Getting Started#
GroBase gives each grow a home. A Cycle holds its Plants, Lights, work, readings, and photos, so you can see how everything changed over time. You can start with just a name and add details when you have them.
Track your first grow#
Create an account, confirm your email, and sign in.
Choose Simple or Advanced in the navigation. Simple shows the main grow tools; Advanced also shows planning and organization tools.
Open Cycles and select New Cycle. Add a name and any details you know now.
Open the Cycle and choose Plants to add your Plants. Add Lights if you want to track your grow lighting.
In Stages, select Start First Stage and choose the stage and date that fit your grow.
As the grow progresses, use Log Activity for things you do or notice, and Record Measurement for values you measure.
Select Add Photo when a picture helps tell the story.
Open Timeline to review the grow. When it is finished, select Mark Cycle Completed.
Tip
You do not need to fill in every field or record a reading every day. Start with what is useful to you.
Find your way around#
The Dashboard highlights active grows, upcoming tasks, and open issues. Search helps you find saved records. Seed Vault tracks your seeds, while GroHub lets you explore shared grows. In Advanced view, Grow Plans compare targets with readings, Templates save reusable details, and Projects group related work.
Optional Tour buttons on the Dashboard, Cycle, and Plant pages give a short walkthrough. Switching Simple and Advanced views only changes which tools appear in the navigation; your saved data stays in place.
Next: Create and manage a Cycle.
