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 – how much, how often, and when to water. The result: less waste, more yield, consistent crops, better profits.
Now available: 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 factors in runoff data and field capacity to make 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 match plant needs as they change.
Intelligent irrigation reduces manual oversight, improves consistency, and helps your team stay aligned with your crop steering goals – without needing to fine-tune schedules manually.
Still prefer manual scheduling? 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. But they’re stuck using two platforms – OpenSprinkler to control irrigation, and Excel to analyze data.
Not anymore.
OpenSprinkler users can now control irrigation through AROYA. That means one system for tracking, managing, and scheduling – at every stage of growth.
Here’s what it does:
• Schedule 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, not superstition.
• 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. Found a schedule that works? 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.

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.
