It is critical to assure flowers are dried, cured and stored in a clean, controlled environment. Cannatrol take the guess work, the myths and the ‘broscience’ out of the post harvest process. The Cool Cure is designed to consistently deliver the perfect drying, curing and storage conditions for your harvest. Vaportrol® Technology creates an environmental equilibrium that protects and preserves terpenes and potency. Flower will remain sticky, supple and tasty for months and months. No shake, no overdrying.
Cannatrols patented Vaportrol® Technology controls the process with gentle water removal using the power of vapor pressure. Program the conditions you prefer and the length of time. Extend the cure to your liking!
Vaportrol Technology retained 16% more total terpenes than the traditional drying method. Specific terpenes such as Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Myrcene, cis-ocimene, and B-Caryophyllene showed significantly higher concentrations in the Cool Cure method, with increases ranging from 6% to 23%.
The study found that the traditional drying systems are subject to large environmental fluctuations, which can adversely affect flower quality. In contrast, the Vaportrol system was able to maintain more stable environmental conditions, minimizing spikes in temperature and humidity that can lead to decarboxylation and terpene loss.
Your unit will arrive preprogrammed with default settings that have been tested and proven. The process starts with gentle, controlled water removal. The dry cycle will run for 4 days and the cure cycle for 4 days. You have the ability to change the temperature, dew point and cycle duration based on the cultivar and your own preferences!
A cure could last anywhere from 4-30 days (and beyond) depending on the cultivar and your personal preferences. Select your temperature and dew point and the Cool Cure cures your harvest in a perfectly controlled environment for as long as you like! no maintenance. You can customise the temperature, dew point and duration (although the factory settings are tested and proven to deliver great results).
Note that the Cool Cure will operate best at ambient room temperatures of 23 degrees and below. Wet load should not exceed 1KG.
The size of the Cool Cure unit: H 71.75cm x W 45cm x D 52cm
Do not clean with bleach or harsh chemicals!! If needed, wipe down the inside with warm water and use the can of compressed air that came in the stash box to clean out the drain hole.
While you do not have to, the drying process will be faster if you do in addition to trimming the buds off the branches. If the branches are left on, the drip pan will need to be emptied more as there will be more free and available moisture for the unit to remove.
Yes! You can store your harvest in jars or any vessel that is open to the environment inside the Cool Cure. The unit can be left in standby mode for storage use. We set it to 68/54 and store in vapor permeable paper bags or open containers- make sure to keep the sponge damp and you’ll have fantastic flower for months to come!
The Cool Cure ships with 6 shelves. Adding shelves DOES NOT increase the total capacity of the unit, 1KG of wet flower maximum at a time!
The user manual explains the default settings which are a 4 day dry at temperature 20°C and dew point 12ºC then 4 day cure at temperature 20°C and dew point 11ºC. We always recommend starting with factory defaults and then customizing settings from there. The system is fully programmable.
The Cannatrol Unit draws 70 Watts.
