Low Heat Drying
Low Heat Drying refers to a post-harvest preservation method that uses reduced temperature and extended time to cure cannabis flower and biomass. Breeders and cultivators employing this technique typically maintain drying environments between 50–65°F with controlled humidity (45–55% RH) over 10–14 days or longer, rather than conventional warm-room drying. This classification is often associated with efforts to preserve volatile terpene profiles and maintain chlorophyll degradation patterns that some producers believe influence final aroma and stability. Low heat drying is frequently discussed in craft cultivation and genetics preservation circles, though research on specific strain outcomes remains limited. The method requires careful environmental monitoring and is commonly applied across multiple strain families rather than being strain-specific.

Breeders working with terpenoid-rich lineages sometimes document low-heat drying protocols as part of their phenotype expression documentation. Seed banks and preservation programs may reference this drying standard when stabilizing genetics, as it can influence how secondary metabolites present in subsequent generations.
