Ive been working with new chips that are built a different way to monitor and control the plant , not the environment. When you grow a human baby do you adjust the babies nutrient uptake based on ambients?
No.
We monitor the organisms with tools. Not so much with plants yet.
With plants its very rare to see a grower monitor plant functions and Vital Signs, he monitors the plants ambient and the grower is a plant Observationist and adjust the plants nutes and ambient temps - water based on surroundings and not based on the monitored plants functions and Vital Signs.
So what are a plants Vital Signs?. Well with humans we got a pulse, body temps, and 1000's of other things we can scientifically Measure. Same for plants. Most of the tools for plants have not been accessible for plant elect chips until now. New chips are coming out and YES I can get them to work with 3.3 & 5 v. So arduino-ras-panda-lattelino boards are compatible with this chips that monitor animal and plant Vital Signs. These chips are amazing and can be used to measure chemicals/drug effects on Organs/organisms.
The chips are plant matter or blood based/animal. The chips are living organisms.
So how would we use a porometer and other useful plant tools that measure plants vital signs?
Rite now we monitor the ambient and not the plant itself. run off, temps, observation; I got all the kits if you're building electronic arduino-Ras plant learning kits. Yes we teach this to grade skool kids so its not that hard, now we have software programs that eliminate code writing.
But this is soon to be out dated. I'm just sharing the latest greatest stuff.
We can put plant plasma in the chips now. As always its easier to understand with human biology so this might help you understand organic chips,,, No not sun dried potatoes chips lol..
This is how we'll monitor petri dishes, test tubs, animals , plants and pathogens in the very near future. The chips will be mounted on the plant itself and or plant matter will be put in to the chip pretty cool huh, no more guessing;
