Learn how to take your homegrown harvest to the next level with the revolutionary Twister Cure Puck. This automated curing device uses smart sensors to monitor and control humidity, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a perfect cure every time. Join host Kyle Kushman and Twister CEO Jay Evans as they demonstrate how cutting-edge post-harvest technology can preserve maximum flavor and aroma in your flower.

• How the Cure Puck stabilizes temperature and humidity swings, protecting your harvest from mold or overdrying.
• Ways the device automatically “burps” out excess CO₂ and controls VPD to optimize curing conditions.
• Tips on when to move your buds from drying to curing, and how to gauge the ideal moisture content (no more brittle or overly wet flower).
• The benefits of a hands-free curing process – set it and forget it, with data tracking and alerts via the Cure Puck app.
• Why proper curing is just as important as growing: improve taste, aroma, and shelf life of your flower with the right technique and tools.

• Cure Puck – a smart, automated curing device by Twister Technologies – controls humidity and “burps” out gases (like CO₂) to ensure a perfect cure for your harvest.
• It uses precise sensors and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) control to maintain ideal conditions. The device can even pull in moisture from the environment when it’s too dry, keeping your flower at the optimal water activity (~0.58) for curing.
• Developed through years of R&D (inspired by manual curing techniques), the Cure Puck automates the entire curing process and eliminates guesswork. Growers get a hands-free, “set it and forget it” experience without needing to open jars or manually burp containers daily.
• The Cure Puck works with containers from small mason jars up to 30–50 gallon drums, making it useful for home growers as well as commercial producers. It’s a robust post-harvest tool built with highly accurate sensors, a connected app/web portal, and data logging for remote monitoring.
• Drying vs. Curing: Proper drying is still essential before using the device. You’ll learn how to judge when your flowers are ready to cure (e.g. crispy leaves, near-snapping stems, ~60–63% internal humidity). The Cure Puck then fine-tunes the final moisture over 10–14+ days, preserving flavor and aroma while preventing mold or “off” smells.
• Using the Cure Puck leads to better tasting, smoother, longer-lasting flower. It helps bind remaining moisture into the buds slowly, which enhances flavor, aroma, and overall quality (comparable to top-shelf results). No more worrying about mold or an overly dry end product due to environmental swings.
• Benefits & Insights: The device provides peace of mind and consistency. You can monitor your cure via the app from anywhere (it will even send alerts if conditions drift). This not only protects your homegrown harvest but also teaches you about your drying/curing process – many growers realize where their drying could improve by seeing the Cure Puck’s data.
• Twister stands by the Cure Puck’s effectiveness with a 60-day trial period (money-back guarantee). It’s an investment in quality that serious growers (recreational or medicinal) appreciate after spending months cultivating their plants. As the saying goes, you should put as much care into drying and curing as you did into growing – and this device makes that much easier.

AC Infinity is revolutionizing indoor grow room automation with its latest smart grow technology ecosystem. Brand specialist Brandon from AC Infinity showcases how the new Controller AI+ – an AI-powered environmental controller – works with the AC Infinity app to dynamically adjust your grow tent climate by regulating fans, lights, pumps, and more. This intelligent controller learns your environment, smoothing out temperature and humidity swings (optimizing VPD) and eliminating the need for constant manual tweaks. We explore how these innovations make indoor growing easier and more efficient, giving growers the power to monitor and fine-tune conditions remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth right from a smartphone. In addition to the AI controller, the video introduces AC Infinity’s wireless UIS dongles that eliminate cable clutter by linking devices to the controller over a secure 2.4 GHz signal. We demonstrate how one controller port can now manage multiple fans or lights wirelessly, streamlining your grow tent setup. You’ll also see the new AI Power Strip, a smart outlet strip that lets you automate grow devices and plug-in sensors (like humidifiers, heaters, or CO₂ monitors) even without a main controller – an affordable entry point for smart grow automation. The discussion highlights AC Infinity’s upgraded Cloudray S2 oscillating clip-on fans (Gen2), built for continuous 24/7 operation to keep air flowing, as well as their long-awaited smart dehumidifiers (in 3L, 5L, and 7L models) that maintain ideal humidity levels and even allow you to recycle the collected water for your humidifier. Finally, we touch on AC Infinity’s comprehensive product lineup – from grow tents, LED lights, and climate controllers to nutrients (in partnership with Athena) – solidifying their status as a one-stop shop for fully integrated indoor grow systems. Throughout the interview, we emphasize AC Infinity’s dedication to quality, innovation, and customer support, including active community engagement via the weekly “AC Infinity After Dark” podcast and frequent product giveaways.

Kyle Kushman hosts a special Tentchella 2025 Growing at Home Q&A livestream, sharing grow tent setup advice, advanced lighting insights, living soil tips, and harvest timing guidance. This candid session covers everything from dialing in your indoor environment (using smart controllers for temperature, humidity, and CO2) to optimizing LED light levels with a PAR meter for efficient growth. Kyle also opens up about his first crop failure in 35 years and the changes he made to prevent pests and mold, highlighting his strict cleanliness and integrated pest management practices (like using Microbe Lift and starting plants from seed or tissue culture). Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced home grower, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on organic cultivation. Kyle discusses his switch to living organic “super soil,” explaining how pre-amended soils and dry organic nutrients (Gaia Green, worm castings, etc.) make feeding as easy as “just add water.” During the audience Q&A, he answers questions on when to harvest (by checking trichomes for that milky-to-amber sweet spot), managing nutrient cycles with organics, and even multi-tent setups. The tone is warm and informative, packed with personal stories, practical grower tips, and encouraging advice to help you grow your own successfully at home.
