Why speed ruins a batch
The compounds that give cannabis its smell are volatile: they leave at the same temperatures that drive off water. Force-drying with heat or moving air gets you to a sellable moisture content in three days and costs the batch its aroma permanently. Nothing downstream recovers it.
What the eighteen days look like
- Seven to ten days hanging in the dark at around 60°F and 60% humidity.
- Into sealed glass, opened daily at first so the remaining moisture in the stem can equalise out into the flower.
- Opened weekly thereafter, until moisture and water activity both read in range on the panel.
- Only then is it jarred for sale.
How you can tell
A properly cured flower snaps rather than bends, smells like itself rather than like hay, and does not sting the throat. A rushed one is often greener to look at and disappointing to open.
This is not medical advice. Nothing here is a
therapeutic claim, and nobody at Cannalab47 is qualified to give one. Cannabis
affects people differently. Adults 21+ only.
