MJBizCon Best Practices for Post Harvest Production

The most often overlooked steps in the cultivation process—postharvest drying, curing and storage—have the potential to make or break a grower’s margins and end product. As the industry matures, so does the need for proper and consistent year-round processing. Attendees to this panel discussion will learn about the pitfalls of flower processing techniques gleaned from the legacy market, and why postharvest SOPs rooted in science and environmental-control technologies will improve their bottom line, operational efficiencies and ultimate end product. The panel’s experts will also dive into the breakthrough findings of the Cannabis Research Coalition that address increased terpene retention, macroscopic trichome alteration, shelf stability and the precise environmental conditions for achieving an ideal end product in post-harvest. Additionally, cultivators will gain insight about dialing in the water activity of flower, how to minimize the role of seasonal climate variances, and the perils of overdrying, which can degrade plant trichomes, dramatically…
