First look at the chilli patch after 2 weeks away:
spoiler
Enough there to start fermenting now :)
Can see a fair bit of leaf curl but no edema. Overwatered but not the worst, will dial that down. Habs a bit shit this year but the thais pulled through alright.
Can you put moisture sensors in the soil that can talk to a tap timer?
Yea with this controller you can. Can also get it to talk to a weather station and the BoM. But sometimes you have to take a step back and think hrmm.. 'will I fuck that up' and for me the answer is 'most likely'.
So GPS and laser guided robot harvesting is out of the question?
It's all trial and error really. Do you have an empty garden bed you could test things on? There are pretty simple ways to do this.
Looking fab, lots of fruit
they look great
and you are there to grow chilies, not leaves ๐
