AI & Horticultural Information Disclaimer

AI Features

The Growers Guild provides two AI-powered features: the AI Grow Mentor and AI Plant Diagnosis. Both generate responses based on your plant data and general horticultural knowledge.

Informational, Not Professional Advice

All AI-generated guidance is informational only. It is not:

• Legal, medical, veterinary, or health advice;
• Professional agricultural, botanical, toxicological, or laboratory advice;
• Electrical, fire-safety, or pesticide guidance;
• Financial advice; or
• A guarantee of accuracy — AI can produce incorrect or incomplete information.

No Guaranteed Outcomes

We do not guarantee any specific outcome from following AI-generated guidance, including yield, potency, plant health, pest or disease prevention, harvest success, or legal compliance. Cultivation results depend on many factors outside our control.

Results May Be Inaccurate

AI models can misidentify plant issues, suggest inappropriate treatments, or fail to account for your local climate, laws, or specific cultivar needs. Always:

• Verify important recommendations with your own observations.
• Cross-reference with reputable grow guides or local experts.
• Research the legality of any suggested substance or method in your jurisdiction.
• Start small — test any new treatment on a small portion before applying broadly.
• Consult licensed professionals for legal, medical, electrical, or pesticide matters.

Journal Facts Transparency

When practical, the AI Grow Mentor displays the journal facts (feeding logs, sensor readings, and journal entries) used to generate each answer. This helps you verify the AI's reasoning against your own knowledge of your grow.

Horticultural Information

Non-AI horticultural content in the Grow Guide and community posts is contributed by community members and may not be professionally reviewed. Treat all growing advice as starting points for your own research, not as definitive instructions.

Your Data & AI

Your plant data and questions are sent to our AI processing provider to generate personalized responses. Processing of your data by the AI provider is subject to the provider's terms and configuration as contracted by us. We advise you not to submit unnecessary identifying information when using AI features. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

No Liability

The Growers Guild and its operators are not liable for any plant loss, crop damage, health consequences, legal consequences, or other outcomes resulting from following AI or community-generated guidance. You are solely responsible for your grow decisions. See our Terms of Use for the full warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability.
