About

Verdant Grow Intelligence

Read full description

Verdant is a private grow journal for people tracking plants they're cultivating legally where they live. Log what you actually did — waterings, feedings, training, repotting — and photograph each plant as it changes. Verdant keeps the timeline so you can look back and see what worked. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Waterings, feedings, and nutrient mixes with amounts, EC, and pH • Photos organized per plant and per day • Temperature, humidity, and VPD from your own sensors • Growth stages, training, and everything else worth remembering UNDERSTAND YOUR ENVIRONMENT Verdant computes vapor pressure deficit from your temperature and humidity readings and shows how it trends over time. Rather than flagging every number that sits outside a textbook range, it explains how your readings work together — warmer air with higher humidity can still land in a healthy VPD range, and Verdant tells you when that's the case instead of raising three separate alarms. PHOTO ANALYSIS THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE An optional on-device model reviews your plant photos and notes what it sees. Nothing is uploaded. You can download it when you want it and remove it whenever you like. A COACH THAT EXPLAINS, NOT GUESSES Verdant computes your plant and environment assessments with deterministic rules, then puts them in plain language. The numbers come from your data, not from a model's imagination. On supported devices this runs entirely offline using Apple Intelligence. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your journal, photos, and readings live on your device. Verdant has no account, no tracking, and no servers collecting your data. If you choose to connect your own AI provider, requests go directly from your phone to that provider using your own key — we're never in the middle. CONNECT YOUR OWN SENSORS Already running Home Assistant? Verdant reads your existing temperature and humidity sensors so your journal carries real environmental context alongside every entry. Verdant is a record-keeping and analytics tool. It does not sell, source, or facilitate the sale of anything.
