Unfortunately, the old tried and true ways are still best here. We use the
pin-hole method, where you puncture one leaf stem on each plant (labor
intensive) and measure the distance from that to the end of the leavef. Later
on you come back and measure how far it has grown. This way is also very
cheap, since all you need is a pin, a ruler, and a worker (usually a graduate
student).
