Low Temp Drying
Low-temperature drying refers to post-harvest processing where cannabis flower is dried at temperatures typically below 70°F (21°C), often in controlled environments with regulated humidity. This classification represents a preservation methodology rather than a genetic trait, focusing on maintaining volatile compounds and plant pigmentation during the drying phase. Breeders and cultivators utilizing low-temp drying protocols report that the process can help retain aromatic profiles and visual characteristics compared to standard drying methods. The technique requires careful monitoring of relative humidity levels—typically maintained between 45-55%—and extended drying periods of 10-14 days or longer. Low-temp drying has become increasingly documented in cultivation literature as growers seek methods to preserve strain-specific terpene expressions and cannabinoid stability post-harvest.

While low-temp drying doesn't directly influence genetic selection, breeders often recommend or specify drying protocols when releasing cultivars, particularly for strains bred to express delicate or heat-sensitive terpene profiles. Understanding how drying conditions interact with a strain's chemistry informs breeding decisions around terpene composition and cannabinoid stability.
