I'm wondering,what kind of paper is the dirt in?

Where did you get it from?

[NOmeansnoFAN]

try pinnacle for free off the net. It will provide the desired effect.

[CindyPDX]

Great video! Love it !

Not sure if you are still looking for a great free program to make photos into videos etc. but Google Pinnacle videospin 2.0. I did a video with pics, and also added video clips, and chose my own music to create one video. I have one example of using Pinnacle Videospin on Youtube called "Holiday Express 2009" - (it's not a very good vid becuz I was in a hurry) but it gives you an idea. It's easy to use and FREE (my favorite price)

What is thaT stuff at :40

[TechnoTinker]

If that's the part right after the ice melted, I placed an imitation Lava Lamp in the foreground.

[takadi]

Why did you use ice?

[timjim14]

what has this got to do with adhd its just you maing a video of you plating seeds germinating then you forgot to water them .... this is a pointless vid and had nothing to do with add

[TechnoTinker]

Mr. 14:

I apologize that this video and the attempt at a mildly-humorous title did not meet your satisfaction.

My goal is to please everyone on the Internet. Since you feel this video did not meet YouTube's stringent quality criteria, I have enclosed a 110% refund.

If you were expecting information on agro-therapy for ADHD, perhaps it is a worthy research topic. Post your findings with your other fine videos, or at least enjoy the traffic increase from linking to my pointless vid.

@TechnoTinker nice.

[jaso19]

@TechnoTinker i guess i have add since i laughed at the way the  sprouts were moving rofl!

[4sakes]

what does ADHD have to do with this video of plants?

[TechnoTinker]

One characteristic of ADHD is a short attention span. This is a "condensed" gardening experience for the easily distracted. Proof of concept: I kept forgetting to water them, they died, and I never got around to finishing the video with the rest of the footage I collected.

[TheNewUpsetters]

They Love the Lava Lamp !!!!!!!!!

[TechnoTinker]

Yeah, the normally relaxing lamp looked boiling mad!

[Arcimedes125]

I really like the title *lol*

[ussyless]

this is probably way too late, but it looks like they werent getting enough light, the ones on the right side >> became tall and thin and never developed any true leaves

[thegreenretard]

their alive!!!!

[MrSlimFit]

wow i had no idea they move around so much! kind of creepy seeing it in time lapse

[TechnoTinker]

Yeah, it surprised me too. It doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do with having a moving light source like the sun, since these were grown indoors with minimal exposure. They basically stretch one side, then stretch the other. I figure that once they stretch too much one way, the light helps them "straighten out."

[Nexuszen]

cool. how did you do this and what is ADHD?

[TechnoTinker]

Same as ADD - just ADHD is the name that's actually in the latest DMS-IV medical diagnosis classification book. Research suggests that there are multiple types of this disorder, some of which are fundamentally different. Some are hyperactive, some seem lethargic.

[Nexuszen]

thanks for the info.

[TechnoTinker]

Actually, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is what makes it hard to .... uh, did I mention I get distracted a lot?

By the way, the garden died... life got busy, and they needed more, um, attention ... I'll see if I can compile the rest of it some time. I have a 2nd video posted which is longer.

[amandakerik]

If you want, you can reuse the pellets - soak them then squeeze the excess water out. Pop them into the microwave to sterilize the peat, let cool (duh) and you're set.

Two to three minutes for a small handful of pellets is enough.

[TechnoTinker]

Seeing as I never got around to answering this, I had a web cam on a portable computer, and I used the "Timershot" Powertoy for Windows XP to take a picture every 3 minutes. I used another program to convert the JPEGs into one big AVI at 30 frames/sec (I think), and then used another program to reencode and optimize the humongous file.
