tracking can be backed up on the Amazon
cloud (AWS). The Guardian Grow Manager allows a

About the Company
The folks at ÆssenseGrows set out to create the most
effi cient and effective fully automated growth system
that would allow horticulturists to produce the safest,

vegetative plants to other growers, commercial cultivators
