Irrigation control with AROYA

Controlling irrigation is key to better yields, higher quality, and consistent profits. But in cannabis cultivation, control is hard to come by. Regulations are tight. Benchmarks are few.
That’s why data matters. Smart growers can use science to understand what’s happening in their plants and make smarter irrigation decisions, including how much, how often, and exactly when to water.
The result? Less waste, higher yield, consistent crops, and better profits.
AI-powered intelligent irrigation from AROYA
In addition to schedule-based control, AROYA now offers automatic irrigation based on real-time plant and substrate conditions.
Using the new AI-driven system, growers can set a cultivation goal – vegetative or generative – and let AROYA adjust irrigation automatically. The system collects data every few minutes from sensors in the substrate, including water content, electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature. It also takes into account runoff data and field capacity to inform its decisions.
Instead of following a fixed schedule, AROYA determines when to irrigate and how much water to apply based on current conditions. This helps prevent over- or under-watering and allows irrigation to better meet plant needs as they change.
Intelligent irrigation reduces manual oversight, improves consistency, and helps your team stay aligned with your crop steering goals, all without requiring you to fine-tune schedules manually (although if that’s what you prefer, AROYA has a tool for that too).
Cannabis irrigation scheduling with AROYA + OpenSprinkler
To hit the right crop steering cues, many growers use OpenSprinkler to automate irrigation affordably. However, because OpenSprinkler cannot analyze data, growers are stuck bouncing between OpenSprinkler and Excel, controlling irrigation with one and analyzing data with the other.
Not anymore.
OpenSprinkler users can now control irrigation through AROYA, which then analyzes growers’ data to help them make better decisions. That means one system for tracking, managing, and scheduling at every stage of growth.
With AROYA + Open Sprinkler, growers can take advantage of these features:
- Schedule watering by room, zone, or controller. Growers can automate irrigation in one room, many rooms, or specific zones, right from AROYA.
- Set it and let it run. Pick start times, durations, and frequencies for each irrigation event. AROYA handles the rest.
- Use real data, not guesswork. Create unique irrigation templates for every growth phase. Attach them to harvest groups and recipes so irrigation aligns with actual plant needs.
- Get alerts if something goes wrong. If a scheduled irrigation doesn’t happen, AROYA lets you know in time to fix it.
- Reuse schedules easily. If you find a schedule that works, you can reuse it across harvest groups in minutes using irrigation templates.
- Control everything in one place. With OpenSprinkler fully integrated into AROYA, you never need to switch apps or export data. And with built-in encryption, your data stays safe.
Do more with AROYA
For growers using crop steering, automation isn’t just about saving time – it’s a core part of their strategy. Cannabis is still farming. The brands that grow toward specific outcomes at scale will win.
