VOP Panel Series 2025 | FUELING THE FLAVOR: Dry & Cure Science🗓️ Drop Date: 1/16/26📝 Topic: Fueling the Flavor, Dry & Cure Science🎙️ Hosted by: @voiceoftheplantDrying and curing are not finishing steps, they are the final biological negotiation between plant tissue, environment, and time. This episode of the Voice of the Plant Panel Series brings together cultivators, data scientists, and post-harvest specialists to examine how flavor is either preserved or quietly lost once the lights turn off.The conversation centers on water activity versus moisture content, controlled ramping versus rushed throughput, and why post-harvest must be treated as a continuation of cultivation, not a handoff. At scale, variability compounds quickly. The panel challenges the idea of perfection and instead focuses on designing systems that can absorb mistakes without sacrificing flavor, combustibility, or shelf stability.With perspectives informed by real-world commercial operations and tools from Grove Bags, Aqualab, and AROYA, this discussion reframes dry and cure as measurable, repeatable, and accountable processes rather than intuition or tradition.Recorded live at MJBizCon, this episode is for cultivators who care about flavor holding up under scrutiny, not just smelling good on harvest day.🎤 PanelistsJoe Cimino@goodgrns | @yourhighness_maLiam Spencer@theflyingliamur | @aroya.ioKevin Crouch@madtrichome | @powrhouse.caliJJ Yang@grovebags_🎛️ ModeratorSergio Picazo@sergio_thecustodian
