Seed Curing
Seed curing refers to post-harvest drying and storage protocols applied to cannabis seeds to stabilize moisture content, preserve viability, and maintain genetic integrity over time. Unlike flower curing, seed curing prioritizes dormancy preservation and germination potential rather than flavor or aroma development. Breeders and seed banks employ controlled temperature (typically 15–20°C) and humidity (5–10% relative humidity) to slow metabolic activity and extend storage longevity. Proper seed curing prevents mold, reduces pathogenic load, and maintains stable germination rates across multiple seasons. This practice is foundational to seed banking, breeding stock preservation, and commercial seed production pipelines.

Breeders rely on rigorous seed curing protocols to preserve rare or foundational genetic lines and ensure consistent germination data across breeding cycles. Standardized curing conditions allow accurate phenotype selection and intergenerational trait tracking without viability loss.
