Today's tasks and the grow journal

The journal is the grow's memory: what you did, when and with what. The tasks card on the dashboard is its short face — the three or four things that come up today.

  1. 01Pick a grow protocol (☰ → Journal → ⚙ Setup). With no protocol, the tasks card shows you a recommended one as a preview, chosen based on your photoperiod.
  2. 02Every day, the card lists that week's tasks with their image. Tap one to see the detail and mark it done.
  3. 03Write your reports in the JOURNAL tab: text and photos. That's what later feeds the closeout report and your leaderboard score.

Do this
Take the photo anyway, even if you don't write anything. An entry with a photo is worth double in the closeout report, and it's the only thing that later tells you when a problem started.
Avoid this
Don't mark tasks as done in a batch at the end of the week. Real punctuality (the time you actually did it against the scheduled one) is part of the score and of the analysis.

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.
