Notifications
GrowScope combines whatever's due across all of a user's plants into one daily reminder notification, plus separate notifications for billing, referral rewards, and archive-related events.
How to do this in GrowScope
- Tap the notification bell in the app shell.
- Notifications are grouped by type: Reminders, Payments, Invites, Data storage, Other.

- Output
- A grouped list of notifications. The daily "Reminders" group can combine: the day's watering/feeding plan, a missing climate reading, a jar-curing "burp" reminder, a training/tie-down check, the weekly CO2 or PPFD measurement, a new growth-stage advice card, and balcony frost/heat weather alerts. Separate groups cover payments, referral rewards, and archive/data-retention notices.

Notes
- The Pro adaptive-watering daily decision is delivered as its own notification, separate from the combined daily reminder.
- The daily summary arrives at the time and in the time zone you set in Settings (09:00 by default). It lists every plant in an active cycle: water volume, the fertilizer mixing order with doses, EC and pH steps if you have the meters, flush days, and for hydro plants the reservoir targets or a solution-change reminder. Plants that are drying or curing are left out.
- Lines inside the summary only appear when they apply. The CO2 line needs a CO2 meter switched on in your setup and is asked once per cycle week. Jar burping only covers curing batches with burp reminders enabled. The training check appears when branches are due to be re-tied or tucked into the net. The stage card appears once per new growth stage, and the same card on the Today screen is then marked as seen.
- If you fill in one plant and leave the others, a follow-up reminder arrives 45 minutes later with the number of plants still waiting. It is tied to when you started, not to the summary time, so it also works if you check the box in the evening.
- GrowScope Lab tasks (plant scan every two weeks, leaf color, Airflow Scan after the flip to flower) are reminded at most once every 3 days while the task is open.
- Balcony weather alerts cover frost, heat above 35°C or 40°C, and strong wind gusts. They are only offered if you have a balcony place and arrive at most once a day.
Where to find it in the app
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn off individual reminder types?
Settings has three switches: the daily summary, the Pro adaptive-watering decision, and balcony weather (shown only if you have a balcony place). Climate, CO2, training, jar burping, stage changes, the 45-minute follow-up and Lab scans are lines of the daily summary and turn on or off together with it.
Can I choose when the daily reminder arrives?
Yes. Pick the time and time zone in the notification settings. The default is 09:00. The app queues the summary for the next 7 days, and each day's delivery time is calculated separately, so daylight saving changes do not shift it.
Do reminders work with end-to-end encryption?
Yes. The server cannot read an encrypted diary, so the open app builds the reminder text itself from your decrypted data and queues it for delivery. The same code writes the text in both cases, so the wording matches what the server would send.
