Curing with TerpLoc®
TerpLoc technology creates the perfect environment for maintaining quality and consistency in flower from packaging to purchase. However, its biggest attribute comes during curing. Unlike older methods of curing where the flowers would be agitated and ‘burped’ daily, TerpLoc automatically pushes out excess moisture and unwanted oxygen without damaging delicate terpenes. This creates the perfect environment for allowing both the cannabinoids and terpenes to mature.
“Cannabis once dried down properly, thrives and matures best in a stable, clean, high-CO2 environment, not one that is regularly being thrown off balance and forced to reacclimate,” said Ed Rosenthal, American horticulturist, author, and educator. “This is where Grove Bags come in.”
Simply place the properly dried flower into the bag, leaving ~25% empty as headspace, seal it, and allow the magic to happen from two weeks to as much as two months for optimal potency. Withthis technologydesigned around the plant’s physiological properties, the curing process becomes quite simple.
“After 2 weeks, you’ll have an early-stage cure that’s ready for use,” said Rosenthal. “At this level, you could consider the flower ‘finished,’ but patience will be robustly rewarded if you extend the total cure time.”
Why arecuring and dryingcannabis important?
Without these two finishing steps, the work that went into your freshly harvested cannabis is wasted.
Preservation of cannabinoids and terpenes
Proper weed drying keeps potency and flavor intact by preventing the degradation of cannabinoids and terpenes—a.k.a., the compounds primarily responsible for the plant’s aroma and potential therapeutic effects.
Prevention of mold and bacteria growth
Dry cannabis is free of excess moisture content, which means it has less risk of mold and bacteria growth.
Better smokeability
Cannabis drying results in a more even burn and smoother smoke or vapor, which enhances the overall consumption experience. It also allows the full flavor profile of the strain to emerge.
Easier handling and storage
Knowing how to dry cannabis will make handling and storage a lot easier for you, as it reduces the risk of mold during storage and ensures a longer shelf life for your final product.
A better curing process
Being able to dry marijuana properly ensures you’ll be set up for a successful curing process.
