Sensors & IoT – Building a Digital Microclimate for Cannabis

Convert your ordinary grow tent into a smart grow tent! Technology enhances the way you grow cannabis at home. Wireless sensors bring all-new capabilities for monitoring, controlling, and automating a grow tent. Tech-savvy growers will have a blast bringing the future of cannabis cultivation to their grow tents.

Technology is your personal grow assistant, helping you achieve and maintain optimal grow settings for the cannabis plant. Wireless sensors are readily available on the market to help remotely monitor data about the air and soil conditions inside the grow tent. Some of the most important sensors in the setup include temperature, humidity, and light intensity. See what other sensors provide a complete overview of the growing climate in this ‘Ultimate Guide to Temperature, RH, VPD, EC, pH & PAR’.

Does a smart grow tent sound expensive? News flash—it’s not! There are plenty of budget-friendly solutions for wireless sensors to enhance your grow tent. We’ve scoured the web for the best products to build a wireless climate network, and it’s achievable with as little as €30.

Technology provides growers with an entirely new perspective on their plants. You’ll spend lots of time examining your plant during the growth stages. Place an extra set of “eyes” on your brow using specially designed cameras. Growers can build their own DIY Spectral Camera with the help of this guide. This camera allows you to see what’s invisible to the naked eye, enabling you to spot risks of stress or pests before they occur.

Data-Driven Decisions & Predictive Models

Documenting the grow journey is highly recommended for growers who are dedicated to their craft. It’s the best way to review previous grows and gain insights to make your next cultivation even more successful. Keeping a grow journal can be a tedious task. Those extra few minutes to jot down the temperature, measure your plant height, and test light intensity can feel daunting. However, with the right tools, you’ll grow to like this essential part of the growing process.

The first step is updating the type of grow journal you’re using. A physical journal is a relic of your grandparents’ era of cultivation. It’s time to use our digital tools to give our grow journals a modern refresh. See why starting your grow journal in Google Sheets is a smart way to upgrade your grow documentation process.

One advantage of creating a digital journal is its multimedia capabilities. Documenting a grow is more than just writing notes. Tools like Google Sheets allow growers to link plant photos to sensor data. Photos unlock visual evidence corresponding to the sensor data. Now, you can recall the state of your cannabis plant throughout the growth journey without relying on your memory.

Buying sensors for a grow tent isn’t always in the budget for every grower. Luckily, you already have one of the most powerful grow tools already—your smartphone! Most modern smartphones are equipped with technology useful for measuring specific data, including light intensity. This data is helpful when documenting the grow. The guide highlights popular apps for measuring light intensity and how you can start using them in your cultivation today.

Smart Micro-Automation for Home Growers

Explore a new hands-off approach to growing cannabis. Reduce the amount of manual labour it takes to produce a batch of new buds with wireless control systems. Adding the right wireless devices to your grow tent can turn manual work into a task completed with the push of a button.

Even small home grow tents can use a lot of energy to grow a cannabis plant. Monitoring and managing your energy consumption can save money in every cultivation. It’s one of the biggest advantages of using app-controlled power strips for cannabis growing. These devices turn every part of your grow tent into smart, wireless equipment that is controllable right from your smartphone. And there are plenty of other advantages that come with using this tool.

Give yourself some peace of mind by keeping your grow room safe. Growers dedicate weeks to cultivating a cannabis plant. Safety measures ensure your hard work pays off with healthy plants at the end of the flowering stage. Smoke and leak detectors are two valuable additions to a grow tent. These devices send alerts to your phone when it detects smoke or water leakage in the grow tent. This blog reveals what could cause these issues and why push notification alerts are critical to getting your cultivation back on track.

Smart grow tents can be controlled remotely using a smartphone or voice commands. Now, there’s no excuse to complete your cultivation tasks for the day because it’s never been easier. From lights to fans to temperature settings, smart controls make it easy to adjust your grow tent from the palm of your hand.

Sustainable High-Tech & Efficiency in Cultivation

Sustainability is a trending topic in the world of cannabis cultivation. It’s good for the environment and reduces the cost of growing a cannabis plant. Leverage the power of technology to create a more sustainable growing environment for your plant—and even lead to even better growth!

The type of grow lights you use have a significant impact on the result of your cultivation. The best lights mimic the effects of the sunlight for growing cannabis indoors. Growers have experimented with using different colour grow lights to produce unique effects on the cannabis plant. The art of spectrum tuning can actually boost terpene production. Different light wavelengths consume different amounts of energy. Efficient use of light colourcan also reduce the amount of energy your lights consume during the growth cycle.

In addition to light colour, light intensity also plays a critical role in developing the cannabis plant. Light intensity helps the plant predict the current season so it knows when to start flowering, store energy, etc. Matching LED intensity to sun hours creates an accurate representation of the outdoors for your indoor grow tent. Higher light intensity informs the plant that it’s mid-day and time to absorb energy for photosynthesis and growing. Reduced intensity can signal that it’s near the end of the harvest season and flowering must begin.

Sustainability also includes the upkeep of your grow equipment. High-quality equipment means less waste and less frequent repairs/replacements. General wear occurs on equipment like pumps and filters that can make your grow tent less efficient. Knowing the signs to predict wear early allows you to be proactive in restoring the equipment.
