Specs & Basics
Setting Up For Success
See information above about which type of curing chambers are compatible.
We will provide a 4.5" diameter stencil. Use this stencil to find a spot on your container where the Droidcure will fit. The short side of a container will work best, but you can place it on the long side of a container if needed.
Once a place has been found that the stencil fits well (6mm distance on all sides from any and all curves or extrusions on the tub), punch a mark into the tubs' plastic at the center point on the stencil.
Then, using a 4-inch hole saw, drill backward until a hole has been created in the tub.
Clean up the frayed edges using sand paper, razor, or deburring tool. Be careful!
Unscrew the yellow bolt from the Droidcure, place the sensors through the hole into the tub, then screw the bolt back on. Tighten the bolt snug but do not over tighten. Making it "snug" will not need much force. The gasket works best if not squished too hard.
Directly into a wall: Droidcures have a USB-C outlet built into them, so you can plug them into an outlet using a USB-C cord that connects to a USB-C or USB-A wall wart (brick) with over 5 volts 3 amps capacity.
Using a USB-C or USB-A Power Strip: They can also be plugged in using a USB-C→USB-C or USB-A power strip; the strip must be able to provide 5 volts 3 amps per slot. With this method, one wall outlet could run 8+ Droidcures.
Wattage: Volts x Amps = Wattage. Therefore, the wall wort or power strip you are using must have a 15 Watt capacity. Specifically, it must have at least 5 volt 3 amp capacity. A product with a lower voltage or amperage will likely prevent the device from turning on.
Please Note: Droidcure devices have power negotiation so even if you use a cord & wall wart (brick) that have much higher wattage, it will still work. However, we recommend NOT using cords meant to charge laptops or high-power devices.
Yes! There are several great ways you can do this if you want to keep strains separated inside one curing tote.
One option is using stainless steel or other food-grade bins like the Design Ideas MeshWorks 8x14 Stacking Bin. (Two of these fit very nicely into one 14-gallon HDX tote - see photo below.) Make sure the bins you use have plenty of holes on all sides and, ideally, on the bottom too.
You can also use food-safe cardboard to create low walls, keeping them low enough that the Droidcure can still properly circulate. Don't make the walls higher than where the Droidcure sensor is.
However, do NOT use mason jars inside your tote; the buds at the bottom of the jars will get little to no airflow and risk getting moldy. Airflow throughout the Droidcure is crucial for curing.
The room in which you cure should have a relative humidity (RH) of at least 8% lower than the desired cure RH.
If you can't meet that requirement (i.e. if you don't have access to air conditioning or live in a very humid place), another option is to place the entire curing chamber in a humidity-controlled refrigerator.
Do not use Droidcure in a refrigerator that is not humidity-controlled.
Store your curing chamber in a space under 72°F for the best results.
The ideal temperature range is closer to 45-65°F, because that's where you get the least amount of terpene and THC degradation.
We don't recommend it.
Do not use Droidcure outdoors in direct sunlight or indoors near grow lights.
Because this devices is made from a corn-based bioplastic, it is composable with no toxic residues if left outside in the elements or under UV rays for prolonged periods of time.
Yes, as long as the refrigerator is humidity-controlled.
Yes! We recommend hang-drying your plants to around 65-69% relative humidity.
For cannabis, this is usually right around when the stem start being able to snap, or to almost snap.
If you put your material in too wet, you will get a warning message on the Droidcure.
Note: If your plant material gets too try before curing, you can also use Droidcure to re-hydrate it, using a moist sponge. Droidcure will slowly bring equilibrium between the sponge and plant materials.
That's entirely up to you. You can do a full trim before curing or wait until after. At the minimum, be sure to take off fan leaves and remove big stems.
During the Cure
Turning on your Droidcure device is easy.
First, plug the included USB-C cord and 90° adaptor (optional) into your Droidcure. Connect to your wall wort or power strip, and plug into the wall.
Press the power button on the top of your Droidcure device. Wait a moment for the device to power on; Do not press any buttons for a few seconds while it powers on, as this may cause you to enter calibration mode.
Set your Target Cure humidity by pressing the “up” and “down” yellow buttons. You can set it between 57% - 66% relative humidity (RH).
The ideal target cure RH % varies depending on your intended use.

Ultimately, it depends on how dense or fluffy your plant material is.
You can fill your tote up to the bottom of the yellow nut, or possibly fill higher as long as the plants are kept off of the sensor and there is still enough circulation space around the top.
For dense flowers, you can roughly cure about 1.5 pounds in a 7-gallon tote.
In most cases, no. Droidcure exchanges air very precisely, meaning you won't need a sponge most of the time.
However, there are 2 instances where you would want to add a sponge:
1) If you are trying to extend your curing time to further improve smell (especially if your drying phase happened quickly) add a barely-damp cellulose sponge to the back of your tote — not touching the bud.
2) If you are trying to rehydrate overdried bud, you should add a sponge. Click here to read our rehydration guide.
Yes, you absolutely can! Learn about the process we recommend by reading this article.
If you start with a proper dry, you should only need to rotate your plants/flowers once, around the 3rd day.
The Droidcure screen provides 3 pieces of information: your target cure (TC), current relative humidity (RH), and a 3.5-hour relative humidity chart which provides insight into the stage at which your cure is at. 
At the beginning of the cure, moisture quickly releases from the bud, and Droidcure frequently is exchanging air to slowly bring relative humidity lower. Therefore, the chart on your Droidcure’s screen will appear more volatile.
As the line flattens, it means your cure is almost complete. 
When the line is very flat and you get a “cure finished” message, take out your flower and move it into air-tight long term storage!
Drying your flower to just above your desired ending moisture content level will give you an excellent, slow cure between 1 - 3 weeks. Actual length of time will depend on the density of the flower.
Please note: Before you add your flower to the curing chamber, make sure to dry it as normal — usually done until the stems snap — or to roughly 68%.
Yes!
As the cure nears completion, you’ll notice the 3.5-hour relative humidity chart on the Droidcure screen will have evened out, no longer showing frequent fluctuations.
The “cure finished” message means your flower's moisture content has slowly stabilized and is ready for long-term storage/packaging right away.
Additional Consideration:
If your lung room has an RH value of a little under your desired cure down to 50%, your finished cure may remain stable for a few days up to a week.
However, it is important for those with much drier environments to check their Droidcure regularly to see if it's completed. If your lung room environment has a RH of LESS than 50%, the “cure finished” message could disappear in as little as 16-36 hours, meaning it may be getting over-dried if you leave it in the curing chamber too long. You can rehydrate it, but that's not ideal since it's extra work.
If you won't be there to monitor it and look for the "cure finished" message, we recommend using a full-sealing tote (like Husky brand) so it stays at the finished cure level for longer.
