Read full description

TurboBatch puts your mushroom farm in your pocket. It's the farm-floor companion to your TurboBatch account, built for growers who track every block and every bag. Walk the grow room and run the whole operation from one screen. TRACK EVERY BATCH Follow each batch through its lifecycle, from colonizing to fruiting to harvested, with projected move and harvest dates calculated from your own strain timing. Fruiting blocks and spawn bags each run their proper stages. ACT IN ONE TAP Advance a batch, log a harvest, adjust bag counts, move a room, or retire a batch right from the dashboard's Pit Stop panel. Everything is a tap away, no digging through menus. SCAN AND GO Point your camera at a batch label's QR code to jump straight to that batch. No typing codes with gloves on. LIVE CLIMATE See temperature, humidity, and CO₂ for your facility and each grow room, streamed from your AC Infinity sensors, with how fresh each reading is at a glance. SMARTER MOVES When a batch is ready to fruit, TurboBatch checks your rooms against the strain's target and recommends the best fit, so every block lands in the right climate. MANAGE YOUR FARM Add and edit your strains and their timing, plus your rooms with their climate targets and capacity, all from the phone. NEVER MISS A STEP A daily morning notification tells you what needs attention: blocks ready to harvest, blocks due to move to fruiting, and anything overdue. Sign in with your existing TurboBatch account and unlock instantly with Face ID. Everything stays in sync with the web app, so your phone and your desktop always agree. New to TurboBatch?
