Low Temp Drying
Low-temperature drying is a post-harvest technique where cannabis flowers are dried at reduced temperatures (typically 50–65°F / 10–18°C) over an extended period, often 10–21 days. This approach aims to preserve volatile aromatic compounds that can degrade or evaporate at higher temperatures. Breeders and cultivators employing this method often report retention of more delicate terpene profiles compared to standard drying practices. The technique requires controlled humidity and air circulation to prevent mold and uneven drying. Documentation of low-temp drying outcomes remains largely anecdotal within breeding communities, though preservation of heat-sensitive terpenes like limonene and pinene is the stated objective.

Breeders selecting for specific terpene-forward phenotypes frequently employ low-temperature drying to evaluate the full aromatic potential of their lines without thermal loss. This practice helps distinguish subtle aromatic differences between related cultivars during strain development and quality assessment.
