Low Temperature Drying
Low Temperature Drying refers to post-harvest protocols where cannabis material is dried at reduced temperatures—typically between 45–65°F (7–18°C)—over extended periods. This approach contrasts with conventional drying methods that use ambient room temperatures or warmer conditions. Breeders and cultivators employing low temperature drying often report preservation of volatile aromatic compounds and cannabinoid profiles compared to faster drying cycles. The extended timeline (often 10–21 days) requires controlled humidity environments to prevent mold risk. This technique has become increasingly documented in breeding programs focused on terpene retention and phenotype stability.

Breeders working with phenotype evaluation and terpene mapping frequently employ low temperature drying to establish baseline aromatic and chemical profiles without thermal degradation. Seed companies and cultivators use this method to standardize post-harvest conditions when comparing lineage performance across generations.
