While scrolling down, for a long time, over the digital screens, you know in order to circumvent or bypass the itching of eyes, is to look over the natural and colourful world.

The number of plants or even small flowers which have been planted in the parks may be the reason you are planning to visit there!

So nourishing them and maintaining their data, will not benefit the humans only, but to the other creatures too. Moreover, it will certainly leave a direct impact on environmental factors.

Today I 'm going to share with you, a growth tracker which can maintain, and let these plants, grow in a much better way.

Post Body

Isn't thus it, essential to maintain the data of these plants?

Yes, in fact, it is!

So, If you are a nature addicted or nature loving person, then this app is for you.

What is growing tracker?

The grow traker app helps in recording the data, about the growing plants in order to have a close look over the growing conditions of plants, to help in making the plants grow better, and identify mineral content and much more, during the growing process.

As soon as you install and open the app, it requires permission for external storage only, in order to load the images and plant data.

My general experience with grow tracker?

A few months back, I had planted a plant which belongs to the lilac lace family. I watched and noted down the following noteworthy characteristics of the soil.

●pH
●Water content
●Temperature
●Runoff water
●PPM

I found these, these features reverberated on the growth of the plant as it maintained the balance of minerals which I 'm on which the plant is feeding

Why I consider it awesome?

I have found and used a lot of apps, based on technology, but I hardly believe at that time, that somebody is going to launch the app like grow tracker.

The best, but not the least, noteworthy feature I found in this is that you can plant a plant individually or combined in a garden!

Moreover, the smooth functioning and best graphic designing in the app are too the features, which I should not forget to mention.

During my time on the app, I tried a lot to notice/find a bug, but to my surprise, this app works quite smoothly

Also, I found the filter option much worthy feature, as it allowed me to differentiate between the following type of plants.

●Planted.
●Drying.
●Growing.
●Harvested.
●Cutting plants.

I'm living in the city where internet banning is schedule, So it was certain that I may miss entering the data sometimes!
But here I found a feature called schedule data feature, which was very helpful, particularly for me. It allowed me to enter the data before my internet connection is barred.

Grow tracker noteworthy features and How and why they were fruitful for me?

◆ Feed option.

Just click on the type of the plant you want to feed, the window which appears looks like this.

In order to enter into the main feed window, Just click on feed option, where you can enter the blanks provided, in according to your choices and conditions. I have provided the details as shown in a snap.

◆ Independent stage option!

As such, this option will not be visible to you.
When I first installed the app, I thought I must have to use it(app), as soon as I planted a plant. Later I came to know that I can use this application independent upon the stage of the plant.

In order to add a new plant, you can choose the date of the plant as you wish!

Moreover, you can choose the plant stage too, whether it is planted, germinated, or anything else.

◆ Role of Statistics.

> Temperature

Since, when I thought I should prepare a blog on this app, at that time I had planted a single plant one day ago, that is why I have not yet got the required graph. But somehow I managed to get the average temp based on the data I proved to during these two days.

_PS: I have been using the app a few months back,but at that time I had not taken screenshots of results.

> pH

I think the pH of the soil has an unbelievable effect on the growth of the plant.
Isn't it?
Of course, it has!

So, I think having these statistics is more beneficial than the rest of the features. But the main problem I have with this feature is that It only displays the average pH. However, it would have been much better if it may have provided a day to day analysis in the graph too.

>PPM

PPM stands for parts per million. It means how much amount of water you are providing to the plant. As watering the plants are beneficial for their metabolic activities, it is mandatory to notice the amount of water on which plant can sustain its life.

◆ Uploading photos

It is not mandatory to upload a photo, but uploading photo will make the plant look better inside the app. As an example, I have uploaded a picture whose screenshot from the app is shown in snap below.

This feature is not less than others, because it allowed me to differentiate between the number of plants, and between their physical representation.
