Better in the app · alerts, photos and real-time control
Supercycler acts on the physical world of your grow. And it doesn't do so as a black box.
Manual, scheduled, light-synchronized, moisture-based, pulse, volume-based, and Crop Steering.
Temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO₂ are evaluated continuously, with hysteresis and safe states.
Photoperiod guardian and auto-healing. You see the real state of the light, how long it has been that way and when the next change is due.

The cycle stops being a fixed setting. It becomes a hypothesis you can run, observe, and compare.
You don't have to choose between growing and experimenting. You can run 12/12, share your data and be part of a global research effort out to create the first Supercannabis. Or you can go further and try a supercycle.
Every protocol turns a goal into a guided experience: it tells you what to do, how to do it, why it matters, what to watch for and how to log what happened. Pick a guide, apply it to your zone and get every step at the right moment; Brain is right there with you and it all stays in the Timeline.
Growing shouldn't depend on remembering everything. A protocol turns a growing goal into a sequence you run, review and improve.
By goal, by experience and by the phase your grow is in. You can start with the simplest one.
The protocol is assigned to a specific zone and knows what day, week and stage that grow is in.
They spread themselves by day, week and frequency: once, weekly, every 3 days, 2× a week or daily.
You complete it, answer with text, attach photos, dictate a note. Some tasks ask for specific evidence.
It explains what the task means, why it shows up now and what to look at before moving on. With your zone's context.
Every task, photo, note and decision is anchored to the exact moment of the grow. Searchable, not lost.
You don't have to know everything today. You only have to know what to do now. The catalog grows with you.
Less memory. Less guessing. More continuity from one day to the next.
Protocols isn't a single recipe. It's a catalog organised by intent: flowering, clones, mothers, irrigation, moisture, structure, supercycles, breeding and hydro.
A technique doesn't replace the guide: it adds its own tasks on top of the protocol you already have applied. Rooms, on the other hand, are complete zone protocols.
Flat canopy and even light: the net levels the tips so every bud gets the same light. Adds tucking, weekly levelling and density control.
Symmetric architecture from veg on: a central manifold with equal arms, at the same height and with the same number of nodes.
A fortnightly technique for cutting clones from established mothers: from prepping the bench and sterilising to setting the clone in a jiffy or rockwool cube.
The grow's gene bank: preserving, maintaining and evaluating elite lines. Vigour, stability and continuity, not yield.
Cut → healing → callus → root → hardening off. The focus is survival, hydration and root quality before transplant.
Every protocol declares its phase, its task count and its environmental targets. The wide ranges of an Easy protocol tighten on their own once the zone has a VPD, CO₂ or PAR sensor.
Advanced protocols aren't mandatory. You can start with a simple guide and move up when your curiosity takes you further.
Real screenshot · the base protocol catalog with phase, task count and real usage.
Every task has a frequency and a window of weeks. The engine spreads them across your zone's real cycle: drag the flowering length and watch the whole schedule redistribute.
Tap any day in the grid to see what the protocol asks for at that point in the cycle.
A daily task generates 63 entries in 9 weeks. A weekly one, 9. The schedule isn't a list: it's a distribution.
We don't hand you a list to read. We hand you the next step to do: what to do, when, why it matters, what evidence is expected and what to do if something doesn't add up.
Real screenshot · the task opened in the app: evidence, Brain's context and illustrated steps.
Tasks can ask for specific evidence: a photo, a written note or the record of a treatment applied. Priority orders the day: critical first, high next.
Brain explains the task before you do it and reviews what you logged. It doesn't replace your own observation and it doesn't promise a biological outcome.
Completing a task isn't just ticking a box. The evidence stays connected to the day, the phase, the task and the rest of the grow: a story you can go back and read.
The Timeline gathers completed and pending tasks, photos, notes, environmental readings, protocol changes, light and irrigation events, human interventions and Brain's explanations.
Looking back stops being a memory exercise. You can answer what was done, when, what was observed, what Brain recommended, what changed afterwards and what's worth repeating or fixing.
What is a completed task today is reusable knowledge tomorrow.
Real screenshot · the protocol's environmental targets and its 13 tasks placed by week (W1, W1-2, W2…) with their frequency.
Brain works with the context of that zone, that phase and that history. It explains why a task shows up now, what to observe before doing it and what changed since the last check.
Brain guides and keeps you company. The observing and the deciding stay yours.
Brain · zone contextPick a question to see how it answers using the grow's context.
Brain
No generic chatbot. It answers with real numbers from your zone, clear explanations, and a suggested action. It can also speak first, review protocols, narrate events, and support you by voice.
Plant Scan · Beta
Scan a leaf and Brain analyzes it for pests, fungi, and deficiencies, then returns a diagnosis with confidence level, evidence, and an action plan. It's in open training. Every scan you make and every correction you add helps improve it.
Plant Scan is in beta and sometimes gets it wrong, and that's okay. It's not a finished tool. You're building it with the whole community. If the diagnosis is wrong, flag the error and tell us what you saw. Your correction today is tomorrow's right answer.
A supercycle is a light and dark cycle whose total duration is not 24 hours. The trial evaluates whether a period longer than 24 hours changes the plant's development when every other condition is held constant. The design compares four periods, of 24, 26, 27 and 28 hours, and the main hypothesis proposes that a period close to 27 hours could match the endogenous circadian rhythm of Cannabis sativa.
The protocol, the predictions and the evaluation criteria are published before the trial closes. The results will be added to this page with their date, their method and their context.
Four cubicles, four genetics cloned and repeated across all four, and a different period in each cubicle. The only thing that changes between rooms is the length of the cycle.
The switch to flower, day 1, happened on September 1, 2026. The predictions were logged on August 16, before setup and with no data taken.
The four cubicles on one screen, one frame every five minutes since day 1 of flower. It updates once a week.
Set up on August 17, 2026. Switch to flower, day 1, on September 1, 2026. Harvest is per plant, once the maturity criterion is reached, and the prior expectation puts it between early and mid November.
Four arms, 12/12, 13/13, 13/14 and 14/14, with one cubicle each. Four genetics, with one clone of each genetic in every arm, and a container of chrysanthemums per arm as an exploratory observation.
Four identical 1 × 1 × 2 m cubicles, one per arm, white on the inside and with forced air exchange. One 300 W fixture per cubicle, four plants in 10 litre pots and a container of chrysanthemums in the middle. Between cubicles, only the length of the cycle changes.
Dry flower weight per plant on reaching the declared maturity criterion, which is read on the trichomes of a fixed spot. Harvest dates differ between arms and the days to harvest are analyzed as a variable. PPFD is measured at canopy height. It started at 600 µmol/m²/s and is stable at 750 in the four cubicles today.
Dated entries with what is measured and observed in the four cubicles, newest first. Each date carries the Supercycler stage clock. DAY counts the days since the flip to flowering and SC the light cycles each arm has gone through, which are fewer than the days when the cycle is longer than 24 hours. In 12/12 the SC equals the day.
The apex of SC-G01 in 14/14 forms a ring of calyces that does not appear in 12/12 or in 13/14, visible from day 40 and clear on day 42. A detailed follow-up opens with overhead photos at a fixed scale, and a secondary hypothesis is registered with its refutation criterion. The original predictions do not change.
PPFD was measured at canopy height in the four cubicles. At the start of flowering it was 600 µmol/m²/s and today it is stable at 750 µmol/m²/s in the four cubicles, because the plants grew and the canopy is now closer to the fixture.
The two front plants have an indica habit and are shorter than the two at the back, which have a more sativa habit. So that all four get a similar intensity, the front ones were raised 22 cm and the canopy now sits at the same height in the four arms.
From the next batch on, every plant photo carries a reference ruler in frame, so sizes can be compared across arms.
The four genetics have buds formed at the apex in the four arms. Heights barely changed since 25 September, a sign that the flowering stretch is ending.
Visual observation, not a measurement. In 13/14 the sugar leaves of Lemon Cherry Fire F2 and Sweet 16 show more visible trichomes than in 12/12. SC-G01 in 14/14 sets more flower sites on the outer branches than in 12/12. Hell-echo in 13/13 has more buds than in 12/12, at the apex and on the outer branches.

From this day each light cycle gets three irrigations, the first of 180 seconds and the other two of 120, about 470 ml per pot per cycle. The hours without water between the last irrigation of one cycle and the first of the next remain the same in the four arms.
Internodes were photographed with a ruler for the first time, on Hell-echo in 12/12, 13/13 and 13/14 and on Sweet 16 in 12/12 and 13/13. 14/14 has no height measurement on this day.

Overhead camera, middle of the light period
Until this day watering was done by hand. From the night of the 16th each pot has two drippers and each cubicle its own pump, with three irrigations per light cycle.
The schedules were set so that the four arms spend the same 18 hours without water between the last irrigation of one cycle and the first of the next. That way the longer night does not turn into more hours of dry substrate.
Each overhead photo gives the share of the floor covered by the canopy. A turgid leaf stays horizontal and covers, a leaf short of water folds and lets the floor show. In 14/14 that coverage dropped during the light period by 23 % on 6 September, 11 % on the 7th and 18 % on the 11th, and from the 8th its baseline stayed between 44 and 46 %, while in 13/13 it went from 43 to 57 %. The large broad-leaf plants were the ones folding.
The climate of the four cubicles was the same, with no heat or evaporative demand out of range. With hand watering, the 14-hour night leaves the substrate drier than in the other arms, and that led to the scheduled irrigation of the 16th.

First height measurement of the four plants in each arm, one week after the flip to flowering. The clones start with size differences between genetics, and those differences repeat in the four arms.

First batch of photos of the four cubicles and of the room, open and closed. Each cubicle also has an overhead camera that takes a frame every five minutes since 28 August, and those frames make up the trial timelapse.

The four arms switch to their flowering regime on the same day, 12/12, 13/13, 13/14 and 14/14. It is day 1 for every clock in this log.
The trial compares four arms at a single site. These are the cycles published by independent growers, each with its genetic, its regime and its report code. They are analyzed separately from the controlled comparison and reported with their context.
Background, hypothesis, literature, design, material, analysis, scope, predictions registered before the start, preprint and change log. All of it lives at supercannabis.ar, next to the other work on supercycles, and is cited from there. What changes every week stays here.
Clone the climate where a genetic found its expression: look up the plant, find its roots, go back to the right year and reproduce its light, its temperature and its humidity inside your room.
An exact cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 of darkness can happen at specific times and places, above all near the equator or the equinoxes. But it is not the universal rule outdoors: at most latitudes the day changes with the season, sometimes slowly, sometimes drastically.
Outdoors nothing flips at the push of a button. Light shifts day by day, temperature swings, humidity breathes, sunrise arrives at another hour. Supercycler turns those variations into an indoor protocol.
Every genetic has a geography and every geography has a time. The map separates three layers so you know exactly which climate you are about to clone.
Where the deep lines come from: the landraces holding up the genetic background.
Where the breeder selected and phenohunted it. It is the climate that accompanied the decision.
Where you are going to try to rebuild that context, no matter the season or the hemisphere.
Creation is not just a name. It is a climate, a latitude and a history of selection.

Ancestral origin and creation zone are different layers: the first explains where the line comes from, the second explains under which environmental pressures it was selected.

Pick the point. Pick the year. See how the place was breathing. The historical climate record of the zone builds the temporal reference of the plan.
13/13 · the supercycle stretches the day to 26 h: the room can travel the arc of the zone without forcing it into a 24 h clock.
Real screenshot · 1941–2025 slider over the record of the creation zone.
ERA5 is a historical climate reanalysis: it reconstructs how the atmosphere behaved at that place and on that date. It is not a measurement taken plant by plant.
The solar arc and the sunrise are astronomy: they depend on the latitude and the day of the year, not on the year you chose. What changes with the year is the climate.
Moving the harvest window does not change one number: it changes the whole curve. Flowering, light, temperature and humidity are recalculated together.
It is not a fixed recipe: it is a sequence. The values are environmental targets derived from the historical record of the zone, not universal instructions.
The temporal cloning view takes the selected point and generates an indoor protocol starting today: day and night temperature and humidity, VPD, lights on and off, simulated sunrise and a day that shortens on its own.
Real screenshot · reversible preview: historical climate + solar arc, day by day.
Example of engine output for a specific genetic and zone. It is not a universal recommendation nor a promise of a result.
The supercycle does not need to pretend that indoor is 12/12. It can make the room travel a light curve close to the one of the place where the genetic was selected.
The preview can smooth climate events with a 3-day moving average to observe a more stable curve. It is a visualisation tool: the applied plan keeps the real record.
Real record · 16 climate events visible across the 67 days of the plan.
| Day 1 | Real record | 3-day moving average |
|---|---|---|
| Day / night temp | 26.5 / 16.8 °C | 26.9 / 17.7 °C |
| Day / night humidity | 38,4 / 70,4 % | 38,0 / 66,9 % |
| Visible events | 16 | smoothed |
We do not hide the difference: smoothing changes what you see, not what happened.
Exploring a climate is free and reversible. Writing it into a zone is a separate decision, explicit and always reversible.
The preview shows the complete plan day by day without writing anything into any zone.
You select the destination by name and confirm with a separate button. If two zones share a name, you check before.
Applying writes light and day/night targets that update themselves every day. It can be reverted whenever you want.
Real screenshot · day 1 metrics and zone selector; the CTA changes to the name of the chosen destination.
Applying writes the light and the day and night targets into the zone, and updates them by itself every day of the cycle. The engine does not promise a phenotype: it recreates environmental pressures associated with a selection.

“What happens if I run this strain at 13/13?”
Photoperiod, phases, irrigation, and target climate.
Sensors, cameras, and continuous readings.
The system runs and logs every action.
A traceable report: what you set up, what happened and what you learned.
Our peers are the growers. Brain coordinates a shared protocol so different teams can run comparable experiences. Sensors, photos, notes and real actions come together in traceable reports that other growers can review to confirm, refute or adjust the hypothesis.
Supercycler helps you go from “I want to try something” to research that can be repeated and discussed. The AI supports the process, but human judgment and the community's review stay in control.
An isolated result is a clue. When several teams run a protocol and review their records, we can tell whether the hypothesis holds, falls apart or needs a different question.
Supercycler is free for up to 4 devices and 2 zones, with every feature active. Enough to automate a real grow, try 13/13, and take part in open research.
Everything you need to run a real Supercycle and be part of the research.
Future paid plans will raise the number of devices and zones. They will not shrink what the free plan can do.
The free plan includes the whole platform. Live sensors, irrigation, climate and light automation, Plant Scan, protocols, and Brain. The limit is scale, meaning 4 devices and 2 zones, not the tools.
We want as many growers as possible using Supercycler, trying different cycles, and reporting what happens under real conditions. Every report improves the automations, refines the protocols, and builds evidence on Supercycles like 13/13.
Add up to 4 devices and create 2 zones. No card, no locked features.
