GAIA App – Your AI Grow Assistant
GAIA (Grow Artificial Intelligence Assistant) is more than an app — it's your smart cultivation partner.
GAIA supports the AST Method by analyzing your plant’s rhythm and recommending when to trigger the 12/12 cycle — reinforcing that AST is a light-triggered switch, not simply a delay or stress tactic
What GAIA can do:
- Analyze your plant’s rhythm, structure, and stress signals
- Suggest when to switch light schedules for AST
- Guide you step-by-step through cloning and syncing autoflowers
- Track growth phases and anomalies
- Work offline when you're in the garden or greenhouse
All feedback from GAIA feeds into the broader AST research project — making every grow a learning moment for the whole community.
She learns from you, teaches others, and evolves with every plant we grow.

What GAIA helps you do:
- Understand your plant’s behavior through light and stress signals
- Identify the optimal switching window for the AST Method
- Track growth rhythms and deviations in real-time
- Detect early signs of overwatering, stress, or nutrient issues
- Work fully offlineb— because gardens don’t always have Wi-Fi
Why she’s different:
GAIA isn’t built on guesswork. Every function is grounded in the real-world results of the AST Method, and she evolves as more growers use her.
With GAIA, every grow becomes part of a larger research movement — open-source, inclusive, and led by the plant.
Coming soon:
- Green switch clone-timer tools
- Light-rhythm advisors
- AI pruning suggestions with real-time camera analysis
- Direct connection to the AST global grow map
Available in beta soon for all AST Challenge participants.
Why GAIA Is Different – More Than Just an App
GAIA is your personal grow assistant, built with one mission:
To help you grow medicine naturally, precisely, and freely.
What GAIA does:
- Uses camera-based analysis to detect early stress and growth signals
- Recommends optimal switching points for AST (even offline)
- Learns from your grow to improve future predictions
- Offers interactive grow guides, including The Green switch & Jauche methods
- Logs and syncs your plant data to refine the method for everyone
GAIA is not a database — it’s a living research tool, updated with every grower’s input.
With GAIA, we turn each plant into a teacher.
