Don't lose track of a batch between harvest and the jar.
Once you harvest, GrowScope opens a separate drying-and-curing journal for that batch, with your own target day count for each phase, daily jar-burping reminders during curing, and a one-tap way to move on early when a phase is done before the timer says so.
The problem
Drying and curing are the easiest phases to lose track of — the plant is already down, the excitement has faded, and a forgotten jar or a rushed dry can undo weeks of good growing in a few days. Most tracking apps stop paying attention the moment you harvest.
Why it's hard to solve alone
A too-fast dry locks in a harsh smoke. A too-slow one risks mold. Curing without regular burping traps moisture unevenly. None of this requires guesswork — it requires not forgetting, on a schedule that a phone reminder handles better than memory.
How GrowScope helps
Each harvest batch gets its own drying-and-curing journal with a target day count you set for each phase. During curing, daily reminders prompt you to burp the jars. When a phase is actually done — the bud snaps instead of bends, the jar smell has mellowed — a one-tap "finish now" button moves the batch to the next phase immediately, instead of waiting for the countdown to reach zero. A readiness check runs before you mark a batch ready for long-term storage, and a harvest report questionnaire (weight, impressions) closes out the batch into your cycle archive.
How it works
- After harvest, a separate drying-and-curing journal opens for that batch, independent of the plant's day-to-day tracking.
- Set a target day count for drying and for curing — your own estimate, not a fixed rule.
- During curing, daily jar-burping reminders keep you from forgetting a step that's easy to skip once the excitement of harvest has passed.
- A one-tap "finish drying" or "finish curing" button lets you move to the next phase as soon as it's actually ready, without waiting for the target day count to elapse — the target itself isn't reset, you just don't have to wait on it.
- A readiness check runs before you mark a batch ready for long-term storage.
- A harvest report (weight, impressions) closes the batch into your completed-cycles archive.
What you get
Nothing about post-harvest gets forgotten between the last watering and the jar on the shelf — and you're never stuck waiting on a countdown once the plant itself tells you it's ready.
Frequently asked questions
What does the "finish now" button actually do?
It moves the batch to the next phase immediately — drying to curing, or curing to the harvest report — without waiting for your target day count to run out. Your target day count itself isn't changed or reset; you're just not stuck waiting on it once the batch is actually ready.
Do I get reminded to burp my curing jars?
Yes — daily reminders run automatically once a batch enters curing, and continue until you finish that phase.
Is the target day count for drying/curing fixed by GrowScope?
No — you set it yourself per batch, based on your own judgment or strain guidance. GrowScope tracks against your target and reminds you, but the number is yours to set.
Can I track multiple harvest batches drying or curing at once?
Yes — each harvest batch gets its own independent drying-and-curing journal, so tracking one doesn't interfere with another.
