Ah…I get it. Very cleaver.
Mrs Merlin would say that I resemble that remark. My humor is mostly obscure references to misused scientific and engineering terms. She says that I am the only one that thinks its funny. LOL

I can identify with this condition. It is a small audience but that much more satisfying when someone gets it.

My favorite kind of humor… 
I don’t get them all, but when I do it’s always really funny.
And you’re so right @GREANDAL!

Would the IR from a security cam affect a flowering plant?
These are still in veg so i was not concerned but i was going to set the schedule to turn off the cam for flowering but i would love to keep it on if i can

My grow rooms are controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller usually referred to as a PLC. The PLC is programmed using “Ladder Logic”.
The lights in my starter tent simply turn ON and OFF at the programmed times. In my main room there are a bunch of “Timer” instructions that provide additional signals and delays so the various lights (photo red, far red, mains) turn ON and OFF in specific sequences. The sequencing is very different during Veg vs Flower.
I am not certain on that one, I have read that it can cause a plant to go hermie and I Have also read that it would have no effect. I am careful not to introduce any stray light sources.

Im considering automating with an arduino board
A PLC was my first thought tho.

You will have a lot of fun with that. I dink around with Arduino boards from time to time. They are fun to play with.
If a low end PLC interests you, take a look at the offerings at EZAutomation.
I use an EZRack with a 7 slot chassis and an EZTouch HMI.

Very cool, I have done some all day time lapse taken on 5 minute intervals. Very interesting stuff.

@anon4427090, another (slightly cheaper) alternative to automating your grow room is a programmable relay such as the Teco SG2 series available from factorymation,com (replace the comma with a dot).
The down side to using a programmable relay or a PLC is that you must have a basic understanding of electricity and wiring (or know someone that does).

You could do daily updates and we all could find something new to admire every time…
You are that good, imo!
