Installation and Operation Guide
How to use your Curidor™:
Preserving organic material is an Art.
Terpene Volatility is Science.
Combining Science with the Art of preservation is “Curing”.
● The Primary Drying Phase is the initial post-harvest process of removing the majority of
moisture from the organic material. The duration of this process can differ depending on
the material’s density, volume, and influence of ambient conditions, but most often takes
between 0 and 10 days. Using dehumidifiers, fans, or ideally a CurePro™ system, to dry
the material in a controlled space, this phase removes the majority of the material’s
moisture content.
● The Secondary Drying Phase, is the phase when the moisture which remains deep inside
the material is removed slowly, and the material’s exposure to ambient air is diminished.
Using large containers or vessels a technique commonly referred to as “burping”, is used
to expel the residual moisture by frequently opening the container to allow a brief
exchange of air. This “burping” process is best accomplished by storing the container
inside your Curidor™ to protect the volatile terpenes and precious characteristics (color,
flavor, and potency of the medicinal constituents) of the material from degradation.
This process will vary greatly depending on the varietal, density, and volume of the
material, but typically takes between 10-20 days. *This is where you become the artist: by
controlling the burping frequency and duration.
● Storage: Upon completion of the drying process to your preferred moisture content
(most often between 9-12%), the material is finally ready to be stored:
1. Consolidate your dried material into varietals and quantities that correlate with your
preferred consumption.
2. Using impermeable containers (water and air tight), fill the containers with the
material which you are wishing to store.
3. Be sure to fill in a way that the material is not crushed, but is filling/occupying the
space of the container as best as possible.
Note: We recommend filling many smaller jars of the same product versus
fewer larger jars. This allows you to have a smaller quantity that you open
and consume at one time, ensuring the remainder of that batch of material
stays in optimal conditions and is not oxidized prematurely.
4. Seal the containers tightly, label, and place inside your Curidor™. Be sure to
organize your collection in a way that you easily understand. This will allow for
quick removal of product and avoiding frequent or long door openings, which can
offset humidity and temperature levels.
5. Enjoy your collection responsibly!
