Cure Protocols
Cure protocols refer to the post-harvest drying and storage methods that shape cannabis flower's final aroma profile. Proper curing—typically involving controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow over 2–4 weeks—allows chlorophyll breakdown and terpene maturation, influencing perceived scent complexity. Different cure techniques (slow dry, jar curing, controlled-environment curing) produce distinct aromatic outcomes even from identical genetics. Breeders and cultivators document cure results to understand how environmental post-harvest conditions interact with a strain's inherent terpene expression. Cure protocols are not part of genetic selection but significantly impact the sensory evaluation of breeding work and phenotype assessment.

Breeders studying terpene stability and expression often standardize cure protocols to ensure consistent aroma evaluation across phenotypes and batches. This control allows accurate documentation of strain aromatic character independent of harvest-handling variation.
