FermentBox vs. other fermentation methods
Many hobby growers still ferment their flowers using traditional home remedies: in preserving jars, zip bags or even in simple cardboard boxes. At first glance, these methods are uncomplicated and inexpensive - but they have decisive weaknesses. Without targeted control over humidity, temperature and air circulation, the fermentation process is a gamble. Mould, a musty smell or a raspy smoke are often the result.
The FermentBox takes a different approach. It has been specially developed to take flower fermentation to the next level - Controlled, hygienic and reliable. The solid pine wood creates a natural microclimate, while activated charcoal filters neutralise odours. A ventilation unit and the included ProFerment powder automatically ensure the right level of humidity - without any complex technology.
Compared to improvised methods, you have to Do not open jars every day, You don't have to check any bags or rely on your gut feeling. The FermentBox® creates a constant fermentation space in which your flowers mature gently and evenly. The result: More flavour, better consistency and maximum preservation of active ingredients - without risk and with minimum effort.
If you value your harvest and prioritise quality, the FermentBox is a must-have. Instead of experimenting, it offers you Security, predictability and the best results - with every application.
Why is fermentation so important?
Fermentation is a biochemical process in which excess moisture, chlorophyll and other undesirable substances are broken down from the flowers. The aim is Mild flavour, more flavour and a Better durability. If carried out correctly, it significantly increases the quality of the end products.
Anyone who omits the fermentation step or carries it out carelessly is taking a big risk:
The flowers can be scratchy in the smoke, smell unpleasantly grassy or musty and, in the worst case, mould can develop due to residual moisture. Valuable terpenes and cannabinoids can also be lost, resulting in a weak or unbalanced flavour. In short: without fermentation, a lot of potential falls by the wayside.

Especially if you are new to the subject, fermenting flowers can be intimidating: measuring humidity, burping regularly, avoiding mould, controlling odours - all of this can quickly become overwhelming. This is exactly where the FermentBox® shows its strengths.
It was designed so that even beginners with no previous experience Ferment safely, hygienically and with little effort. The integrated air circulation, the odour-neutralising activated charcoal filter and the self-regulating ProFerment powder take the most important work steps off your hands - without any electricity or technical know-how.
Instead of experimenting with improvised jars or bags, with the FermentBox® you get a well thought-out solution that Sources of error minimised and provides you with a consistent, high-quality result. Simply fill, close - and wait.
What you need for the FermentBox
1. the FermentBox® itself
The centrepiece. The solid pine wood box provides an ideal microclimate, protects against light and temperature fluctuations and is odourless thanks to the integrated activated charcoal filter.
2. proferment powder (included)
The natural powder automatically regulates the humidity inside the box. Simply place in the tray provided - no measuring, no readjustment.
3. activated charcoal filter (included)
Reliably removes odours and makes the fermentation process absolutely discreet - ideal for the living area.
4. flowers in fresh condition
Important: In contrast to conventional methods, the flowers in the FermentBox® not pre-dried, but fresh or only slightly dried into the box. The residual moisture is desirable - in fact, it is a central component of the fermentation process. This allows targeted, controlled ripening to begin under optimum conditions without mould growth. The FermentBox® was developed precisely for this purpose: to refine fresh flowers safely and effectively.
5. optional: thermo-hygrometer
Necessary and helpful if you also want to monitor the microclimate. The FermentBox® also works without it, but if you like measuring, you can add a small hygrometer.
6. a little patience ⏳
Fermentation takes time - usually between 2 and 4 weeks. During this time, simply leave the box closed and let nature do its work.
What is ProFerment - and why is it so important?
Everyone knows the problem: You dry your flowers in the FermentBox. After the 4th or 5th day, the humidity suddenly drops to 50 %. This is too low - 60-70 % would be ideal so that the valuable flavourings can develop properly. This is exactly where the ProFerment from Bonsanto into play.
The ProFerment is a specially developed food-safe Salt powder. It is simply added to the FermentBox and ensures that the conditions remain stable during fermentation - especially the humidity. This creates a perfect climate in which your flowers can mature properly.
Why is this so important?
If fermentation is too dry or uneven, your herb can lose its flavour or even go mouldy. The ProFerment protects against precisely such problems. It helps to break down excess substances such as chlorophyll and brings the fermentation process into a natural balance.
Especially for beginners this is a big advantage: you don't have to worry about anything going wrong. ProFerment relieves you of a lot of uncertainty and ensures a flavourful, clean and long-lasting end product.
Clean air despite strong flavours
Fermentation in the fermentation box not only produces moisture, but also intense odours - especially with aromatic flowers such as cannabis. To prevent these odours from escaping, the box contains a Activated carbon filter integrated. The activated charcoal reliably binds the odour particles and ensures that the fermentation process continues. Odourless runs - without any chemical additives.
This is ideal if you are fermenting at home and don't want any unpleasant odours in your home. Although the fermentation box does not have a built-in fan, the passive air circulation in combination with the filter works very effectively. This creates a Natural microclimate, in which your flowers can ripen optimally - without any unpleasant odours from the outside.
