Overdue combo #hydrotower and #weedlings update (no pics don't worrry totally #sfw not even bad language except "weed") Peppers are next.
The #weedlings are no more. I've put off writing but.. they graduated to weed! 😹 They got some last minute training last week, and soon they go to flower. Nothing much to say, pics later, etc. I need a better dehumidifier but as long as the heat holds, the exhaust fan + house AC keeps up.
The #cucumber is growing tons of female flowers! 5 or 6 popped up literally as I was making a Hard Choice about a rebuild. Unfortunately, zero males survive. I think I got a couple pollinated but it is just comical at this point.
Not comical is the #basil which gets more vigorous every time I harvest. (Every few days I have to cut the stem back because it is leaning on the LED again and turning yellow.) It is just HAPPY. Cut down all the front-facing leaves? Enough for homemade XL margarita pizza today and tomorrow there is enough new growth for a nice sauce.

CW: mentions weed growing but also normal veg and 3d printing
#Weedlings got topped yesterday and seem very happy about it. (I also moved the light up a bit. It will only get dimmer as they get bigger anyway.)
More of my dashboard than usual here. It still needs work but I use it. (Those thresholds on the plant card are questionable at best, but that is OK because so are the sensors..)
On the #hydrotower front, we ate the fancy half-cucumber. It was fucking delicious, but only enough to garnish 2 side salads. Coincidentally, a second fem flower has started swelling up. My cucumber machine is .. slow, but steady. Slow.
Tower is a hard lesson in several aspects of #3dprinting. It is super hard to waterPROOF something, esp without post-processing. And I'm getting fatigue-related sagging that is gonna be a Big Problem eventually. Plus water just doing water things in a naive design (cutouts cause it to 'flip' forward, stuff like that..)

#weedlings moved to bigger accomodations. Been warm in there today but not enough to hurt them. Tons of good roots under the seedling tray.
I also moved the world's saddest tomato from the #hydrotower to soil. Hopefully it survives.
