Environmental Indicator
A quick reference for understanding the ECPonics Environmental Indicator and how its color zones relate to enclosed growing conditions.
Designed for enclosed environments
Real-time environmental awareness
Know what your capsule is telling you
The Environmental Indicator helps you maintain stable conditions inside your capsule. Because ECPonics systems are enclosed, small temperature changes can impact plant performance faster than traditional setups.
Built to work with the ECPonics Capsule system.
Understanding the Gauge
The ECPonics Environmental Indicator displays temperature ranges, not a single fixed value. As temperature changes, color bands shift gradually around the arc. The active mode card determines which ranges are acceptable.
How the Color Changes
- The indicator reacts to ambient temperature
- As temperatures rise or fall, colors shift gradually
- Temperatures fall into overlapping ranges, shown as colored arcs
- There is no simple on/off color change — transitions are smooth
Temperature Zone Guide
Each zone represents a different environmental condition inside the capsule. Use this guide to quickly understand what the current color is signaling.
Blue — Cool Range
- Lower temperatures
- Acceptable short-term for tissue culture starter plants
- Too cold for active growth
Green — Moderate Range
- Balanced temperatures
- Commonly used for acclimation, germination, and propagation
- Typically the most stable operating range
Yellow — Warm Range
- Upper warmer temperatures
- Acceptable short-term in some modes
- Monitor closely
Red — Hot Range
- High temperatures
- Increased risk of dehydration and stress
- Avoid for most modes
