Read full description

GrowerDiary is a practical grow journal for tracking plants from the first day to harvest. Log daily grow data such as watering, pH, EC, temperature, humidity, plant height, photos, notes, trimming, nutrients and feeding plans. Keep every plant organized in one clean timeline and review how your grow changes over time. The app also includes useful grow tools such as DLI, VPD, airflow, electricity, pot watering, light unit conversion, hydro analysis and visual diagnosis. Built-in tutorials help you understand pH, EC, watering, climate, hydro reservoirs, common problems and harvest basics. GrowerDiary supports light and dark mode, color themes, metric and imperial units, reminders, plant archives and harvest summaries. The free version lets you try the app with basic limits. A one-time full version unlock removes the limits and gives access to all plants, longer grow histories and premium tools.
