Autogrow IntelliDose Complete Kit

IntelliDose has set industry standards for auto dosing! IntelliDose doses up to a 9-part mix (nutrients, additives, pH-adjusters), retaining your preset PPM/EC and pH settings. 

Main Features of AutoGrow IntelliDose 

Here are some of the many features:

Really easy to use! 

The big, interactive screen allows you to switch easily between calibration, setpoints, alarms, and configuration. If you can program a number to a mobile phone, you can program your IntelliDose.

Peristaltic pumps

These pumps are a better long-term investment than solenoid valves, as they allow the nutrient solution to be located at ground level with less risk of leakage and spillage. Solenoids, although less costly, can be more time-consuming to use as they are gravitationally fed requiring solutions to be raised 5 feet above the tank. 

Often, by using peristaltic pumps, you can place the buckets of the solution on the field making a much greater quantity of pre-mixed solutions at one time. This also eliminates the risk of leaks and spills. Maintenance of peristaltic pumps is limited. (Sold Seperately)

Run up to four stations of irrigation! 

IntelliDose will operate up to four irrigation stations as well. This allows various areas of your growing space to be irrigated on different schedules from one reservoir, or to have one pump feed at different times at each station. 

You may also opt to set up your device to only irrigate during the day to ensure that you do not drink water at night.

Link to a PC for Easy Controlling! 

The IntelliDose has the potential to be linked to a PC, but this is not necessary. Growers should decide their own degree of privacy. If you don't want your controller to be online or wired to a PC, it doesn't have to be. 

If you want the advantages of data logging and scheduling, you need a PC, but it doesn't have to be online. If you want remote access and alarms, simply connecting your PC to the internet will give you this choice... choose your own level of comfort!

NEW—Subscribe to IntelliGrow! 

IntelliGrow is a cloud-based solution that enables growers to access, set up, track, and manage their Intelli control systems – anywhere, anytime. Using a free app on your iPhone or Android instead of using your computer! Check out the IntelliLink for more information on Relevant Products.

Works for every line of nutrients! 

You can use any line of nutrients with IntelliDose, liquid, or powder. Only decide your correct dilution ratios (don't worry, we can help!) and the IntelliDose will hold your perfect recipe 24/7. 

Only set your schedule once and forget about it! Using IntelliGrow software, you can set up your entire nutrient schedule in one fell swoop, make adjustments if appropriate, and save timelines for future usage. Scheduling your nutrients helps you to make differences in your reservoir as much as you like and you don't have to be on-site!

Information log 'til your heart content! 

Using IntelliGrow software, you can monitor your nutrient levels, pH levels, and reservoir temperatures endlessly. If you wish, these data can be exported to Excel for further analysis.

Access from the beach (or your sofa!)! 

With IntelliGrow software enabled, there are several different choices for remote access to your IntelliDose. You can log in and make adjustments to the program, check your setpoints, activate or disable the pumps, etc. 

Through a Twilio account or your email accounts, you can have text or email from the IntelliGrow app if the environment is beyond your perimeter. Or forget about the apps and just sign up for IntelliGrow and get access to all the features of the free app! 

Additional features AutoGrow IntelliDose 

• Measurement of nutrients in the EC/CF/TDS range (500/640/700)
• Temperature and date format determined by the user
• PH lower or higher
• Able to set up a separate EC for day and night
• Capable of lowering EC by adding water
• Get updates
• Outputs of irrigation pump
• Fail-safe dosing shut down

In order to have a full pH & TDS/EC dosing device, you need to buy either a single peristaltic pump or a triple peristaltic pump (you would need one pump for each component you want to take a dose). You would also need to "tee" off your current water pump or buy at least a 200 gph pump to run the sample pot loop.

FAQs for Autogrow Intellidose

1- Why is the Sample Pot recommended for Intellidose? 

We recommend the sample pot hold the EC and pH probes, as it keeps them safely secured to the wall, not hanging in a reservoir where they could be pulled out in error. Also, the pH probes do not last as long-submerged completely in water. 

2- How far does the Intellidose need to be from the reservoir?

The EC and pH probes have 5m cables. The placement of the sample pot and the IntelliDose is up to the grower and their specific farm. 

3- Why use the sample pot instead of the reservoir?

The sample pot is recommended to hold the EC and pH probes instead of the reservoir because it keeps them safely secured to the wall, and not hanging in a reservoir where they could be pulled out in error. Also, the pH probes do not last as long-submerged completely in water. 

4- Can it log in to PPM and EC? if yes can it show on the screen?

The system will read the EC, but it can be displayed as EC, CF or TDS 500/640/700 PPM.  It will only display in one at a time. 

5- What's the length of the sensor’s cable?

The length of the sensor’s cable is 5m.

6- Why would you want to set a different EC for day and night?

If you were growing leafy greens in a greenhouse, you may want to lower the EC for the peak of the heat/sun. The plants will be transpiring faster and could show tip burn. 

7- Is the twin relay box separate or together?

This is a separate purchase. If you want to connect it to the IntelliDose to plug in an irrigation pump.

8 - Are the relay box outlets controlled separately?

Yes, you could run two separate irrigation pumps on two separate irrigation timers from one IntelliDose and one Twin Relay box (Sold Separately).
