Welcome to Episode 123 of AROYA Office Hours LIVE!

I'm Kaisha, your host, joined by co-host Cian and our cultivation experts Jason and Seth.

Today, we'll look into the intricacies of water management in cultivation, focusing on rockwool media, proper sensor placement, and effective irrigation strategies to prevent plant stress and wilting.

We'll also explore how these practices impact yield and quality, and share tips on optimizing pot sizes, using data logging for accurate monitoring, and maintaining clean water systems to prevent issues like algae growth.

We've got insightful advice responding to queries from our listeners, including strategies for managing high EC runoff in coco-perlite mixes and understanding the delicate balance between water content and plant health.

Plus, we'll discuss the latest technologies in cultivation, like nano-bubble systems and isotherm models, to enhance your growing efficiency and product quality.

Stick around for practical tips, expert opinions, and a sneak peek into our preparations for MJ BizCon, where you can meet the team and see live demos of our cultivation platform.

Don't forget to submit your crop steering or cultivation questions for future episodes, and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform!
