Cannabis Curing
Balancing timing and technique
The Facility
In order to cure your harvested product, it needs to be placed in a dedicated space that will supply the plant with the proper airflow and conditions that it needs no matter the external environmental factors.
The Steps
Proper curing is a long process, but the harvest trains keeps on moving on a farm where you've got multiple rooms at different stages of the flowering process, not to mention all the up and comers in the nursery. As a result, the curing process must continue elsewhere if dry rooms are needed for fresh plant.
Multi-Purpose
Having spaces that can be used for both processing and curing can be a saving-grace in the heat of the busy season in mixed light and outdoor facilities. By having a place to properly burp and flip flower while curing, it allows one to maximize the quality coming from your flower
It all begins in Cultivation
When labor is available, steps can be taken in cultivation to "lighten the load" a bit on the rest of the curing and processing teams down the line. This is all aimed at improving efficiency to free up time for other activities that will ultimately increase yields and quality such as more stringent de-leafing as well as increase amounts of airflow reaching curing product.
