NIDO LAB: The Advanced Platform for Complete Control of Your Cultivation

Growing plants in soilless systems demands control, accurate data, and reliable tools. NIDO LAB was created to meet these needs, offering a powerful, intuitive online platform that lets you analyze, manage, and optimize every stage of your cultivation. All from a single panel, accessible by computer.

Dashboard Overview

Upon logging in to NIDO LAB for the first time, you’ll see a summary dashboard displaying all real-time readings from your setup:

  • Nutrient solution pH
  • EC (electrical conductivity)
  • Air temperature and humidity
  • Water temperature

In the small panels, you’ll find quick actions managed by the connected plugs:

  • Switch lights on/off
  • Activate irrigation
  • Turn on heating
  • Manage extractors
  • Use humidifiers/dehumidifiers
  • Dose pH correctors and fertilizers

You can view historical data charts by selecting a specific time range — from the last 12 hours up to one week — or choose a custom period based on your analysis needs.

This homepage is your starting point for real-time management and monitoring of each cultivation phase, with exceptional accuracy. By analyzing data trends, you can quickly spot anomalies or spikes, gaining a clear, detailed, and continually updated snapshot of your cultivation’s status.

 

📊 Analysis and Exportable Data

All cultivation data can be downloaded in Excel format, allowing you to analyze, share, or compare multiple growth cycles. This is extremely helpful for those wanting to optimize their nutritional strategies and log every detail of the entire growth process.

The Left Menu: All Functions Explained

In the left-hand menu, you’ll find several options to customize and analyze your system’s performance:

  • 🔐 Permissions: Decide who can access and control the device, assigning different roles (administrator or read-only) to multiple users.
  • 🔗 API: This section allows you to link NIDO with external software via APIs, aimed at advanced users who want autonomous data management, integration into custom control systems, or just the ability to view data on third-party platforms. Access is read-only, meaning you can extract NIDO’s generated data (pH, EC, temperature, humidity, water temperature) but cannot modify it or send commands.
  • ⚙️ Settings: One of the most important sections, containing the device’s advanced configurations. Here, you’ll find all the options related to NIDO ONE V2’s automatic behavior—customizable parameters designed to adapt the system to your specific crop type, chosen fertilizers, and desired control level.

The “Settings” Section

Adjustment (Responsiveness)

In general, NIDO takes 4 to 8 hours to reach the set parameters. Within this section, you can specify how rapidly NIDO responds to changes, balancing correction speed and accuracy:

  • Fast: NIDO intervenes in every control cycle. Ideal if you need immediate corrections, though slightly less precise.
  • Standard: The recommended default, offering a good balance between speed and precision, suitable for most crops.
  • Slow: NIDO does not intervene during every cycle, favoring precision over speed—ideal for stable systems with slow parameter variations.

This setting is particularly useful for adapting the system to different growing conditions, each with unique nutritional needs or growth rhythms.

 

pH and EC Concentration

In Settings, you can also set the concentration for products used to adjust pH and fertilizers (EC). This ensures that NIDO ONE V2 doses each product according to its “strength” or “dilution,” such as:

  • High concentration: If the product is very strong, NIDO will dispense smaller amounts of liquid.
  • Standard: The default setting, ideal for most liquid mineral fertilizers and commonly used pH correctors.
  • Low concentration: If your solutions are quite dilute, NIDO must dose more liquid to achieve the intended effect—a safer option for those who prefer gentler, more easily handled mixtures.

Temperature and Humidity Hysteresis Settings

NIDO LAB also lets you adjust an essential parameter for climate management: hysteresis. This is the tolerance range the system respects before activating or deactivating an automated action linked to temperature or humidity.

Hysteresis prevents overly frequent on/off cycles for fans, heaters, or humidifiers, which could damage the system or lead to unnecessary energy use.

  • By default, temperature hysteresis is set to 2°C.
  • Humidity hysteresis is set to 10%.

Both can be easily changed via a dropdown menu:

  • Temperature range: from 1°C to 5°C
  • Humidity range: from 3% to 20%

Notifications: Fertilizer Refill and Water Level

NIDO LAB also allows you to enable or disable automatic notifications. Under Notifications, you’ll find two options:

  • Refill fertilizers/acid: When active, this alert notifies you as soon as any cartridge (fertilizer or pH corrector) approaches its minimum limit. That way, you have time to replenish it and avoid the system running out of product.
  • Water Level: This notification warns you if your water tank is too low. It helps keep the circuit from going dry, safeguarding the pump and maintaining system continuity.

 

Conclusion

NIDO LAB is not just a control interface; it’s a platform designed to give experienced growers powerful, professional-grade tools for soilless cultivation. In a sector where precision, reliability, and adaptability matter above all else, using a platform this robust means managing your grow with greater insight and control.

Ultimately, NIDO LAB is the natural choice for those looking to run their operation at a professional standard—backed by data and reactive controls at every step, from continuous monitoring to fine-tuning advanced settings.
