Discover how moisture content affects your cannabis revenue with our interactive calculator. Learn the delicate balance between weight, quality, and profit.
Your Dry is Holding You Back
When will your batch hit target moisture? Get precise moisture content measurements throughout your dry, so you can confidently plan your operations and maximize revenue.
The Challenge
Your Dry is Costing You
Without visibility into your drying process, these challenges are holding back your growth potential.
Operations Bottlenecks
Inconsistent dry times make it impossible to plan batch flow through your facility. Without knowing exactly when rooms will be ready, your entire operation gets backed up.
Resource Drain
Your team wastes valuable hours manually monitoring the dry process. As you scale, these inefficiencies compound - turning a manageable problem into a major operational burden.
Lost Revenue
Over-dried product means lost weight and degraded quality. Even small moisture inconsistencies add up to thousands in lost revenue per harvest.
Unpredictable Quality
Without the right data, every batch is a gamble. Inconsistent outcomes hurt your brand and make it harder to secure long-term contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Zone sensors and how they can help optimize your drying process.
Why do Zone sensors measure Moisture Content instead of Water Activity?
Both moisture content and water activity play critical roles. Moisture content represents the actual amount of water present and directly influences physical properties, weight, texture, and potency. Water activity is a critical safety measure checked after drying. Zone sensors focus on moisture content for real-time monitoring during drying to directly influence quality and marketability.
How do Zone sensors work?
Zone sensors measure the moisture in the stem to calculate bud moisture content. Growvera developed this precise algorithm by analyzing tens of thousands of data points, refining technology originally designed for academic research to cater to the unique post-harvest needs of cannabis.
How do Zone sensors measure bud moisture when they clip to the stem?
The stem and bud share moisture as water evaporates from the bud and leaf material. Zone takes advantage of this relationship to measure bud moisture while providing a strong mechanical connection to the plant via the stem.
How does Zone integrate with my current post-harvest operations?
Zone is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing post-harvest operations for easy deployment and management. Our service guarantee includes custom SOP support to ensure consistent processes.
How many Zone sensors do I need?
Growvera calculates the number of sensors needed based on your drying spaces, flower volume, and strain variety. It's crucial to monitor a representative sample of your total harvest for precise, actionable data. Our technical experts will help determine the optimal sensor quantity.
How do I sanitize my Zone sensors?
Use a clean cloth or lint-free wipe with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or other antimicrobial cleaning solution. Ensure no liquid seeps into the sensor electronics during cleaning. Never submerge sensors in liquid as this can damage their functionality.
How does Zone handle steel/concrete walls?
Zone sensors are engineered to work around signal attenuation caused by steel/concrete walls. Zone gateways are installed in the same room as the sensors to ensure stable and consistent data flow to the Growvera platform.
Why can't I select more than one strain per dry on my dashboard?
Growvera Zone only allows one strain per dry to maintain data integrity. This approach segments drying characteristics by strain, enhancing repeatability and accuracy. Growvera provides reliable, actionable data by mandating each strain or strain type be measured separately.
Why do you give average data and not individual sensor data?
Zone offers average data across your entire strain population in order to provide actionable insights on your whole harvest. This approach ensures decisions benefit the entire crop, not individual plants. If concerns about dry room hot spots arise, our Support Specialists are ready to assist with an in-depth analysis of your data.
