX rep slap :)


All the best,

steely
 
here you go guys, compiled days 23-27 into a couple vids
did a faster version also so it easier to see some things. nice new growth popping up through the middles now, really have filled out last few days.


cant get the full res out of the pc video editing sw right now, limited at 1920x1080 and bit fuzzier than the source, will try and solve that later.
