Key Steps in the Curing Process
- Drying: After harvesting, cannabis should be dried to a moisture content of about 60-65%.
- Initial Storage: Store the dried cannabis in an airtight container at room temperature for the first two weeks.
- Secondary Storage: After two weeks, transfer the cannabis to a cool, dark place with stable humidity and temperature.
Optimizing for Flavor
For the best flavor, it's important to control the humidity and temperature during the curing process. A relative humidity of 62-68% and a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) are ideal.
Final Considerations
Regularly check the cannabis during curing to ensure it's not spoiling or over-curing. Proper curing can significantly enhance the flavor profile of cannabis.
