Join us on this deep dive into the Art and Science of the post harvest process.

The course objective will be to teach concepts and techniques of modern cannabis processing that will allow you to create the highest quality product that also achieves the greatest possible profit by controlling moisture loss in a very precise manner.

This course is designed for Owners, Managers and Cultivators working in a commercial setting.

The Current Standard Process consists of drying the cut flower rapidly with dehumidification set in the low 50% range. Most people know to keep the temperatures on the cool side, but few have exact targets for Temperature, Humidity, or Time. Curing is a mysterious process that is often skipped. Curing, if done at all, usually takes place in a closed bin or bucket that gets opened and exposed to the room air for a small portion of the day. This process is called “burping” the bin. Very few people have any way to measure moisture in the buds. Very few know what happens during the curing process, or how long it should take. Very few have exact protocols to preserve Terpenes. Very few know what happens in the “burp bin” technique. Very few have ever seen any scientific studies done on the process. In general, the whole process of drying and curing is filled with guesswork and rumors passed down from previous generations. The vast majority of the finished product is over 10% too dry – which means 10% of your annual income literally evaporated.

After Taking This Course every mystery will be broken apart and analyzed in simple terms that anyone can understand. You’ll learn a new way to measure and chart the progress of your crop as it moves from a fresh plant all the way to packaging. At every step of the process you’ll have measurable targets that let you know if your crop is on track, or needing a little adjustment. You’ll experience new ways of thinking about terpenes and how to preserve them. Along the journey you may find new information that has you tossing out your burp bins and completely redesigning your drying, trimming and curing rooms. The end result will be a strong understanding of what is happening to your flower product at every step of the journey and you’ll come away knowing exact environmental targets for each stage. The mystery will be gone and in it’s place will be a very exacting scientific process that any employee can follow. Your know how to dry and cure your flower to the perfect moisture content with every possible terpene still intact. The goals of this course is to teach you how get the most possible income for all your hard work, and the best possible product for your end users.
