Control the root zone.
Sensor-driven irrigation control for serious cultivators.
Growbud unifies lab-grade substrate sensing, AI predictions, and local-first control into one stack, closing the loop from water content and EC readings to valve and dosing pump. Built for high-value operations where every gallon, every hour of labor, and every point of yield has to be earned.
You can't control what you can't see.
Every day, cultivators run irrigation on timers, drifting probes, and gut feel, burning water, fertilizer, and yield in the gap between what the substrate is doing and what the controller knows.
Open-loop irrigation
Timer-based schedules can't react to what's happening in the substrate. Plants get over- or under-watered between manual checks, whether that's a 500-acre field or a 20-zone greenhouse.
Unreliable feedback
A control loop is only as good as its sensor. Most probes are built for standard fields and have poor accuracy in the high-salinity conditions of hydroponics and certain soils, corrupting every irrigation decision downstream.
No connectivity, no insight
Remote fields, basements, and outbuildings often have no WiFi or cell. Cloud-tethered systems leave you blind exactly where the crop is, and where automation matters most.
The control stack, end to end.
Sense, decide, and act on one platform. Growbud pairs lab-grade substrate probes with local-first control logic so irrigation keeps running accurately and automatically, even when the cloud doesn't.
Sensing layer you can trust
Lab-grade VWC, EC, and temperature with no drift, engineered for high-salinity hydroponics and arid field soils. The control loop is only as good as the data feeding it.
Local-first control
Growbud Edge runs the loop on-prem. Irrigation decisions don't depend on the cloud, so the system keeps working when WiFi or cell coverage doesn't reach the crop.
From substrate to valve
One stack from probe to dosing decision. Sense, decide, and act on the same platform, or integrate with the irrigation and fertigation hardware you already own.
Smart enough to act before you do.
AI predictions, leaf-image analysis, and a multi-source data synthesizer turn raw sensor streams into irrigation decisions, running on Edge, on-site, in real time.
AI predictions
Forecast dry-back timing, EC drift, and irrigation demand hours ahead. The control loop acts on what's coming, not just what's happening now.
Leaf image analysis
Computer vision spots stress, deficiency, and disease before substrate readings catch it. Visual evidence feeds straight into irrigation and feed decisions.
Data synthesizer
Substrate, environment, and vision data fuse into a single signal the controller can act on. No toggling between dashboards or spreadsheets.
One closed loop, end to end.
Sensors read the substrate, gateways carry the data, Edge decides, and the controllers act. Every cycle, every zone, automatically.
One control stack. Every high-value crop.
Cannabis rooms, vegetable greenhouses, berry blocks, vineyards, and orchards all run irrigation differently, but they all need the same closed loop.
What closed-loop control delivers.
Automated dry-backs
Hit dry-back targets without watching the dashboard. Pulse irrigation triggers off real substrate VWC, every cycle.
Closed-loop fertigation
Pore EC drives nutrient delivery in real time. Stop salt buildup and lockout before they cost yield.
Lower labor cost
Replace manual zone checks and timer adjustments with control logic that runs 24/7 on-site.
Every zone, one dashboard
Outdoor blocks, greenhouse benches, indoor rooms: all controlled and monitored from one place.
