Plant Trialing

What are your plants doing?

Core Testing Capabilities

Plant Growth & Health Metrics

Root Mass Growth RateQuantifies root development over time under defined environmental or media conditions.
Shoot Growth RateMeasures above-ground biomass accumulation in response to controlled variables.
Propagation Success Rate Assesses rooting efficiency across propagation techniques, substrates, or treatments.

Plant Physiological Monitoring

Non-destructive, in situ testing using the LI-COR LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System to capture real-time physiological data, including:

We capture real-time physiological data from live plants, including:
Photosynthetic rate (carbon assimilation)
Transpiration rate
Stomatal conductance
Water use efficiency

Camaraderie is more than a name. It’s how we work.

Fertilizer Uptake and Nutrient
Tracking

Icon

Tracks fertilizer solution chemistry before and after root zone contact.

Icon

Samples EC, pH, and nutrient periodically to identify uptake rates, salt accumulation, and nutrient
imbalances.

Quantifies macro and micronutrient accumulation in plant tissue to assess nutrient uptake efficiency, mobility, and overall plant nutritional status.

Growing Media Analysis

Media Desiccation / “Dryback” Rates
Measures of volumetric water loss over time to assess irrigation frequency and meadia performance.
Nutritional Dynamics in Media
Tracks nutrient availability, salt buildup, pH, and EC trends throughout the growth cycle.
Microbial Activity and Organic Matter Shifts
Evaluates biological activity and decomposition in organic substrates or soil blends.
Environmental Monitoring and Control Metrics
Light Quality, Intensity, and Distribution
Uses quantum sensors, spectroradiometers, and PAR meters to assess: (1) PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density); (2)DLI (Daily Light Integral); (3) Red:Far Red ratios

Commercial Outcomes

Icon

Uses software such as JMP Pro to distinguish causation from correlation and uncover key variable
interactions.

Multivariate Statistical Interpretation

We create beautiful data visualizations for trends across trials, cultivars, or growth environments.

Custom Data Dashboards

Icon

We produce plain language summaries for operations, cultivation, and executive-level personnel.

Other Capabilities

Time-Lapse Imaging and Plant Behavior Tracking

Uses high-resolution time-lapse imaging to observe growth patterns, movement, and stress
responses across conditions.

Microscopic Imaging and Cellular Analysis

Uses compound and digital microscopy to assess:

Trichome density and development
Cellular morphologyRoot hair proliferation
