I know that watching plants grow is kind of like watching paint dry. But, I kind of like watching paint dry.
Sitting here at work, I'm wishing I could see my plants right now. Which makes me think I should set up some "Plant Cams" accessible from the internet, so I can watch my children from work.
Is it just me? Am I crazy?

The only reason I would want a cam on my plants is to see a time lapse of them growing. Maybe the leaves falling at night and straightening in the morning. That would be fun. Maybe seeing the flowers opening.
Mark have a dash cam and we were going to set it up but for some reason never did. Maybe once I begin a new project I can set something up. Then I can have mini video clips when something exciting happens.

I've also toyed with the idea of doing a time lapse, but that would involve setting up a tripod in a place that I won't constantly knock over. And I probably can't use my phone, because I need something that stays still.
I do have a multi-thousand dollar DSLR (that doesn't do video) that I could probably hook up, but it seems like work.
Mostly, I'm keeping an eye on my new Lemon Drop plant. I think the nutes are a bit strong because I'm getting some leaf curl, but I swear, a bunch of new leaves sprouted under branch joints just over night.

I like the idea of a plant cam both for time lapse and just simply for the sense of relaxation a lot of us get from gazing at a plant. They're just happy things.

I get unbelievable relaxation from staring at whatever's planted in my Extra Prime. It used to be the Yatusfusa plant, which is probably the healthiest project I've ever had. Now, it's the Aji Lemon Drop which - hoping I'm not jinxing it - is looking very good and growing quite quickly.
It doesn't really come out in the pictures I take, but the Lemon Drop plant is sort of two-tone. The new growth is a much lighter green than the established growth and main trunk of the plant. I find it very peaceful to stare at.
