About the Hydro-X Pro (HSC-2)  

TrolMaster revolutionized environmental control when it introduced the Hydro-X. The Hydro-X Pro continues the revolution with a 10’ touch-screen and web-based software. With the Hydro-X Pro, growers can customize their environment with enhanced web-based software, set calendar reminders for crop consistency and expect increased garden safety with notifications received through the TrolMaster App. 

Customize Your Environment

Customized programming allows an almost limitless degree of control. Each indoor variable (temperature, humidity, CO2, lighting) can be controlled independently, meaning a customized ramp-up or ramp-down can be used to closely simulate natural outdoor conditions, or simply allow complete customization of the environment. Displayed on an easy-to-read and construct “graph” it allows the user to have 100% control of their environment.

Calendar Presets

Another powerful feature of the Hydro-X Pro is the built-in calendar and calendar presets that allow users to schedule an entire crop’s schedule within the Hydro-X Pro. Calendar preset settings including lighting, temperature, humidity, CO2, and timers and can be specified by the user as they “build” their multi-week crop schedules. Reminders can also be programmed to ensure critical tasks are not forgotten. 

Control from a Distance 

The TrolMaster App will also allow for notifications with separate day/night limits to be received by the user. The web-based software provides easy access and more advanced remote control. Onboard data acquisition and the ability to store and share settings between multiple devices, means that user-defined programs & settings can be saved and loaded into multiple Hydro-X Pro units with ease.
