Controls

Why Controls?

Precision control is the foundation of next-generation cannabis cultivation.

Lighting is no longer a fixed input—it’s a dynamic tool that directly influences growth rate, morphology, cannabinoid development, and terpene expression.

Modern control systems allow cultivators to optimize every micromole, delivering exact light levels, spectra, and timing to match each plant’s needs.

With advanced lighting control, growers can:

Improve product quality:

Maintain consistent, science-backed spectral balance that drives potency, aroma, and visual appeal.

Increase yields:

Deliver the right light intensity and spectrum at the right time to maximize photosynthesis and plant efficiency.

Enable data-driven recipes:

Integrate lighting data with environmental controls to refine light strategies for measurable results.
Whether you manage one room or an entire facility, controls are how you transform light from a static input into an adaptive growth engine—driving higher performance and greater profitability crop after crop.

GrowWise Control by Fluence empowers cultivators to:

  • Improve and standardize quality: Maintain consistent light delivery while using data to refine recipes that enhance potency, terpene content, and visual appeal.
  • Maximize yield efficiency: Adjust spectral intensity and scheduling to match plant development, energy pricing, and environmental conditions.
  • Accelerate learning: Use historical data and feedback loops to correlate light strategies with measurable changes in yield, morphology, and chemistry.
  • Scale intelligently: The same platform supporting one grow room can expand to thousands of fixtures across global facilities.
  • Future-proof operations: Modular hardware, cloud connectivity, and API integration keep your facility ready for AI-driven optimization and sustainability reporting.

Fluence controls don’t just help standardize quality—
they continually improve it.

By uniting lighting science, automation, and real-time data, Fluence helps cultivators grow smarter, stronger, and more sustainably—harvest after harvest.
