QR Codes provide a quick way to open linked GroBase content using a device camera or an image file.

GroBase includes:

QR Code Scanner#

The QR Code Scanner allows you to scan a GroBase QR Code and open its associated page.

You can scan a code using your device’s camera or select an image containing a QR Code.

For security, the scanner only accepts URLs from the GroBase domain.

Allow GroBase to access your device’s camera.
Point the camera at the QR Code.

GroBase will open the associated page after recognizing a valid code.

Scan an Image File#

Select Scan an Image File.
Select Choose Image.
Find and select the image containing the QR Code.

GroBase will scan the selected image and open the associated page when the code is valid.

Plant QR Codes#

Each Cycle Plant can have a unique QR Code that links directly to its Plant page.

Plant QR Codes can help you quickly access plant information while working in a grow space. You can save or print a code and place it near the related plant or container.

QR Codes can be generated in PNG or SVG format.
