What are the essential monitoring tools for indoor horticulture?
To maintain optimal growing conditions in indoor horticulture, it's crucial to utilise specific monitoring tools:
Environmental sensors: Devices that measure temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels help ensure plants are in their ideal climate.
Light meters: These instruments assess light intensity and spectrum, ensuring plants receive adequate illumination.
Soil moisture sensors: Monitoring soil moisture content aids in precise irrigation management, preventing over- or under-watering.
pH and EC meters: These tools measure soil or nutrient solution acidity (pH) and electrical conductivity (EC), essential for nutrient availability.
Data loggers: Devices that record environmental parameters over time, facilitating trend analysis and informed decision-making.
Implementing these tools can significantly enhance plant health and yield in indoor gardening setups.
The Grow Sensor covers multiple essential monitoring needs in one device.
It continuously measures temperature, humidity, CO₂, light intensity (PPF/PPFD and ePAR), and leaf surface temperature while automatically logging all environmental data for analysis over time.
Soil moisture, pH, and EC monitoring are not included in the Grow Sensor device but can be used alongside it for a complete setup.
