Low Temperature Drying
Low Temperature Drying refers to a post-harvest curing methodology where cannabis flower is dried at controlled temperatures typically below 70°F (21°C), often in darkness with regulated humidity. This preservation technique aims to minimize volatile terpene loss and enzymatic degradation during the drying phase. Lineage records and breeder documentation frequently report that slower drying cycles can preserve delicate aromatic profiles more completely than rapid, high-temperature methods. The approach requires extended drying periods—sometimes 10-14 days or longer—compared to conventional techniques. This method is commonly associated with artisanal cultivation practices focused on terpene retention rather than production speed.

Breeders developing high-terpene cultivars often collaborate with cultivation specialists who employ low-temperature drying to accurately assess the genetic aromatic potential of new crosses. Accurate phenotype evaluation of terpene-rich genetics depends on preservation methods that minimize post-harvest volatilization, making this technique relevant for proper strain characterization and lineage
