Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Replace your tedious spreadsheets with the power of e-Gro, the sensor and data-insights platform based on Grodan's 50+ years of precision growing experience. e-Gro helps you optimize your entire growing facility from propagation through processing. e-Gro gives you the power to view substrate and climate sensor data from all grow rooms in your facility as well as key key performance indicators such as overnight dry-back, dry-back since last irritation, average ambient temperatures, and average relative humidity. You can track every batch from mother plant to harvest. You can even create custom alerts to notify you the moment a root-zone or climate parameter falls outside of your preferred range. Powerful Algorithms Analyze All Data Sources e-Gro collects data and uses powerful substrate algorithms based on Grodan's 50+ years of expertise in measuring root-zone WC, EC, and temperature, delivering a complete overview of the cultivation process. These tailored insights allow growers to view and compare batch performance, receive automatic calculations, set alerts, compare key growing info, tag colleagues, and share data by adding notes and pictures. © 2023 Grodan 101 1 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO My Grow Op My Grow Op module provides a complete high-level dashboard where you can check the status of your entire growing facility, from mother plants to processing, accessible 24/7. In My Grow Op, you can view important overviews of your facility's climate and root-zone information per room. © 2023 Grodan 101 Substrate Temperature Instant alerts notify you of any parameters falling out of range, so you can better control your growing strategy. 2 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Benefits of My Grow Op Integrating the feedback from both root-zone and climate sensors allows you to identify potential issues and better steer your crops based on the needs of each cultivar. © 2023 Grodan 101 3 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Conditions Module The Conditions Module gives you the power to overlay and analyze root-zone and climate data to optimize your irrigation and crop steering strategies. Visualizing key climate parameters on the same graph as substrate data, allows growers to gain greater insights into how their climate strategies drive root-zone dynamics and vice versa. This module helps you minimize inputs costs, while maximizing yield and crop performance. © 2023 Grodan 101 Rootzone data Get real-time data from Grodan root-zone sensors, including VWC (%), EC (mS/cm), and tem- perature (° C or F). Climate data Get real-time data from the Grodan climate sensor, including relative humidity, ambient temperature, room VPD, and CO2 concentration. 4 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Conditions Module Personalized Viewing e-Gro lets each user see the graphs and data that are the most important to them and in the format they prefer, so decisions can be made quickly and efficiently. View Multiple Sensors at One Time You choose the sensors and zones you want to see. Data Cards let you see up to 7 data sources to analyze together. Time Slider Easily see your crop's history in 36-hour, 3-day, 7-day, and 30day intervals. Compare Performance in Different Rooms You have the flexibility to add a second graph and compare data from other rooms to better understand performance between the two grow rooms. Benefits of Conditions Module Optimize your irrigation and climate strategies based on real-time accurate data to save on inputs, maximize yield, and increase sustainability. © 2023 Grodan 101 5 Growth Tracker Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Process efficiency is increasingly important to realize optimal yields and quality of your crops. The Growth Tracker module allows you to easily input and track key parameters throughout the various stages of a batch's lifecycle, from mothers, to propagation, veg, flower, and harvest, culminating in cultivar-specific, crop-cycle insights. In Growth Tracker, you can view each batch's historical climate and rootzone information to optimize crop steering and genetics for future production runs. Benefits of Growth Tracker With the Growth Tracker module, you can optimize: Cultivar-Specific Strategies Gather and analyze all crucial strain-specific information throughout the entire growing cycle by batch. Crop Steering Compare the performance of individual batches to desired average performance to adjust and hone your irrigation and crop steering strategy. Crop Data Get a comprehensive view of your data and plants with the option to add pictures and notes. SOPs Use captured data to improve SOPs and train all team members on the operational parameters. © 2023 Grodan 101 6 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Alerts Set It Proactively address suboptimal growing conditions with immediate notifications in the app and via SMS when your crop's climate or rootzone settings go out of your customized range. Set your alert choices for each stage of the crop's growth cycle. You can set the alert range for specific rooms or phases. You can even be notified if sensors have a low battery or weak signal. Benefits of Conditions Module Reduce the chance of errors or problems from issues such as irrigation line occlusion, failed solenoids, or closed vales with custom, timely alerts for water content and EC. Ability to customize the alert for each grow room, crop, variety, and growth stage. © 2023 Grodan 101 7 Grodan Grow Guide - Cannabis Edition E-GRO Grodan Root-Zone Sensors The Grodan root-zone sensor is one of the most widely used and trusted sensors in the cannabis industry for both indoor and greenhouse crops.
