This is a very good post with sources. it lists decarb time and heat relation (you can decarb a flower by just curing for 5 months for example)

Decarboxylation studies

Hello dear OG community, I would like to share with you what I found from research papers on decarboxylation (decarb) of dried cannabis. I will keep this short, without going into any detail about their extraction methods and other metrics which are out of scope of my knowledge and resources. I will only represent 2 research papers i found most useful, but i will post other papers i went through on my google drive. I discarded some papers as they did not focus on decarb but more about methods o…

and then in this another thread discussing the science of curing, but we didnt really get anywhere.

Dry & Curing Science

Hello, Im trying to horde science based info on dry and cure. for ex, it is my understanding that during this period CO2 breaks apart effectively decarboxylating slowly (and thus why they say you can decarb a flower with no heat, in a 4 or 5 month cure ), and that moisture leaves the plant which also kills bacteria etc. But I hear a lot that if humidity goes below 55% for an extended period (lets say 12 to 24 hours) then curing is completely stopped, and you cannot go back to curing, all you …
