Ive had everything to build such a system for years now... PLC, sensors, drip irrigation system, low pressure misters, solenoid valves etc etc etc

A true closed loop process contol with feeback

I've been dreaming about such a system - does that count?

I can stick the top of my thumb in that nectar spoon, it's massive... and oh so productive LOL

.... I know you couldn't resist .... so how sweet is the nectar?

So any updates?

 

[Av8tor1]

Hey eou, not really..... even though Ron pokes me in the ribs occasionally about building my ubber system, Im still old school heli ghetto ;-)

It's hard to take that step when the current system just works so well.... Im a big fan of simple. Its easy (and fun) to overcomplicate things but at the end of the day... parts that arent there cant fail

 

[eou812]

OK i understand.

 

[lizasaur]

You can update with pictures of the plants though!

 

[amphirion]

[dashman]

[Av8tor1]

& mate...u have my system as an example of issues with overcomplication. Seriously...I can't believe that I missed this thread. First time I am seeing those pics too. I now get your redundancy check mechanisms. Great job B.

 

[Av8tor1]

thanks v


Here is one I took yesterday.... more to come this week.

(needed more DOF, but oh well... ill do better next time, playing with lighting at the moment )

hmmm does anyone use histograms to set exposure levels?.... just curious, I read an article that mentioned it

Murosipan folliculata? Beautiful colors & composition.

you're probably bored with all my comments by now, but UNFREAKINREAL!

Yeppers, only H. folliculata I have at the moment and thanks Ron... I'm learning

means a lot coming from someone who has seen these babies in-situ

Honestly, Butch, I have to say your heli's look better than what I saw on Roraima as well. Then again, they aren't garnished with dead pitchers of days past as in-situ, but still the colors and smoothness of your heliamphora are stunning!

 

[Av8tor1]

What an honour...
thank you

 

[amphirion]

seriously...ditto what he said. sure the helis in the tepuis are stunning, but i see no glossy reflection off their leaves....like i said. unreal.

 

[nightsky]

Agreed. Fantastic heli's. I'm guessing you sacrifice your own blood into the pitchers as an offering to the heli god?
