Bluelab Announces Update to its Guardian Monitor System

Posted by Brian Sparks|June 9, 2023

Agri-tech company Bluelab has unveiled the latest upgrade to its Bluelab Guardian product line, the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi (BGUSTD02) and Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi Inline (BGUNLN02). The monitors are the first in the Bluelab product portfolio to support the optional connection to Edenic software via a Wi-Fi network.

Building on the original Bluelab Guardian Connect, the new monitors are designed to offer accuracy and reliability when it comes to making sure key growing parameters pH, conductivity, and temperature remain within range. In a scientific study conducted by the Center for Applied Horticulture, petunias had a 50% growth increase at pH 4.5 than when they were grown at any other pH value. When parameters go outside of their recommended pH ranges, plants suffer from poor nutrient uptake resulting in poor yields and crop loss. The Guardian Monitor is one way that growers can mitigate that risk.

“The Bluelab Guardian Wi-Fi and Bluelab Guardian Wi-Fi Inline present an opportunity for growers at any scale. Our focus was to keep all the key features that growers know, like simple calibration and plants safe-LEDs,” says Head of Product, Byron Arnold. “We now give growers access to nutrient pH and conductivity data wherever they are via an easy-to-use mobile app. With the Bluelab Guardian Monitor paired with Edenic, growers rest easy knowing their reservoir is as it should be.”

Connecting to Edenic means that growers can check their parameters any time, from anywhere, with the Edenic app. Edenic is easy to set up, meaning that there is very little friction to get connected.

“We have focused on delivering a world-class user experience for our customers with simplicity and ease of use top of mind,” says Bobby Barnes, Head of Software. “Real time monitoring, instant alarms, remote control, and history reporting enable growers to be closer to their plants 24/7.”
