I think adding “Growing Degree Days” / “Growing Degree Units” to the Plant Monitor integration would be amazing!
“GDD are a measure of heat accumulation used by horticulturists, gardeners and farmers to predict plant…development rates such as the date that a flower will bloom…or a crop will reach maturity.”
That is really interesting. I think you could create/calculate the sensor yourself though.
From skimming the article you only need two input values; Tbase and Tmeasured, where Tbase might be tricky to pinpoint for plants not commonly used in agriculture.
I’ll try to cook up a GDD sensor for a couple of my plants.
