The number of cannabis plants that can be dried and cured before lifting differs from other extraction processes.
The drying and curing process that a cannabis plant typically undergoes can have a devastating impact on terpenes. The delicious factory molecules present in the Trichomes line leave virtually every corner of a mature cannabis flower.

With smoked concentrates, the cannabis plant is allowed a certain amount of time to wick itself of moisture and chlorophyll before the extraction occurs.

During this time, trichomes are subjected to conditions not conducive to terpene preservation. Interactions such as increased exposure to heat, oxygen, physical agitation, and light play a role in degrading terpenes.
