Just got mine in today as well. Initially right out of the box, a few flowers only had the faintest touch of glow once my eyes adjusted to darkness.
After some time in sunlight and getting watered, the glowing was a bit better and I could see more of the flowers. Once the sun got lower I put them under some led lighting.
At my final check for the day I could start to make out some of the leaves. The glow is still faint and requires adjusting to darkness, but didn’t take nearly as long.
As it recovers and starts growing vigorously, I do expect it to improve, though I doubt it will ever be capable of competing with most ambient light from any nearby sources.
Basically I got what I was expecting and look forward to them continuing to develop the tech, though I do think the company should be more cautious with their marketing images. I’m well aware of how good cameras are at being ad-hoc nightvision since as an agronomist I sometimes end up still trying to scout things when it’s getting dark, and my pictures still look like near daylight. Other people though may end up a bit too optimistic, and disappointed.
Eventually I’ll figure out how to take a picture that reflects what I actually see.
I’d love to see this applied to English daisies.
Do they smell like normal Petunias?
They smell exactly like normal petunias with flowers being floral, and the leaves smelling like a typical nightshade.
Immediately out of the shipping box they’ll be a bit rank, which is normal and expected from keeping a nightshade in a box for 3 days. It quickly dissipates.
Yup! Floral/sweet, strong but not overpowering.
