Today's #weedling and #hydrotower combo update:

The tower is waiting for Cal-Mag because @WordenPond is brilliant. (It also explains what keeps happening to our squashes in the yard.) Other than the deficiency, it is doing OK and the one cucumber continues to grow in it's odd gherkin-water-balloon way. Lots of male flowers but only a few fem still. 🤞

The weedlings are happy, and I finally found the spare #switchbot switch to replace the #securifi peanut on their grow light. That should make it MUCH more reliable.

The securifi plugs do have some serious bugs, but once set up they were generally reliable for years. Recently they have been suffering the increasing instability in the #homeassistant #zigbee2mqtt stack, exacerbated with HA's visceral hatred of "retry that obviously failed command". I'll likely reuse them in places where on/off is less critical, or as always-on power sensors.
