At GrowersReview, we believe every grower deserves professional-grade results. Led by Angelina Everly’s 15 years of hands-on experience in hydroponics and environmental automation, our mission is to bring technical transparency to the home grower. We don’t just “review” products; we audit them for efficiency, durability, and real-world yield. By bridging the gap between agricultural science and home-scale gardening, we help you build sustainable, automated systems that work as hard as you do.
Our Scope: The Lab Audit Framework
Every guide, tool, and review at GrowersReview is built upon eight strategic pillars designed to help you master controlled-environment agriculture:
- Greenhouse Engineering & Automation – Auditing structural integrity, climate automation, and thermal efficiency for year-round production.
- Hydroponic System Audits – Deep dives into NFT, DWC, and Aeroponics, focusing on oxygenation rates, flow consistency, and DIY scalability.
- LED Spectrum & Lighting Data – Technical analysis of PAR maps, PPFD consistency, and the true ROI of high-efficiency grow lights.
- Indoor Environment Control – Optimizing vapor pressure deficit (VPD), CO2 enrichment, and airflow dynamics for enclosed grow spaces.
- Nutrient Science & Water Chemistry – Precision protocols for pH stability, EC management, and custom nutrient blending for specific crop cycles.
- Precision Tools & Calculators – Utilizing our proprietary yield predictors and ROI calculators to turn grow data into actionable decisions.
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting Protocols – Systematic workflows for system sterilization, pest prevention, and hardware failure recovery.
- The Everly Shortlist – Our annual rigorous selection of the only gear that meets the “Audit Lab” standards for durability and performance.
The Audit Process: Beyond the Box
At GrowersReview, we don’t just summarize manufacturer specs. Every product that enters our lab undergoes a Three-Phase Audit:
- Phase 1: Technical Stress Test – We push hardware to its limits to test real-world durability and electrical efficiency.
- Phase 2: Data Validation – We use precision sensors to verify PAR maps, pH stability, and nutrient consistency against brand claims.
- Phase 3: The ROI Assessment – We run the numbers through our proprietary calculators to determine if the system actually pays for itself in yield.
