AROYA Office Hours LIVE

In Episode 150 of AROYA Office Hours, AROYA's Director of Applied Technology Jason Van Leeuwen joins host Cian for a deep dive into two of AROYA's newest cannabis cultivation sensors: the Drip Drain Station and the AROYA pH Sensor.The AROYA Drip Drain Station gives cannabis growers real-time visibility into irrigation shot volume, runoff volume, EC, and temperature — data that was previously only available by manually checking catch cups. The team walks through live client data showing how the station's Daily Feed Integral (DFI) metric helps growers pinpoint exactly when field capacity is reached, optimize P1 and P2 irrigation schedules, reduce nutrient waste, and eliminate the guesswork that comes with manual monitoring at scale. The Drip Drain Station is also the foundational technology for AROYA's upcoming intelligent automated irrigation programs.The episode also introduces AROYA's brand-new pH sensor — the first always-on, continuous pH monitoring sensor in the AROYA ecosystem. Compatible with the Drip Drain Station or deployable as a standalone batch tank kit, the sensor delivers 24/7 time series pH data directly inside the AROYA platform alongside EC and volumetric water content readings. Growers no longer need to rely on manual handheld pH pens or sporadic snapshot readings. The sensor runs on a five-year battery, requires calibration only once a month, and can alert cultivators to pH drift, doser malfunctions, and nutrient imbalances — even remotely.Whether you're a commercial cannabis cultivator looking to automate your irrigation strategy, reduce labor costs, or gain deeper insight into your root zone health, this episode covers how AROYA's cannabis sensors are transforming cultivation data from a manual chore into a continuous, reliable data stream.

In this episode of Office Hours Live, hosts Cian and Jason are joined by Valin, Lab Director at Endless Biotech, to discuss the front lines of the pathogen crisis in cannabis. Valin shares his journey from soil science to building high-level tissue culture (TC) labs and explains how TC serves as a "reset button" for genetics infected by Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) and endophytic pathogens.The conversation emphasizes the critical importance of aseptic technique and the role of meristem extraction in ensuring clean plant stock. Valin also highlights how data from Aroya sensors supports lab success by maintaining healthy mother plants and preventing fungal outbreaks through precise drybacks. The episode concludes with a look at the future of cultivation, including the use of bioreactors, cryo storage, and robotic automation to scale clean production

Cian and Jason return for Episode 148 to dive deep into the technical nuances of modern cannabis cultivation. This episode tackles two major "mysteries" currently buzzing in the community: why electrical conductivity (EC) sometimes drops during a dryback—challenging long-held grower assumptions—and the complex biology behind stress-induced hermaphroditism. The duo explores the transition from the legacy Teros-12 sensors to the more accurate Teros-1, explaining how improved data sensitivity reveals the true relationship between plant feeding and substrate concentration. They also answer live listener questions regarding PPFD levels for ripening and how to manage environmental "swings" to prevent crop failure.

In this episode of Office Hours, hosts Cian and Jason go international to explore the unique cannabis landscape of Malta, the first EU country to fully legalize adult-use cannabis. They are joined by Kearny Attard, Founder and Director of a leading Maltese social club, a premier cannabis harm reduction association.Kearny shares his personal journey of how cannabis helped him manage ADHD and depression, leading him from opening a head shop to navigating Malta’s complex regulatory hurdles. The conversation dives into the "social club" model, the challenges of building a high-grade facility on a small island, and Kearny’s ambitious strategy to export genetics across Europe, South Africa, and Panama. This is a must-listen for cultivators looking to understand the evolving global market and the lessons American growers can learn from the European reform movement.

In today's episode, your hosts Jason, Seth, and Kaisha delve into a wide range of topics and respond to some fascinating listener requests. They discuss everything from optimizing irrigation techniques and the importance of monitoring pH levels, to the benefits of smaller media for better root development. They also explore the ever-evolving landscape of LED lighting technology in the cannabis industry and the crucial factors to consider when choosing the right lights for your grow room. Also, they dive into the delicate balance of quality versus quantity in cultivation, the role of CO2 levels during day and night cycles, and the potential risks and challenges faced by growers when it comes to pests and diseases. Let's dive right in!

This week, host Cian Sullivan teams up with resident cultivation expert Jason Van Leuven to bring you an information-packed session focused on advancing your cultivation game. In this episode, the duo takes listeners through the latest updates to the AROYA mobile app, highlighting how its new features are streamlining daily operations for cultivators everywhere.Plus, Cian and Jason tackle community questions, including an in-depth discussion on thermal imaging, cultivation transitions, and the evolving science of plant monitoring. They discuss hot topics, such as using Far Red under-canopy lighting to accelerate plant senescence and the buzz around experimenting with a 13-hour flowering light cycle to potentially boost yields without extending total flowering times.Alongside their signature practical advice, they explore both familiar and more experimental strategies cultivators are using to unlock better results, from everything in the light spectrum to emerging conversations about brix levels.

In episode 144, host Cian sits down with Jason Van Leuven and Cory Desloge, Director of Cultivation at Harbor House Collective, Massachusetts, for a look into modern cultivation.
