This is my first project with my freenove esp32. There was definitely a learning curve going from an uno clone to using a breakout board and esp32 for the first time. Started off just learning how to use an OLED screen and snowballed in to an house plant grow monitor with high and low tracking, environment alerts/tips. Today I'll be setting up the web UI and phone alerts. Not too bad for my first legit project after learning the basics. When it's all said and done it'll be ran by 18650s just gotta transfer everything to a circuit board and figure out how to make a decent enclosure with adequate airflow.

Started off with just wiring up the 7 segment digit display to learn the layout of the pins turned into a sound activated 10 second count down then added an indicator LED then said screw it and added a passive buzzer and programmed a little melody to it now it counts down the notes instead of by seconds just need to adjust the sensitivity a little it's a bit to sensitive but whatever it was still a fun project and I learned a lot lol

Just learning so don't mind the simplicity but it was a fun little project that helped me understand transistors a little bit better. Touch wires are connected inside the springs of the clips it kept them from moving around and randomly blinding me with full power out of nowhere when they'd touch.

Sorry bout the photo dump. I'm fighting myself on whether to harvest now and avoid budrot, or push it another week or so and hope for the best? I messed up and wasn't watering good enough for the first half of its life because I was afraid to over water. Instead I ended up under watering and got salt buildup and lockout from acidic coco (lesson learned). Back to the point though I have sugar leafs dying off and I'm afraid if I wait too long I'm gonna end up with botrytis so I need the wisdom from the elders 🙏🏻 what do I do?

So I've been wanting to learn to solder so I got this kit from goodwill and figured it would be a good start little did I know I'd be learning so much more than I anticipated 😆. So my issue is TP5 is supposed to get around 1.5v according to the manual but I'm only getting .5v and R35 R34 and R39 all receive about 9v but only put out between .3-.5v TP5 is directly after R35. Dose anyone have any ideas thoughts or theories? My brain hurts and today is day 3 of trying to diagnose the issue.
