Plant card: name/strain, type (autoflower/photoperiod), sprout date, pot and substrate.
Free with limits, full on Pro
Also called
new plant · create plant · add strain · start a plant
Where it is
- Bottom menu → “Plants” → “+ Add plant”
- or “+” → “Plant” on the Plants tab
The mobile and desktop versions are the same: the app runs at growscope.uk/app/ as a single column with a bottom menu of four tabs — “Today”, “Plants”, “Tent”, “Comparison”. Settings open from the avatar at the top right; the Archive opens from “Comparison”. On a computer the only difference is that features needing the phone’s camera, motion sensor or Bluetooth should be run from a phone.
Requirements
- A free slot: Free — 1 plant, Pro — 4 (extra slots can be bought). Plants in drying/curing don’t use a slot.
How to use it
- Enter the name or strain.
- Choose the type: autoflower, photoperiod or “type being confirmed”.
- Set the sprout date, pot volume and substrate.
- Save. Optionally run the AI strain profile (2 credits) to refine lifespan and feeding profile.
Result
The plant appears under “Plants” and in the picker on “Today”; its nutrition calendar is built from it.
If you can’t see it
- The button is disabled — the plan’s plant limit is reached: finish a cycle, move a plant to drying, or upgrade to Pro.
