Prepare the NPK tests
Use the finalized product instructions and reagents to prepare nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium reactions in the clear testing cells.
Physical Pocket Lab · Coming Soon
Pocket Lab
Prepare the test. Read the color. Understand what your plant may need. Then carry that plant’s record into Grow With Dr. Dirt and keep its story going.
The physical Pocket Lab is in final development. Production calibration and final product-specific handling guidance will be completed before release.
Look. Test. Decide. Recheck.
Pocket Lab is designed to make a prepared soil test easier to read and easier to connect with the plant, place, and growing conditions that give the number meaning.
Read with the camera
The Pocket Lab scanner uses the phone camera and calibrated color references to interpret the prepared reactions.
Build a measured plan
Add the plant, stage, soil, climate, elevation, and growing area to produce scaled garden guidance with benefits, cautions, and a recheck window.
Context turns a test into a useful next step.
The same core workflow can stay simple for a home gardener or accept deeper context from an experienced grower.
Camera and manual NPK
Read prepared reactions with the camera or enter values manually when that better fits the situation.
Plant-aware guidance
Consider crop type, lifecycle stage, visible condition, soil texture, climate, elevation, and growing area.
Scaled prescriptions
Turn readings into measured amendment amounts for the actual bed or container rather than a one-size-fits-all suggestion.
Clear reasons and cautions
See why each ingredient is present, what to watch for, the assumptions behind the plan, and when to test again.
Advanced context
Add separately measured pH, Brix, EC, temperature, redox, and biological-state information when those readings are available.
Account-backed records
Save, search, revisit, and update plant records so one test becomes part of an ongoing observation cycle.
The real garden enters the game
Your plant becomes more than a saved result.
An account-backed Pocket Lab record can supply a plant to Grow With Dr. Dirt. Its real-world identity and source stay connected while the digital plant lives inside your mapped property.
- Bring a saved plant record into the game through the Logbook.
- Keep the plant connected to its source record instead of turning it into anonymous points.
- Watch time, weather, location, growth stage, and care shape its continuing story.
- Use Dr. Dirt’s Tips and color-coded recipes to observe, respond, and recheck.
- Refresh linked plant data later while preserving the growth already earned in the game.
Coming soon to the field.
The scanner can be previewed now with zero scans. Existing testers and account holders can sign in, while the physical Pocket Lab continues through final production calibration and release preparation.
