Timelapse marijuana video idea

I have seen time lapse videos before on television and what not of different common plants and flowers, but what about marijuana? I first thought of the idea a few days ago, while seeing a time lapse camera for sale in a catalog retailing for $89.99. For those of you who don't know what a time lapse camera is, it is a camera that is securely fastened to a stable area, so it is in view of whatever you are trying to film, in my case a marijuana plant. It looks similar to a deer camera. It takes a photographs at certain set times, like every hour or every day. You could film sun rise and sunset with a time lapse, taking photographs every half hour or something, then speed it all up, and you can see an entire day in a matter of seconds. What I would like to achieve is to plant a marijuana plant in the ground with a time lapse camera nearby, and have it take a picture every day, after a full 6 month grow season, I can view a video of the entire life span of a marijuana plant in a matter of seconds. A video like this could give the average viewer the actual perspective on the life of a marijuana plant and how incredibly big and fast they do grow. What are your guys thoughts on a time lapse video of a marijuana plant? :blsmoke:

I did something like that with a regular video camera set up on a tripod, every two hrs I would push record button for a few seconds then stop, after a day I had a video of the plant growing in amazing speed, it was incredible, your idea sounds even better watching a plant grow to it's full maturity, if you do acomplish it would like to see it in a post, looking forward to it....grow on my friend.

You may enjoy this page: http://www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-time-lapse-videos

It has a few different time-lapse marijuana growing videos showing different aspects of growth like germination, topping & recovery, root rot, and examples of plants grown from seed to harvest.

However, I don't think there are any good outdoor ones (except the last one at the very bottom, which doesn't really count). It would definitely be cool to see time-lapse videos of plants grown outdoors from seed to harvest! I wonder how you could set up the camera outdoors so it's stable & getting power but is also protected from the rain/wind/elements?
