Grow Tracking Software

[PhenoMenal]

This is the proggy I threw together which I've been using for the last four or so years. It's very simple (it shouldn't be complicated!), and it's something any new/amateur programmer can easily throw together.

Basically it just lets me keep track of which strains i've got in which pot, how long I vegged them for, and how long they've been flowering, as well as a section to save Notes. It does everything I need and nothing I don't.

(if you're wondering why I've taken Cinderella 99 etc so long into flower it's because I've pollenated it and waiting for her seeds to ripen)

OMJebus,
The problem though is that my program isn't flexible - I wrote it specifically for my small setup (max 5 plants in veg and max 7 plants in flower), so in its current form it wouldn't be very useful to many people, but by uploading the screenshot I hoped to show just how easy such a program can be - there's really no frills required, and the simpler the better I feel, because it needs to remain practical and beneficial without wasting any of your time or making anything unnecessarily complicated.

I can't believe someone hasn't made a successful, free piece of software that meets this demand. Disappointing but I have hope that someone will emerge and do it eventually.

What software/hardware would be needed to do a video log?

Video of plants in time-lapse.
Bottom of screen shows side-scrolling graph of pH/tds/water usage.

I just need about 30-40 different runs of the same plant with different grow styles and I should be 'good' for my mind's eye picture of what 'is'.
