GrowScope Pro only 4 AI credits per run Needs a camera (easier from a phone)
Also called
trichomes · when to harvest · is it ready · harvest window · amber trichomes · trichome checker
Where it is
- Bottom menu → “Plants” → tap the plant’s card → “Health and care” block → “Trichome tracker”
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
- GrowScope Pro plan
- 4 AI credits per assessment
- Macro photos (clip-on lens or the phone’s macro mode)
How to use it
- Open the plant card and expand “Health and care”.
- Expand “Trichome tracker”.
- Tap “+ Choose up to 4 macro photos”.
- Tap “Rate trichomes · 4 cr.”.
Result
“Transparent / Milky / Amber” percentages, a “Forecast window” (in how many days) and a button to move the harvest date; history under “Assessment history”.
If you can’t see it
- On Free the button is disabled and says it is available in Pro — upgrade in Settings.
- The button says credits are needed / “Not enough AI credits” — this month’s credits are used up; buy a pack in Settings or wait for the monthly refill.
- “Trichome heads aren't distinguishable enough” — shoot closer and sharper.
Mobile vs desktop
Easier from a phone because you need macro photos. On a computer you can upload existing files.
