Peppers sprouting in grow box (time lapse)

Well slightly more exciting than watching grass grow but for something that takes several weeks to complete is definitely worth a watch.  If you watch carefully you can even see the automatic watering in action.

Joining the sprouts is a mature pepper plant which has been flowering and daisy seedling my 7 year old planted hoping it will flower as well.

    The camera is LifeCam VX-3000 and I take a series of pictures and then use software to combine them into a video filtering out some based on the degree of difference between them.As for the watering system, it is very simple. Just a water pump with a half inch output tube that bottom feeds the plants which is triggered by my grow box controller.Other than moving a couple plants around the system has been successfully taking care of the plants which other than filling the 5 gallon bucket reservoir once.
