The Art of Curing: Where Great CBD Flower Comes to Life

After months of nurturing plants in the Oregon sun, harvest marks a huge milestone. But while chopping down the crop may feel like the end, it’s really just the start of the final (and arguably most important)phase of cultivation: curing.

At Tweedle Farms, this step is sacred. It’s where the flower rests, breathes, and becomes everything it was meant to be.

What Happens During Curing

Curing begins after drying, once the outer surface of the buds feels crisp but the inner moisture hasn’t completely escaped. Inside each jar or bin, a slow dance unfolds between air, temperature, and humidity.

• Moisture equalizes through the flower, ensuring even texture and preventing mold.

• Enzymes continue to work, breaking down leftover chlorophyll and sugars that can cause harsh smoke.

• Terpenes stabilize, locking in the aromatic compounds that give each strain its unique scent and flavor.

When done right, curing preserves the complexity that drying can’t. It’s the stage that defines the smoothness of your inhale and the richness of your exhale.

Why Rushing It Doesn’t Work

Quick-drying or skipping curing entirely might save time, but it also strips away everything that makes CBD flower special.

Terpenes—especially the more delicate monoterpenes like pinene, myrcene, and limonene—evaporate easily when exposed to heat, light, or dry air.

That’s why we move slowly and deliberately, allowing the flower time to settle into itself.

How We Cure at Tweedle Farms

We maintain steady humidity around 58–62%, and temperatures between 60–70°F. That way, it's cool enough to protect terpenes and warm enough to let moisture move.

We store everything in darkness to avoid light degradation, and we “burp” the bins regularly during the first few weeks, allowing just enough airflow to refresh the buds without drying them out.

Over several weeks, the aroma deepens from green and grassy to complex and unmistakably dank. What started as a freshly harvested plant transforms into a perfectly balanced, flavorful hemp flower, ready to share its full expression of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Why It Matters

Done right, the cure is where all the work of a growing season pays off.

When you open a jar and catch that first whiff of citrus, pine, or earth, you’re not just smelling the plant—you’re experiencing the result of a careful, intentional process designed to protect every molecule of that aroma.

Good flower grows in the field. Great flower comes to life in the cure.
