different applications can

diagnose what could be wrong
with your crops to reminding
you to add nutrients to your
hydroponic system. Here’s a list
of the top five growing-related
apps that you should consider
adding to your digital toolbox.
PERFECT HYDROPONICS
Perfect Hydroponics’ name promises
something big, and it delivers. If you aren’t
dedicated to documenting information, this
app is a godsend. Think of this app as your
detailed grower’s notebook that allows for a
wide range of information. From document-
ing when a foliar spray is applied to record-
ing data on your reservoir, all your informa-
tion is available at the touch of a finger. With
this app, you can have information stored for
six different gardens simultaneously. This technol-
ogy is great if you like to try different experiments to
see what provides better results, as you’ll be able to
track the differences and results right in the app easily.
Perfect Hydroponics is only available on iTunes for $1.99.
There are some similar apps available on Play Store for
Android users, such as MyGarden.org, a free app.
