AROYA GO unboxing, spot check check-in, working with slabs, & much more!

In this week’s session Jason did a live AROYA GO unboxing, gave the growmies a rundown of the easy setup, then got right back to the business of answering your burning cultivation and crop steering questions! This is our last show of the year but fear not, Office Hours will be back in 2024!

Check out a few of our favorite quotes from the session:

AROYA GO Install

“The CLIMATE ONE station..it's going to be wired over power over Ethernet, needs 48 volts DC with the included power adapter, just plugs into 120 volts. It'll turn on and that will be that bad boy….Then we've got the AROYA dual-sensor Nose. And so included with that, it's going to be the wireless transmitter and then the two TEROS ONEs that are installed with it…The gateway will need to be plugged into wired Ethernet, just plug it right into your router, your modem, or a wireless bridge or extender that you have in your house or a small grow facility…We recommend it be within about 30ft of where you have the climate station or Nose installed...For the climate station, we have included also the ratchet strap. I always encourage people to get this hung up within about a foot of the top of their canopy.”

Does AROYA GO Need High-Speed Internet?

“That gateway should be able to plug into anything that you've got an ethernet cable to. Doesn't require a high-speed Internet connection, it just requires a high-speed connection. I have probably dozens of clients that end up being on either a four GLT or a five GLTE connection. I've had multiple of them use Verizon setups. I myself have actually had it set up through a 4g hotspot on Verizon. So you shouldn't have any issues there as long as you have an available ethernet port that's connected on that network.”

3-Gallon Pot Spot Check

“Usually, in a three-gallon, you can still use the sensor installation template tool and go from the edge of the coco. Typically, what we're thinking about there is making sure that you're not having irrigation channeling. If you're going to have irrigation channeling, you're always going to have some trouble getting a good representative measurement from the substrate. So if you get low-flow emitters, good substrate consistency – so is that cocoa blended well? Is it in good condition? That type of stuff – you can still go in the side in a three-gallon.”
