Low Temperature Cure
Low Temperature Cure refers to post-harvest drying and curing practices conducted at reduced temperatures, typically below 65°F (18°C). This approach contrasts with conventional room-temperature methods and is often employed by cultivators seeking to preserve volatile terpene profiles and maintain chlorophyll breakdown at a controlled pace. Lineage records and breeding documentation frequently reference low-temperature curing as a technique that may help retain aromatic complexity in final flower material. The practice requires extended timeframes—sometimes weeks longer than standard curing—and careful humidity management to prevent mold development while allowing enzymatic processes to complete.

Breeders working with aromatic or terpene-forward cultivars sometimes document low-temperature cure protocols in their seed stock specifications and grower recommendations. This methodology is particularly relevant in preservation and stability testing of phenotypes where volatile compound retention is a documented breeding objective.
