Cannabis curing with TerpLoc

Growers around the world know the importance of cannabis curing, and industry entrepreneurs are constantly learning how to curate cannabis more efficiently. The post-harvest process is just as vital as the cultivation process itself. If shortcuts are taken at any stage, the potency, quality and value of the flower may diminish.

If a plant is not sufficiently dried before its buds are cured, the integrity of the flower may be compromised. Starting the drying process once the buds have reached an ideal moisture level is just as important as the curing process. Drying also involves the removal of chlorophyll from the buds. This allows essential chemical reactions to take place, helping the flower to reach its full potential.

Growers work hard to create crops with quality genes, and preserving organic chemicals is essential for successful cultivation. Knowing how long to cure cannabis, the controlled environment best suited to curing and the nuances of curing different strains can help brands stand out from their competitors. With the right technology, growers can optimize their curing process and achieve consistent results.

TerpLoc technology creates the ideal environment for maintaining flower quality and consistency, from packaging to purchase. Its main strength lies in the drying process. Unlike previous drying methods, which involved shaking and burping flowers every day, TerpLoc automatically eliminates excess moisture and unwanted oxygen. This creates the perfect environment for the cannabinoids and terpenes to mature.

Once the cannabis plant has been cut from its roots, growers begin the post-harvest process. Before curing, the plant must be placed in a drying chamber. During the drying and curing processes, excess moisture is removed from the buds. This discourages anaerobic bacteria and microbial growth, while extending the product's shelf life.

Simply place the properly dried flower in the bag, seal it and let the magic happen for two weeks to two months for optimum potency. It's that simple. Properly dried and cured cannabis brings out the best qualities of the cultivar, helping brands and home growers make the most of their harvest.
