Growth Tracking
GrowScope tracks plant growth two ways: a weekly manual measurement of height and canopy width, and a separate AI tool that compares two photos taken on different days to judge whether growth accelerated, held steady, or slowed.
How to do this in GrowScope
- On the weekly prompt in the Today screen's plant flow, confirm it's a good time to measure.
- Enter the plant's height in cm (from the substrate surface to the top point).
- Enter the canopy width in cm (at its widest point).
- Continue — the reading is saved with a timestamp and also updates the plant's current recorded size.
Plant Measurements

- Growth
- Purpose
- Record a plant's height and canopy width.
- Input
- Height, canopy width
- Unit
- cm
- Location
- Today screen → weekly size-measurement step, or directly on the plant's edit form
- User action
- Enter height
- Enter canopy width
- Continue/save
- Output
- A dated measurement is saved and visible in measurement history; it also updates the plant's current size on record.

Growth Dynamics (AI photo comparison)
- Category
- Growth
- Purpose
- Compare two photos of the same plant from different days and judge the growth trend.
- Input
- Two photos selected from the plant's photo history
- Location
- Plant screen → Growth dynamics
- User action
- Select two photos taken on different days
- Run the comparison
- Output
- A trend result (accelerated / steady / slowed / uncertain) with a growth percentage over the elapsed days and written text; a timelapse video export is also available.

Notes
- There is no internode-spacing (distance-between-nodes) input field in GrowScope — only height and canopy width are recorded numerically. Photos are the tool for catching subtler changes.

Frequently asked questions
How often does GrowScope ask for a growth measurement?
Height and canopy width are prompted for on a weekly cadence in the Today screen's plant flow.
