Here’s a short, simple video I just added to my YouTube where I do a quick soil test with Earthlight™, find that the soil is quite poor, and then amend the soil with a fresh brew of compost tea. You can see the device spring to life after I amend the soil, indicating that the soil biome has been instantly improved with the addition of beneficial microbes. Behold the simple power of Earthlight™— A soil microbe lab in your pocket. Never be in the dark about your soil quality again.!
Finally that useless “Under Construction” banner with the lame little construction cone icon is gone forever, and you can browse the small but growing rabbit hole of our product documentation. We will support each product that we produce in full and make it easy to not only view the instruction sheets remotely, but you will have access to all of our sales materials, supplemental documentation, how-to videos, relevant blog posts as well as full access to a certified third party review of all of our products with no middleman. So basically you can view anything and everything at any time from any device, and download it too if you prefer to have your instructions on your phone to take into the field for instance. I know that’s how the internet always worked, but still– mobile documents! Amazing.
Just click on resources and you are supported-! We will be adding everything we have as it comes out. And connecting it to our new YouTube channel (That’s correct! Video tutorials and cat videos inbound) like it really/is 2002 all over again. Enjoy and happy… being supported in every way when you buy one of our products and/or support our research. Cheers to discovery and innovation.
Green visible light will not affect a plant’s photoperiod or trigger photosynthesis. A plant cannot see green light because a plant’s green chlorophyll reflects it. That’s why plants appear green to us in the first place.
Green light, like that emitted by Earthlight™ will not disrupt the flowering cycle of your plant. The LED color choice was for this reason. People even use green lights to work on their plants at night. Plants like Cannabis that need to be deprived of light to trigger the flowering cycle will be completely unaffected by the device’s LED indicator light.
So, green light!– you are good to go.
With Earthlight™ you never need to guess about your potted indoor plants needing water. The device constantly feeds you valuable information in the background in a simple, easy-to-read format.
I personally used to struggle with my houseplants– I would unknowingly over-water them. Used to watering mainly outdoor perennials for my landscaping business in Alaska, I would water my indoor plants the same, as if they had the ability to drain properly with all of the extra water that I was giving them! Needless to say they suffered root rot and struggled, many clinging to dear life.
I haven’t been able to keep a proper houseplant in years. If only I had invented the Earthlight™ earlier. We’ve got about 7 of them setup in the house today in plants of various sizes. Some plants in awkward locations where we would never be able to manually check the soil without standing on a chair.
The green LED goes out and you water the plant like normal– its that simple.
A friend of mine uses one of them in his 10-gallon Cannabis pot. Our plants do great and are always perfectly watered. Plants on our sunny South-facing windowsill tend to dry out quickly, but we would never notice without the Earthlight™. Other plants in shady corners tend to stay wet longer– these are the ones I used to accidentally kill.
But not anymore. Plus these devices have me thinking about soil biology on a whole new level. I have seen first hand how an Earthlight™ struggles in poor, mass-produced potting soil and will light up a room (don’t worry, its easy to adjust the brightness and there is a “soft-glow mode”) in soil rich with microbial activity from Bokashi and Micorizzhae, perhaps a little Biochar.
It is also a soil-quality detector, you see. If you want it to work, you need to amend the soil with microbes that will create a full, living biome in your soil. It keeps tabs on the moisture once you keep tabs on your soil quality.
It’s a total win-win for your plant. Plus they emit small amounts of magnesium supplement. It’s like a time-release fertilizer as well.
Keep your indoor plants green with the Earthlight™. No awkward standing on chairs or dirty fingers in the middle of the day to check the soil–
It’s just so much more than a moisture meter.
