Refrigeration Methods
Refrigeration methods in cannabis preservation focus on maintaining terpene profiles and cannabinoid stability over time. Low-temperature storage (typically 32-45°F / 0-7°C) slows oxidation and microbial degradation, helping volatile aromatic compounds persist longer than room-temperature conditions. Breeders and seed banks commonly employ cold storage for genetic material, while cultivators use refrigeration to extend the viable storage window for dried flower and concentrates. Proper humidity control paired with refrigeration reduces terpene loss more effectively than temperature alone. The choice between standard refrigeration, deep freeze, or vacuum-sealed cold storage depends on intended storage duration and material type.

Breeders rely on refrigerated seed banks to preserve genetic viability across growing seasons and maintain accurate phenotype records. Cold storage protocols are essential for maintaining terpene expression data when evaluating and comparing strain lineages over multiple generations.
