About Grow Sensor

Built by growers, for growers - and powered by precision.


At Grow Sensor, we believe better growing starts with better data. 

That’s why we built the Grow Sensor PRO, a precision monitoring device that helps indoor cultivators make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.

Designed for everything from home grow tents to large-scale commercial setups, the Grow Sensor PRO helps you fine-tune ambient VPD leaf VPD, PPFD, DLI, CO₂, RH, and more - so your plants get exactly what they need, when they need it.

Backed by decades of hands-on cultivation, UX design expertise, and a relentless focus on user-friendly technology, our goal is simple: 

To help you grow the best plants possible, with fewer inputs and less waste.
