About

HydroGardenAdvisor

Features
Read full description

HydroGardenAdvisor is a growing coach for hydroponic lettuce, leafy greens, herbs, and fruiting crops. Plan the setup before you start seeds, check your plants mid-grow from a photo when something looks off, and log a harvest for a real assessment — with every setup saved to your garden and every harvest's lessons carried into the next cycle. Setup plans are built for your exact crop and system, not one generic formula: the photoperiod that actually fits (most kits default to 16 hours, which bolts lettuce that wants 12-14), a nutrient mix scaled to your reservoir size, bolt-resistant cultivar picks where they matter, and what to expect week to week. 26 crops are covered across lettuce, leafy greens, herbs, and longer-cycle fruiting crops like tomato and pepper. Plant checks are vision-based: send a photo mid-grow and get a diagnosis, not a shrug — tip burn, light burn, etiolation, early bolt, root rot, or a nutrient deficiency, named and prioritized. An EC Adjust calculator tells you exactly how much concentrate to add or how much to dilute, in both teaspoons and grams, for your specific reservoir. Logging a harvest returns a real cycle assessment — what worked, what to change — with concrete adjustments carried forward into the next setup plan for the same crop, so lessons compound instead of repeating. Setup plans and harvest logs are free and unlimited. The free tier includes 3 photo diagnoses a month; HydroGardenAdvisor Pro adds unlimited diagnoses. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION HydroGardenAdvisor Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings.
