Machine Operation Overview
A. GroSmart
BC Northern Lights has taken great pride in offering you the most state-of-the-art control center available. The
GroSmart control center is pre-programmed for you and will ensure that your plants have optimal levels of light,
air movement, CO
2
, and water/nutrient solution. Sometimes, you will need to tweak the programs for your spe-
cific environment, growing medium or personal goals. We’ll give you the basics and you can always call support
for a little help. The up position on the CO
2
switch is the override. It is used sometimes to blast a high amount of
CO
2
in your machine to kill bugs. Contact your BCNL Rep for more info on this.
Along with the GroSmart there are 4 rocker switches that will control all aspects of your grow. The top left rocker
switch controls the vegetation bulb and is set for either up 18/6 lighting schedule, or down to 12/12. The top right
rocker switch controls your flowering chamber and is set for either 18/6 (up position) or 12/12 (down position).
The lower left rocker switch will control your watering (down position will run the auto watering program) and is
used to drain your reservoir (up position will run for 20 min. and should pull the majority of water out of the reser-
voir). The bottom right rocker switch controls your CO
2
injection (down position will run the custom CO
2
program
once tank has been set-up).
The GroSmart is the heart and soul of your Producer. Please make sure that all rocker switches are in the
OFF
position before you plug in your machine.
If adjusting time or looking around at the program in your GroSmart, be careful NOT
TO DELETE THE PROGRAM! We will have to send you a new chip at a cost of $65.
Before you can start to enjoy using your new machine, you must first set the time. You can set the time on your
Producer only when all of your switches are off.
