e-Gro is an automated platform that is based on Grodan’s 50-plus years of precision growing and cannabis cultivation knowledge. e-Gro helps you optimize your entire growing facility from propagation through to harvest and processing, including the mother plants. e-Gro gives you the power to view sensor data from all grow rooms in your facility as well as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as overnight dry back, time since last irrigation, room temperatures, and relative humidity. You can track every batch from mother plants through to harvest. You can also create custom alerts, so you are notified the second something goes outside of your preferred range. Grodan.com

Aquamat (Soleno Textile)
The Aquamat irrigating capillary mat has been specially designed for the cultivation of container plants. Contrary to conventional irrigation systems that can result in up to 80% water loss (too fast drainage or loss between plant spaces), Aquamat allows water to be captured and stored inside the capillary mat. Custom-made for each production run, it provides many advantages to increase the overall performance of operations while reducing the impact on the environment. SolenoTextile.com
