As the cannabis market matures, consumers are becoming more educated and looking for benefits beyond high THC. They are demanding better flavor, aroma, consistency and overall experience. The cannabis industry must answer to this demand and evolve from quantity to quality. In an industry where low price and quantity over quality have been the rule, craft quality cannabis is finally assuming its place in the ranks. This shift means not only refining genetics and growing techniques but also optimizing post-harvest processes, and this is how Cannatrol’s patented Vaportrol® Technology can make a significant difference.

What Quality Means

Today’s cannabis buyers know exactly what they want. They can easily distinguish between premium and mediocre products at first glance. High terpene profiles and top-quality cannabinoids are not just empty phrases; they truly set the best products apart from the rest. At the same time, regulatory standards for moisture content and microbial safety are becoming increasingly strict. Traditional drying and curing techniques can lead to unpredictable results, resulting in inconsistent quality. In today’s competitive market, a brand simply cannot survive if customers cannot rely on receiving the same quality each time they buy flower from a dispensary. Cultivators who fail to prioritize quality risk losing customers to competitors who do.

Cannatrol Systems Deliver Better Outcomes

Post-harvest is a crucial aspect of the cultivation process, yet many growers treat it with little regard, often relegating it to poorly conditioned spaces. While nutrients, genetics, and lighting contribute to fifty percent of the equation, the remaining fifty percent relies on the critical steps of drying, curing, and storage. These processes elevate good flower to exceptional flower that customers will remember. The significance of proper finishing for cannabis is comparable to that of other refined consumer products, such as wine, scotch, and aged meat, among others.

Unlike conventional HVAC-based systems (think mini split and dehumidifier), Cannatrol’s Vaportrol® Technology tackles control of water activity directly using the power of vapor pressure.

The results speak for themselves:

• Faster Processing: Reduce your drying and curing times without compromising quality.
• Reduced Labor: Completely eliminate the burping process.
• Eliminate Danger of Over Drying: Once the flower reaches the target water activity, it is held at equilibrium, allowing you to control when to take down a room. No more weekend emergencies, saving you unexpected labor costs.
• Trichome Integrity: Experience 28% less trichome damage and 16% higher terpene retention, resulting in improved flavor and aroma in every batch.
• Longer shelf life and longtime stability: Maintain flower quality for a longer period without deterioration.
• Harvest Batch Consistency: Achieve uniform results and predictable outcomes, even across different cultivars.
• Increased Yields: Avoid unpredictable over-drying, which leads to higher yields.
