Maturity is a simple observation. Is plant large or small. Still growing vigorously or stopped .
Soil moisture along will all other growing conditions is summed up in maturity. Otherwise irrelevant. After maturity apical meristem is responding to temperatures. A simple min/max temperature record will do. Or a nearby weather station that reflects your climate will also work.

Without soil moisture data, I'm convinced temp and maturity isn't
enough, especially with highly variable soil texture (gravel to clay
with everything in between) and without digging and re-setting every
year, or at least every other year, not to mention variations in weed
competition.
That kind of control and monitoring is for a younger healthier person or 
a more comfortable summer climate.  ;-)

I don't know how people in southern Alabama, MS, GA, LA survived the
summer before AC.
