GAIA App – Your AI Grow Assistant

GAIA (Grow Artificial Intelligence Assistant) is more than an app — it's your smart cultivation partner.

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.

Meet GAIA – Your AI Grow Assistant

GAIA brings The Green Switch to life with personalized reminders, AR guidance, and a user-friendly interface.

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.

Validating AST 

In Collaboration with Humboldt University

The AST method is now being scientifically studied at Humboldt University.

The research includes:

Testing one of Janti's switched mother plants

Monitoring cannabinoid and terpene development

Stress analysis under controlled conditions

Documenting morphological changes linked to AST

"The AST Research Experiments and Results"

The findings will be published in the upcoming book:

All plant data, images, and test results will be integrated into the GAIA App to empower a growing network of growers and researchers worldwid.
