Research tools

What you don't need in order to grow, but what makes the second grow better than the first: comparing against the real climate of an origin, looking at where a genetic line comes from, measuring with instruments and competing with other growers.

Time Machine

FIG 22a · Time Machine: the origin's climate curve against your cycle.
  • You pick a landrace origin and the app builds that place's climate curve, scaled to the length of your cycle.
  • Previewing writes nothing: it draws day and night temperature and the summary of light hours per stage.
  • Apply loads those targets into your zone, with a confirmation.
  • Compare overlays the target curve against what your tent actually measured.
  • Undo returns the zone to how it was.

Genetic map

FIG 22b · Genetic map: landrace origins and place of creation.
  • You start from a strain and see where it comes from: origin landraces with their weight, place and country of creation, and the real climate of that origin.
  • It connects with Time Machine: from the map you can clone that origin's climate into your tent.
  • When the data only got as far as country-level precision, it shows the country and doesn't invent a place. As for you, the app locates you by IP and only down to the country: it never stores coordinates.

  • PAR measurement with a VBR-100 meter over Bluetooth: it opens a live measurement screen so you can map the tent.
  • THC/CBD measurement with a Purpl Pro.
  • Use this phone as a camera: the setup flow for Eyes.

Grower Arena

FIG 22e · Weekly ranking with a podium, and your own row always visible.
FIG 22e · Weekly ranking with a podium, and your own row always visible.
  • Two views: weekly (the last 7 days, on a rolling window) and all-time, plus the hall of fame with each week's champions.
  • Eight metrics: overall, VPD in band, days monitored, journal entries, AI usage, tasks completed, light punctuality and setup improvements. Plus a team ranking for collaborators.
  • If you don't have data for a metric you don't enter that ranking: it doesn't put you last, it leaves you out of that table.
  • What's different: it rewards being on time when you do it by hand — it compares the real time of each action against the scheduled one. It only adds, never subtracts.
  • You can change your name and avatar, and opt out of the ranking with a checkbox.
  • There's a public page explaining how each metric is calculated.
Do this
Use Time Machine on a test zone before your production one. An Afghan landrace's curve can be spectacular and awful for the genetics you're running now.
Avoid this
Don't apply the polyploidization layer "just to see what happens". It rewrites the tasks of the grow you have running.

The real Brain reads your sensors

This manual explains the app. Brain, inside it, answers about your tent: why your VPD spiked last night, whether that dryback is normal, what to change today.
