A Vivosun Recipe allows you to configure the settings for your entire grow. You can set component settings for Seedling, Vegetative, and/or Flowering cycles. You can then run that recipe in any cycle, or schedule a cycle for a future date.
From the dashboard, click on the recipe view to go into recipe mode. If a recipe is currently running, you will go into that recipe. If not, you will see this screen.

From the dashboard, click in the Recipe Display. The recipe listing will be in the top-right corner of the screen.
The Vivosun application comes pre-loaded with a Photoperiod and Autoflower recipe. These recipes cannot be edited. These recipes can be used as a template to create your own recipes.
You can store unlimited custom recipes. In your own recipe library, click the + to create a new recipe. Swipe a recipe left to have the option to delete it. Or click on a recipe to edit that recipe, or to apply it to your garden.

You can schedule any stage of the recipe to start on a specific date and time.
Start from the dashboard by clicking on the recipe display.
