Medical Cannabis Operation
(Mississippi, USA)
The Problem
This Mississippi medical cannabis operation lacked a formal curing process. Product moved quickly from drying to market, with no strict SOP for curing or burping.
Nothing was visibly broken. There were no major failures, and flower was reaching the market. But the team wanted improved consistency, better moisture retention and stronger overall quality across everything they sold — and without a defined cure, those things came down to timing and judgement rather than a repeatable standard.
The Solution
Cure Puck provided automated environmental monitoring and control that integrated smoothly into the existing harvest cycles. Nothing about the grow had to change to accommodate it.
The system offered real-time visibility through the app, which let the team establish a defined 10-day cure duration with consistent results across batches — and across the 3 to 4 strains running through any given harvest.
The Results
- Improved bag appeal and stronger aroma retention flower presents better and holds its terpenes.
- Better bud texture and feel the direct payoff of managed moisture retention.
- Positive feedback from trimming crews the people handling every gram noticed the difference in product quality.
- Early mold risk detection on certain strains a signal in time to adjust the process, not a post-mortem.
- Reduced guesswork and simplified workflow a defined cure replaced judgement calls.
- Plans to expand to 12+ Cure Pucks from the 9 currently in operation.

| Consistency | Variable batch to batch | Consistent results across batches |
| Bag appeal & aroma | Room for improvement | Improved bag appeal, stronger aroma retention |
| Bud texture | Moisture retention not managed | Better bud texture and feel |
| Mold risk | Caught late, if at all | Early detection on certain strains, with process adjustments |
| Units in operation | — | 9 Cure Pucks, expanding to 12+ |

Glossary
- Cure Puck
- App-connected curing device from Twister Technologies that monitors humidity in real time inside a cure container and runs the burp schedule automatically.
- Burping
- Opening a cure container by hand to release moisture and exchange air. Done manually it depends entirely on who is available and when.
- Cure duration
- How long flower is held in cure before it is released. This operation standardised on 10 days.
- Bag appeal
- How finished flower looks and presents to a buyer. It is shaped heavily by how the cure was managed.
- Moisture retention
- Holding the right water activity in finished flower. Too dry costs weight, texture and aroma; too wet risks mold.
- Aroma retention
- Preservation of terpenes through drying and curing. Aggressive or unmanaged cures strip it.
- Curing SOP
- A written, repeatable standard for how a cure is run. Without one, results vary batch to batch regardless of grow quality.
