Description
The Berfelo Terpene Preservation Protocol:
🌱 1. KEEP IT COOL — do NOT dry cannabis over 65 degrees Fahrenheit
🌱 2. KEEP IT HUMID — relative humidity at or around 65 percent
🌱 3. TARGET aW (active water) — 55 percent in the bag — the SWEET SPOT
🌱 4. KEEP IT DARK — airtight room, no light exposure
🌱 5. KEEP IT SLOW — low and slow is the only way
🌱 6. KEEP IT SEALED — airtight environment preserves terpene volatiles
🌱 7. KEEP IT CONSISTENT — "I show up in my curing every day"
"Low and slow. That is the whole game. You do not want to be drying cannabis over 65 degrees."
7 Drying Methods I Have Tested — The Verdict Is In:
🌱 ❌ MICROWAVE DRY — terp destroyer
🌱 ❌ OVEN DRY — terp destroyer
🌱 ❌ DRYER DRY — terp destroyer
🌱 ⚠️ SCREEN DRY — too fast, loses terps
🌱 ⚠️ BOX METHOD (RIGID BOX) — inconsistent
🌱 ⚠️ RACK DRY — close, but hang still wins
🌱 ✅ HANG DRY — the clear decade-tested winner
"I can tell you right now what I have learned over the last few decades. HANG DRY FOR THE WIN." 🏆
The 16-Year Airtight Blue-Skin Room:
🌱 Built in 2010 — 16 years ago
🌱 Blue-skinned walls — vapor sealed, airtight
🌱 Wrapped the room specifically for curing
🌱 Written down + planned in advance
🌱 Mind's eye vision + massive action = built reality
🌱 Same curing rack system — over a DECADE of refinement
🌱 Tweaked temperatures over time to dial in aW
🌱 Built for curing + growing — for life
"I did this 16 years ago. I wrapped this room for one reason only — I knew I would be curing and growing in this room for the rest of my life. I saw it in the mind's eye. I wrote it down. We built this room." 🙏
The Trajectory Tuesday Numbers — Live From Week 3:
🌱 Target temperature — UNDER 65 degrees F
🌱 Target relative humidity — ~65 percent
🌱 Target aW in bag — ~55 percent (THE SWEET SPOT)
🌱 Week 3 of hang dry
🌱 "Not quite the snap yet" — slow and intentional
🌱 Terpene aroma preserved
🌱 Trajectory ON COURSE
"When the room is too hot, these get really airy. We blow all the terps out. You do not want that."

🌱 Had a VISION — "mind's eye"
