Know the impact of climate 48h ahead with sapflow and stem diameter predictions
2Grow's prediction models show you 48h ahead how your plants will perform and recover
If you were certain how your plant was going to respond to the current climate, you would know with confidence when you can take more generative actions, or when you need to steer more vegetatively.
Thanks to our clear, daily reports it takes just 30 secs per day to review your plants' health, objectively evaluate the impact of climate actions on plants and further improve growth efficiency.
Do you also have one of the following Crop Challenges?
Problems with fruits or in the root of the plant
Every year you're at risk of losing 10-30% yield from problems like blossom-end rot or split fruits.
Knowing the optimal time for irrigation and drainage
You’re not always certain if you are starting and stopping with watering too early or too late.
Not being able to anticipate plant's needs
You only know after the facts what you should have done and can only rely on your gut feeling to know what to do, which doesn’t scale.
No direct feedback from climate actions
When changing something in your greenhouse it takes one week to know the effect and it's hard to determine cause / effect relationships.
Dealing with virus and learning to grow new varieties
Because of viruses you try new varieties, but you don't know yet how to grow them optimally.
Adapting plants needs during changing weather days
When weather changes it's even difficult to tell if you can take more generative actions or not, like irrigation, lightning, drainage, CO2 and screens.

That's why many growers invest in expensive equipment, hire the best growth advisors, tried tons of data, climate dashboards and sensors, or even gave a shot at letting AI do the growing for them.
But that doesn't always get the results that's being promised.
Why simply investing in more data isn't always profitable?
You know which data helps you make better decisions – but you don't know why many sources of information aren't helping you…
Fact 1
Just because data shows something doesn't mean it accurately represents the reality of your greenhouse.
Fact 2
Interpreting data can be very time consuming and very often you don't have this required time available.
Fact 3
A deeper understanding about the plant doesn't necessarily mean you can do something about it.
Result
Doubts, overwhelm and time constraints prevent many growers from fully investigating plant data, upon which they don't see any added value for themselves and then stop using the system altogether – even if the insights have the potential to greatly profit your production.
Plant and climate data can only be profitable when:
Plant and climate data can only be profitable when:
You trust both representativity and accuracy of the data
You need to know that what you see on the computer is exactly what's going on in your greenhouse.
The data allows you to look forward and anticipate ahead
If you can only look backwards, you can only answer the question: "What should I have done?" - Instead of: "What should I do?"
You can translate insights into concrete actions
Data is useless when it doesn't enable changes. It's through different climate actions that you will make your investment back.
You can integrate the system into your daily routines
New systems need to fit into your current routines; because if they don't; you'll risk being stuck into the never-ending trap of waiting for a better time to apply yourself.

In short:
To improve growing, be it:
Increase generativity without reaching the point of no return
Understand relationships between climate data, plant activity and yield (like photosynthesis efficiency)
Keeping your plants alive during the whole season
Managing your energy where you don't buy your kgs (or accidentally sacrifice yield to safe on energy)
Scale your growing operations so fewer people can manage more surface area in less time without sacrificing yield…

You need to have the tools and systems that can give you the right information at the right time (meaning, when you can still do something about it), where it takes you minutes, not hours to identify a problem, and a clear way to translate it into climate actions.
Breakthroughs and Case Studies From 2Grow's Customers
"Thanks to 2grow I now have a system that allows me to have my irrigation strategy based on what my plants really need, and not only on theoretical speculations based on the amount of light. Because bell peppers are a harder crop, there is no other way to do this."
- Irrigation strategy is now adapted to plants daily needs
- Certainty the plant isn't secretly overstressed
- Now has to spend much less time on finetuning his growth strategy
- Instant feedback on how the plant responds to irrigation and climate action
"We can really understand why on some days our plants don't look good - and how 2 days later, we can make them look amazing again - because we have the graphs and data to help us understand what's happening inside the plant. We can see the difficult moments and understand how to help them recover."
- System to further optimise for even juicier, tastier fruits
- Can easier help plants recover after difficult times
- Easier to anticipate future challenges
- Better control over their plant
"The main benefit is getting insights into what the plant is doing. Having something tangible, instead of just looking at the plant, gives you more control. You can see more of how plants react and why they do certain things - based on data instead of just feelings."
- The rooting period went down by 4-5 days
- Plant is more active, leading to reduced losses during harding phase
- Understand why certain window positions give certain reactions
- Have more control over their plant

How 2Grow Plant Activity Management can help you save 3-8% yield
And your plants continue to thrive in turbulent times
- Sap flow measurements for plant activity
Know exactly what your plant consumes and how hard it's working through directly measuring it's sap flow with our advanced sensor technology.
- Stem diameter for water reserves and stress levels
Combine these measurements with diameter to not only know the level of transpiration, but also knowing how much water reserves the plant has left before getting into a state of stress.
- Consistency and precision of data guarantee
We guarantee the precision and continuity of data thanks to the selection of multiple measure plants, our advanced installation protocol and 24/7 support system in case of technical difficulties.
- Evaluate the effects of yesterday's climate actions on the plant
Evaluate the effectiveness of your irrigation by looking at activation time, deactivation time, daily total sap flow, time of first irrigation, intensity of the plant's reaction to that irrigation and daily growth.
- 48h sap flow prediction through customised workflows
We combine historical climate data from your greenhouse, enriched with weather products and developed machine learning algorithms.
- Review plant performance in under 5 minutes
Your time is limited, so we provide you with the most important insight directly to your phone, taking no more than 5 minutes to review.
