About

PhenoLog

Read full description

Find your keeper, and know why it's the one. Every hunt ends the same way: you've run a dozen plants or more and you can only keep one or two. Trying to remember which one smelled best in week 5, or which stretched too much late in the grow, doesn't really work. PhenoLog keeps the record for you and does the math, so the keeper isn't a hunch. It's the plant the numbers back up. You score the plants on whatever you actually care about. Vigor, structure, smell, yield, how it finished. Set your own scales, ignore the rest. Log it week to week and PhenoLog averages everything over the whole grow, so a plant that was solid start to finish beats the one that had a single good week. The part people don't expect is what happens once the data is in. Tap Analyze and AI Keeper lays the whole hunt out so you can see it, not just read it: • A radar of one plant's scores across every trait, so its strengths and weak spots are obvious at a glance. • Two phenos stacked on the same radar when you want to settle a close call. The bigger shape usually takes it. • The whole hunt as a color grid, every plant against every trait. Green is strong, amber is weak, and your keeper lights up. • Each trait on its own line with every pheno on it, so you can see exactly where your front-runner pulls away. It'll also give you a straight read on which one to keep and why. That part is Pro. From there you can line phenos up next to each other and compare scores directly, export a whole hunt as a clean PDF or a CSV to crunch yourself, and bring other growers in to score a hunt with you. Everyone's scores stay under their own name and roll up into one group call. The people you invite don't pay anything. And all of it feeds a genetics library. Keepers become mothers, crosses keep their parents, and every cultivar you've grown carries its history: seeds left, clones taken, the hunts it's been in. PRICING Free: 1 active hunt, 5 phenos per hunt, with full custom scoring, compare, and photos. Light ($4.99/mo or $34.99/yr, 7-day free trial): unlimited hunts and phenos, plus PDF and CSV export.
