The stages between cut-down and packaged sellable flower — drying, bucking, trimming, sorting, grading, and curing.
Glossary
Post-harvest refers to every operation between cut-down and packaged sellable flower: drying, bucking, trimming, sorting, grading, and curing. It is the stage where most of cannabis's already-spent value is either preserved or destroyed.
Cultivation P&Ls track plant counts, cycle times, HVAC tonnage, and nutrient cost to two decimals. Most operators cannot tell you their post-harvest yield within five points. That measurement gap is the largest unforced error in commercial cannabis economics.
