Indoor gardening has been a trend since 2016 with the value of goods produced in indoor grow centers having increased by $16.5 billion. However, old-fashioned systems like High-Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs are among the most common reasons people turn away from investing their time and effort from gardening-it's too expensive and high maintenance.
A lot of people became more interested in indoor growing when LED grow lights started to emerge as a viable lighting option, offering low heat, high efficiency, and technology that is subject to Moore's Law. Over the last 10 years, LEDs have proven that they are capable of matching and even surpassing the growth performance of HPS systems-LEDs are the future of indoor growing.
Horticulture equipment manufacturers have been able to adjust the light spectrum of LED boards by either incorporating specialized colorations of diodes or integrating computer chips onto the board and programming each diode. As a result, light manufacturers finally began to release programmable LED systems like the VIVOSUN Smart Grow System that increase the potentials of indoor growing by magnitudes.
The VIVOSUN Smart Grow System includes four new products: the AeroLight, the GrowHub Controller, the VIVOSUN App, and the AeroZesh. The AeroLight is the first full spectrum LED grow light system with a fully integrated circulation fan that can be adjusted remotely anywhere. Since it is compatible with GrowHub Controller and App, you can program the day/night schedule, light intensity, light spectrum, and fan speed to automatically take you from seed to harvest.
The dual ball-bearing EC circulation fan is installed directly in the center of the light, which improves airflow and reduces the risk of mold, mildew, and pathogens. It's perfectly positioned above the plants that spin with little friction. The AeroLight is light but sturdy and not as hot as other LED systems.
Meanwhile, the GrowHub Controller is a controller with capacitive buttons that are easy to use while mounted to the tent. The GrowHub Controller has a magnetic plate that can be placed inside a tent while the controller is on the outside, allowing it to sit against the tent's wall. This device connects to all your tent's equipment, so you can control almost everything including your lights, ventilation fans, and even oscillating fans!
Monitor the progress of your plants wherever you are through the VIVOSUN App. It expands the functions of the GrowHub Controller to your phone, including all the visual intuitive abilities that an app has over a physical device. You can also make more minor adjustments to your equipment and track and read information available to professional growers.
The VIVOSUN App collects data from any of the devices and displays it in graphs and charts that are easy to understand. These graphs serve as the foundation for "Grow Recipes," which are primarily conditions that you set on your App to allow the controller control your devices. It can also alert you if there is a major environmental problem. In an instance the temperature in your tent rises too high, the VIVOSUN App will notify you that the temperature has exceeded your set point and will automatically turn on the fan.
For the system's final component, the AeroZesh a mixed-flow PWM controlled EC fan that is completely adjustable and responsive to the environment. Its mixed flow design creates high static pressure, improving performance and increasing air volume while reducing noise.
It is linked with the GrowHub Controller, so you can program it to turn on and off on a schedule, while the fan speed can be adjusted to meet temperature, humidity, or any other parameters you prefer.
The VIVOSUN Smart Grow System is such a big help and smart tool for those who are into indoor gardening. It offers a very convenient and advanced way to grow and take good care of your plants even indoors. More and more people will definitely get more interested in indoor gardening and growing technology.
