Drying

Drying cannabis is an essential process in producing high-quality marijuana. The process involves reducing the moisture content of the harvested buds slowly. This process is crucial because it can significantly impact the final product's taste, aroma, and potency. In this wiki page, we will discuss the importance of drying cannabis, the proper methods to do it, and some tips to help you get the best results.

Trimming

Trimming is the process of turning raw cannabis flowers into a useable product. The point is to remove parts of the bud that have low amounts of THC and CBD. Parts that have been removed are often called shake or trim. Shake still contains some amount of THC so it can be used for making edibles or concentrates. There are many styles of trimming depending on preference and amount of flower that needs to be processed. Commercial operations vary greatly from home boutique cuts but ultimately it is up to the grower to decide what the final product of their cannabis looks like.

Curing

Curing is an essential process that takes place after the cannabis plant has been harvested. It involves the drying and aging of the buds to improve their quality, potency, and taste. The curing process is crucial as it helps to remove excess moisture and chlorophyll from the buds while preserving the terpenes and cannabinoids that give cannabis its distinct aroma and flavor.
