Grow Weed at Home with Kyle Kushman
How to Get the Perfect Cure for Your Harvest!

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.

Smart Grow Room | Tent Edition

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.

Ed Borg and Kyle Kushman

Kyle Kushman and his longtime friend, Ed Borg reflect on 30+ years of growing history and culture. They share stories from the early outlaw days, trade hard-earned cultivation wisdom, and reveal how their community grew from an underground movement to a global phenomenon. This candid conversation blends practical grower tips with colorful tales, making it a treat for both home growers and cultural enthusiasts. They reminisce about sneaking 4:20 smoke sessions in the stairwell at High Times magazine back when public herb use was totally forbidden. They also recall the legendary pilgrimages to Amsterdam for the annual Cup events – a time when a tight-knit family of pioneers would reunite under the radar for the love of the plant. Beyond the nostalgia, the discussion covers how passion for cultivation has taken them across the world. A fateful offer from a Dutch coffee shop gave one guest the chance to move to Amsterdam and pursue his dreams openly. Meanwhile, Kyle describes leaving New York for California during the early medical era, finally able to grow freely under Prop 215 after years of hiding. Fast forward to today: they’re swapping notes on running a licensed farm in tropical Thailand, complete with inventive tricks like solar-powered lights to handle the short 12-hour daylight cycle! Even after decades, these veterans are still learning new tricks and staying humble. They admit that unexpected challenges can make a master grower feel like a beginner again – they’ve even looked up basic cloning tutorials online when things go sideways. On the flip side, they marvel at how much easier things are now compared to the old days of prohibition. Back then, you might plant four just to end up with one (accounting for thieves, pests, or the law), whereas today passionate growers can finally cultivate openly and abundantly. Through all these changes, one thing remains constant: their love for the craft (and the plant) keeps growing stronger.01:54 – Secret 4:20 Sessions07:59 – Amsterdam Life-Changing Move12:01 – Master Grower’s New Challenges25:21 – Generational Growing ShiftEnjoyed the chat?
