We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Scott Mills, Droidcure Developer and CoFounder, a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Scott, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

That’s a good question. It really came from a combination of a personal need and a long-standing passion for creating and developing new tools and systems. When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, it hit home for me how important it was for her to have a trustworthy source of medicine. I started growing my own cannabis, and while that was the initial catalyst, I realized my purpose was bigger than just that—it’s about using my skills to create and to make people’s lives easier—whether that’s helping my sister feel better throughout treatment, or making the tedious parts of growing easier for home cultivators.

Growing cannabis was a labor of love, but the curing? That was a headache. I had this ridiculous number of jars, endless burping, and I was constantly worried I’d ruin all my hard work. As someone who loves to travel, I hated being tied to my home just to babysit jars. That’s when I had the “a-ha” moment: what if there was a way to automate this whole process? I was driven to a point of pure frustration and realized there wasn’t a single product out there that did exactly what I needed. That was the seed for Droidcure, and it aligned perfectly with my purpose to create solutions and make life easier.

Even once I had the idea, I had to fight my imposter syndrome. I love to create, but designing a professional product with components and PCBs was new for me. The first Droidcure was hand-soldered, and when I moved on to designing circuit boards for manufacturing, I hit a wall. I felt like I just didn’t have the knowledge and was ready to give up. But a friend in the industry looked at my work and told me I was on the right track; I just needed a fresh perspective. He taught me so much. I overcame that by surrounding myself with people smarter than me—people who could teach and help me grow. And, of course, lots of late-night research and books, all fueled by my love for learning.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

My professional story with Droidcure really began with that personal pain point, which became the basis for a business. What’s so exciting and special about Droidcure is how it directly solves that problem. It takes away the stress of the curing process and gives people back their time. It’s a highly accurate tool, which is something that has normally been inaccessible to home growers. We are changing that.

For me, the most inspiring moment wasn’t creating the first prototype, but seeing the early feedback from other people who got their hands on it. I knew Droidcure worked for me, but seeing it work for others, hearing how they loved how accurate and easy it was to use—that was truly special.

My goal was always to create a product that was high-quality and took away the stress of the curing process. We believe growing is about nurturing life, not babysitting your cure, and that belief has been validated over and over again. People can now focus on the fun parts of the grow, knowing they’ll get a consistent, premium end product every single time.

And this is just the beginning. I’m always thinking about what’s next in the product pipeline. We’re already developing more solutions, with some exciting things coming soon that are designed to make the growing and post-harvest process easier and more accessible for everyone.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I’d say the three most impactful qualities for me have been persistence, curiosity, and the willingness to ask for help.

First, persistence. Specifically, persistence in gathering data. It’s a skill I picked up from both my biological and adopted dads. It’s all about analyzing something, getting your data points, and then analyzing it all over again. You keep doing that until you get consistent results. That’s when you know you can finally do something with that information. This isn’t just about Droidcure; it’s a life skill. It’s about not settling for one answer—and believing that you don’t fully know something until you get the same results over and over again. This has helped us make Droidcure the best it can be, and it helps in every other part of life, from automating our grow operations to my other passions. It’s a truly enlightening way to make truths about your environment.

Second, curiosity. My personal struggles with insomnia and ADHD meant I often had all-night research sessions, which led me to dive deep into everything about cannabis. That curiosity is what led me to question the status quo of curing and ultimately to create Droidcure. My advice is to never stop being curious. If something seems inefficient or you don’t understand it, dive in and learn.

Finally, the willingness to ask for help. When I hit that wall with designing the PCBs, it was a friend who helped me see I was on the right track. I overcame my imposter syndrome by surrounding myself with people smarter than me; people who could teach me and help me grow and ultimately find my confidence. My advice here is to let go of your ego. You don’t have to know everything. Find people who are great at what they do, listen to them, and learn from them. It’s the fastest way to grow.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Absolutely! Our vision is to get Droidcure into the hands of all home growers and small commercial craft growers who would benefit from high-quality solutions that don’t break the bank. We’re always looking to collaborate with stores that share our values and help us share knowledge with customers who want to garden and grow. Those interested in getting in touch can email me at [email protected].

The vision is bigger than just Droidcure, though. We want to collaborate with other like-minded engineers to provide other products that are on par with or even better than what’s currently available but are more accessible. We want to do better for the growing community as a whole. Ultimately, we’re here to help people grow with confidence, and we want to find people who are just as passionate about that as we are.

We felt so energized connecting with all of you and sharing how Droidcure can take the frustration and guesswork out of the curing process to deliver consistent, top-tier results.

We heard the same great questions repeatedly, so we wanted to share the answers—and a few things that got people the most excited.

Your Top 3 Questions, Answered

How does it work? Droidcure automates the entire curing process, removing the guesswork from start to finish. After drying your flower, simply attach Droidcure to a tote, toss in your harvest, and set your desired relative humidity (RH) level. The device then takes over, slowly and algorithmically burping the tote until the moisture has stabilized at your preferred level.

What size container can Droidcure handle? Droidcure can handle containers up to 27 gallons, making it perfect for both home growers and large-scale cultivators. You can choose the size that best fits your harvest. Here’s an article about selecting your tote.

How long does it take? While every cure is different, most are complete within 1 to 3 weeks, with 2 weeks being the most common. The time can vary depending on bud density and quantity. For smaller amounts, it may take less time—and you can add a damp sponge to help slow it down if needed.

Additional FAQ’s can be found on our support page.

The post A Harvest of Connections: Key Takeaways From Minnesota’s 2nd Annual Doobie Dabbler appeared first on Droidcure.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Scott Mills.

Hi Scott, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?

My story, like many innovators, started with a personal frustration. I have been a cannabis home grower for many years. I love the process of nurturing these plants and seeing each strain develop in their own unique ways, but the post-harvest curing phase had been a struggle.

For those who are unfamiliar, curing is a necessary post-harvest step where moisture is stabilized and chemical compounds slowly break down and off-gas, which ultimately helps the smoothness and flavor of the smoke.

I was manually curing in jars, burping them daily—opening them to release built-up gas. It wasn’t unbearable, but it tethered me to home and relied heavily on guesswork, revealing a glaring lack of precision in this crucial step.

I needed a simple, reliable way to automate curing, initially just for myself. I built a prototype, shared it on Reddit, and the reaction was intense. People bluntly told me to “take this down and patent it immediately”. I knew I was onto something.

From there, it was a whirlwind of development, patenting, and launching Droidcure. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m still learning every day.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?

I admit, it’s been a little bumpy. Launching an invention with zero outside investment is a constant uphill battle. That has probably been the biggest obstacle.

There’s also the technical challenge of perfecting the product, the manufacturing hurdles, and the sheer amount of work involved in building a brand from scratch. There were countless nights spent troubleshooting, refining, and figuring out how to make Droidcure as user-friendly and reliable as possible.

Another struggle for entrepreneurs that doesn’t get talked about enough is overcoming the initial self-doubt. When you’re building something new, you’re constantly questioning yourself. But the positive feedback from the community has inspired me and kept me going.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Droidcure is all about simplifying the cannabis curing process for home growers. We specialize in automated moisture stabilization, taking the guesswork and hassle out of curing.

Plant material naturally tries to balance its moisture with the air around it. Droidcure uses algorithms to manage that balance, accurately curing the plant material to a target relative humidity of the user’s choice, between 57-66% RH.

What sets us apart is our focus on simplicity and reliability. We designed Droidcure to be incredibly easy to use, with no internet or cloud connectivity for maximum privacy. It just works. You set your target humidity, connect it to your curing chamber – whether it’s a storage tote or a wine fridge – and it takes care of the rest. Plus, it’s energy-efficient and reduces single-use plastics such as grow bags; we value being as environmentally friendly as we can.

I’m very proud of the fact that Droidcure solves a real problem for home growers. It gives them back their time and peace of mind. We’re not just selling a product; we’re offering a solution that allows people to enjoy the full experience of growing their own medicine without the risks that come along with curing.

We want readers to know that Droidcure is built with the home grower in mind – it’s reliable, affordable, and designed to make your life easier.

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?

First and foremost, my co-founder and partner, Natalie Hilscher, has been instrumental in our success. Her experience in marketing and unwavering support these past few years have been invaluable.

Then there are Bob and Erin at CannaJoyMN, seed bank in Minneapolis. They took a chance on Droidcure early on, and their enthusiasm and support have been a huge boost to our visibility. They’ve been amazing advocates in the community.

And of course, we can’t forget the Reddit community! Those initial reactions gave me the push I needed to take this idea seriously.

Lastly, the constant stream of feedback from users has helped us refine and improve Droidcure. It’s a testament to the power of community, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been a part of this journey. Thank you for supporting us, and in return we plan to continue supporting you!

The post Inspiring Conversations with Scott Mills of Droidcure by Voyage Minnesota appeared first on Droidcure.

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, she began using synthetic THC pills from the pharmacy to help her cope with the treatments. I also didn’t want her using cannabis from some random person (not knowing their growing environment or chems used) while she had a compromised immune system from chemotherapy. I felt a dire need to know that she had access to the best possible cannabis medicine for pain, nausea, etc. at a time when access to trustworthy cannabis was not readily available.

Put it this way: would you trust moonshine made in your Uncle Billy’s friend-of-a-friend’s basement? Maybe. But I probably wouldn’t.

The same logic applies to cannabis, only there are so many more variables. There’s a world of difference between a carefully cultivated plant and something grown recklessly, using nutrients containing heavy metals or other harmful chemicals, or pesticides containing actual poison instead of using warrior bugs to kill pest bugs.

I know things have improved, but that initial fear of the unknown shaped my perspective.

That’s why having a connection to your grower is so important to me. Whether it’s a large-scale operation or a home grower like myself, knowing where your cannabis comes from is essential. Home growing is a labor of love. I know exactly what goes into every plant I cultivate, and I want that same peace of mind for everyone.

I didn’t get good at growing overnight. In the beginning, I remember having 2 tiny terracotta pots with the leggiest seedlings you’ve ever seen. My girlfriend’s cat ate one of them. So we grew one spindly plant in a closet (Blue Shark, if I remember correctly) and it produced a bud, like a few grams, but I was so proud and it did the job. It didn’t last very long though, seriously it was like 10 grams of flower with a bad hair cut.

One of the few perks of having insomnia and executive disfunction-type ADHD was that I was able to research cannabis almost every night (all night) and never stopped. Now, I’m so excited to be part of the legalization movement and to share my own contribution to helping other growers like myself.

Throughout my experience with growing, curing was one of my biggest pain points. An annoying amount of jars, endless burping, and the constant worry of ruining my hard work turned what should have been a celebratory moment into a stressful ordeal. As an avid traveler, being tied down during curing was also terrible.

So, I built Droidcure.

At first it was just for myself to solve a need I had. But when I shared it on one of Reddit’s smaller cannabis subs, it was a wake-up call. Hundreds of people telling me to “delete this shit, idiot” and patent my idea? That’s when I knew I was onto something big, especially when I could make it with better sensors than other products and make it myself so the pricing could match what home grow pricing should be. And so I did; I deleted it and got a patent.

Thank you, kind redditors, for the push!

Droidcure isn’t just a product; it’s a solution to a problem that’s been plaguing growers for too long. Growing is about nurturing life, not babysitting jars, or paying commercial prices for subpar equipment.

Launching a new company without any investors is tough, but the incredible support from the growing community keeps us going.

Your belief in Droidcure means the world to us, and we’re committed to making a product that exceeds your expectations.
