In the competitive cannabis market, the quality of the final product is paramount. While cultivation receives most of the spotlight, the post-harvest process—specifically drying and curing and ultimately storage—plays a pivotal role in defining quality cannabis. Traditional curing methods leave much to be desired, resulting in inconsistent and sometimes poor quality. With Cannatrol, we bring a patented scientific solution designed to perfect the art of cannabis curing by ensuring that the water activity (aw) is meticulously maintained at 0.6. This precise control upholds the safety and efficacy of cannabis, preventing issues like mold and physical damage. Additionally, this environmental stability plays a crucial role in safeguarding the appearance, aromatics, and quality of the flower.
Understanding the History of Cannabis Curing and Why It Matters
Curing cannabis is not just post-harvest; it’s a critical process that can significantly impact the quality, potency, and consumer satisfaction of the final product. Traditional methods involve hang-drying, labor-intensive burping, and handling, followed by a period of storage in containers. These methods require careful monitoring to avoid issues like mold, over-drying, or uneven results. Despite the best efforts of the cultivators, these methods often result in the loss of terpenes, reduced potency, and inconsistent quality.
Cannatrol, A Revolution in Cannabis Curing
Cannatrol stands at the forefront of curing technology, offering a proven scientific solution to the finishing process. With our patented Vaportrol® Technology, Cannatrol systems provide precise control over the drying and curing environment, ensuring ideal conditions for cannabis preservation. This technology sets a new industry standard.
Benefits of Using Cannatrol for Curing Cannabis
Retain More Terpenes
Terpenes produced and retained in the trichomes, responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis, are compounds easily lost during traditional curing. Our precise environmental control results in up to, on average, 16% more total terpene retention than conventional methods. Read the Terpene Study to learn more about the research!
Maximize Potency
The potency of cannabis is determined mainly by the concentration of cannabinoids, which can be lost by improper drying and curing. Cannatrol systems minimize the decarboxylation of essential cannabinoids such as THCA, CBD, and CBC, preserving their levels and ensuring a potent product by retaining the integrity of the trichomes.
Reduce Time to Market and Labor
Our efficient and streamlined process significantly reduces the labor and time involved in drying and curing, allowing commercial growers to save on operational costs and accelerate time to market. This efficiency does not come at the expense of quality; it enhances it, offering a win-win scenario for growers and consumers.
Increase Yield
By preventing over-drying and ensuring consistent, optimal curing conditions, our cannabis maintains more of its weight, potency, and aesthetic appeal. This leads to higher yields and increased profits for you, making a rapid ROI.
