Here’s what it measures and why it matters:
– Controls plant metabolism, affecting growth speed and nutrient uptake. Too hot or too cold can stress plants and reduce yields.
– Impacts transpiration and nutrient absorption. High RH can lead to mould, while low RH can slow growth.
– Essential for photosynthesis. Maintaining ideal CO₂ levels boosts growth and maximises yields.
(extended Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) – Monitors how much light plants receive, ensuring the right amount of light for optimal photosynthesis.
(extended Light Spectrum) – Monitors the full range of light wavelengths plants use for growth, improving energy efficiency and development.
(extended Daily Light Integral) – Tracks total light exposure over 24 hours, helping to optimise lighting schedules.
– More accurate than ambient temperature for detecting heat stress and optimising VPD.
Ambient VPD ()– Helps balance humidity and temperature for stress-free plant growth.
– Ensures efficient transpiration, preventing overwatering and nutrient lockout.
Leaf temperature off set. - Shows you the live difference between ambient temperature and leaf temperature.
Substrate EC (Electrical Conductivity) – Indicates nutrient concentration in the growing medium, preventing over- or underfeeding.
Water content in the substrate – Prevents over- or underwatering, improving root health.
Root zone temperature – Affects nutrient absorption and root development.
– Predicts condensation risk, reducing the chance of mould and mildew.
Air pressure – Can impact gas exchange and overall plant health.
With the Grow Sensor, you get precise data to fine-tune your environment, reduce risks, and maximise yields effortlessly.
