Cure And Dry Protocols
Cure and dry protocols are post-harvest handling procedures that significantly influence terpene retention and expression in cannabis flower. Proper drying (typically 7–14 days at 60–70°F and 45–65% RH) and curing (sealed container storage over weeks to months) slow chlorophyll degradation and allow volatile compounds to stabilize. Terpene loss accelerates under high temperature, excessive light, and humidity extremes; controlled conditions preserve aromatic complexity. Breeders and growers working with heirloom or terpene-rich lineages often document specific cure protocols to maintain strain-characteristic aroma profiles across batches.

Breeders developing terpene-forward cultivars rely on standardized drying and curing methods to accurately phenotype aromatic traits in breeding stock. Seed producers and lineage custodians frequently publish preservation protocols to ensure offspring express intended terpene profiles.
