Why Storage Matters
Improper storage is the fastest way to degrade your cannabis. Exposure to light, heat, humidity, and oxygen all break down cannabinoids and terpenes โ reducing potency and flavour over time.
The Golden Rules
- Use glass: Airtight glass jars are ideal. Avoid plastic, which produces static and degrades trichomes.
- Control humidity: Aim for 59โ63% relative humidity. Boveda packs help maintain this.
- Keep it cool: Store below 25ยฐC. Heat encourages mould and accelerates cannabinoid breakdown.
- Block the light: UV light degrades THC rapidly. Use opaque or dark-tinted containers.
- Minimise air exposure: Open your storage as infrequently as possible.
What to Avoid
Never store cannabis in the freezer for daily use โ trichomes become brittle and snap off. Avoid storing near electronics or appliances that generate heat.
