GroLab Hydro - Combo Kit
NOTE! All GroLab products have a longer delivery time!
GROW CONTROLLER AUTOMATION SYSTEM | Starter kit + TankBot
GroLab Hydro Kit is a powerful growth controller that allows complete control and automation of climate, lighting, irrigation, pH correction, nutrient dosing and all tasks related to tank management.
This kit provides the necessary tools to create security systems to react to any problems and/or indicate these problems in time.
What do I get with a GroLab Hydro Kit?
The GroLab hydro kit comes with:
Starter Kit: | GroNode | PowerBot | |||
TankBot |
It also includes a USB pen that contains the GroLab-software, instruction manuals and video tutorials.
GroLab Software is always under development. When a newer version is available, it will be updated automatically. The same happens for all included modules, this means that your GroLab Hydro Kit will have access to all the improvements the GroLab development team will be making in the near future. | |
One GroNode can support up to 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots, 4 SoilBots and 4 UserBots. You are free to divide them among 4 different rooms with two different grows each. Whenever you need a new grow, clone or bloom room, you can simply expand your GroLab system by adding the desired additional modules. |
What does the GroLab Hydro Kit control? - Sample Configuration
The GroLab hydro kit gives you precise control over your lights, and allows you to configure the growing days from 18h/6h to 12h/12h with one click.
The temperature and humidity probe allows you to control ventilation, reducing the consumption of this device and optimizing the climate in your grow room.
Connecting a water pump to the PowerBot allows you to control irrigation. With the GroLab software, schedules can be created to feed any grow type with extreme precision.
TankBot ensures the perfect health of the nutrient solution, automatically adjusting the pH and delivering the right amount of nutrients with each refill. It can even refill a full tank on its own. Thanks to its ability to control solenoids, you can use TankBot as a creator of irrigation paths, where a single water pump feeds different crops at different times.
TankBot is also a powerful security tool because you can read any universal switch sensor, such as smoke or motion detectors. This allows you, for example, to lock down your entire room or system, and even send you an e-mail when, someone gets too close, or smoke is detected. All these procedures and options are fully customizable!
GroLab offers data-logging and data-storage, these functions ensure that all information about sensors/devices is collected and stored over time! Thanks to these and the data visualization functions, it is possible to do a detailed analysis of the life cycle of your plants, so you can maximize their growth and efficiency!
This is a diagram designed to show some of the capabilities of the GroLab Hydro Kit, but you can rearrange the devices, or even replace them, with any other device you find useful, such as lamps, foggers, fans, heaters, metering pumps, solenoids, power relays, dehumidifiers, etc.
Since a single GroNode supports up to 4 modules of each type, if at any time you need to add more sensors or devices (for example, to control another grow room), you only need to add the desired additional modules to expand your control.
GroLab Software
The GroLab Software is the control cabin of the system. The main purpose of this software is to allow you to fully configure the entire system, by providing all the tools to customize the settings of modules and devices to the functionalities of each growing system.
Track the progress of your crop(s) through IP cameras and a variety of data inputs, with graphs, historical data and trends. All sensors/actuators data can be easily exported to a friendly file for external in-depth analysis. Using a third-party device capable of logging data in the cloud, the GroLab system can periodically upload data to that device. Thanks to the remote control feature, this easy-to-use software allows you to continue to control and monitor your grow(er) as if you were there.
