Store Your Cannabis Right: Boveda® Humidity Control Solutions

Liam Cassilly

Storing cannabis right keeps it potent and fresh. Boveda® humidity packs control the humidity, keeping it between 55%–65%. This protects the good stuff in your weed.

Too much moisture can cause mold, while too little can make your weed lose its flavor and potency. Using airtight containers with Boveda® packs helps avoid these problems. This way, your weed can last up to two years, if it's properly cured.

Boveda® has solutions for everyone. Their 4-gram packs keep 14g of weed safe, and the 320g packs handle 2.25kg. These packs last 6–10 months before you need to replace them. If they get too solid, it's time for a new one.

Keep your weed in a cool, dark place. This way, it can keep about 85% of its THC after a year. But, if it's not stored right, it can lose up to 60% of its THC.

For flower and concentrates, you need science-backed methods. Boveda® and Cough Zero technology work together to keep your weed potent. It's not just about keeping it fresh—it's about keeping your investment and health safe.

Keeping your cannabis safe is more than just a jar and a dark spot. Bad storage can hurt cannabinoids and terpenes. This leads to lose potency, dull flavors, and safety issues. Here's how to steer clear of these problems.

How Improper Storage Degrades Cannabinoids and Terpenes

Cannabinoids like THC and terpenes are very sensitive. They quickly break down when exposed to heat and light or changing humidity levels. If stored in plastic bags or cardboard, they start to degrade in just weeks. This can cause:

  • Up to 41% THC loss after four years
  • Loss of floral aromas as terpenes evaporate
  • Hardened trichomes that crumble during handling

The Critical Role of Humidity in Preserving Quality

ASTM International says the best relative humidity is between 55-62%. Staying in this range helps avoid:

  • Mold growth at >65% RH
  • Brittle buds at

Changes in storage conditions make plants absorb and release moisture. This damages their cells. Even a small 5% RH change can cause a 30% increase in damage over six months.

Common Storage Mistakes That Lead to Wasted Product

These mistakes waste money for both businesses and consumers:

  • Using plastic bags (static electricity strips trichomes)
  • Storing in direct sunlight or near heating vents
  • Ignoring temperature control (optimal: 60-70°F)
  • Ignoring dark place requirements

Every airtight containers that aren't sealed right risks losing potency and flavor in 30 days. Check your storage environment weekly for mold signs like white fuzz or sour smells.

Keep Cannabis Storage Optimal with Boveda Humidity Control

Boveda’s patented two-way humidity control keeps cannabis at the perfect 58–62% RH range. It balances moisture by adding or removing it automatically. This stops dryness or mold. Store your cannabis in airtight glass containers, humidor, or sealed mason jars to keep it fresh.

The curing process benefits from stable conditions. This preserves trichomes and terpenes. Your cannabis will stay fresher for longer.

"Boveda humidity control packs can extend cannabis shelf life up to 3 years," says ASTM International, validating their role in maintaining potency. Proper airtight storage at 60–68°F in a dry place reduces terpene loss by 90%, per peer-reviewed studies.

Steps to use Boveda:

  • Place 1 Boveda pack in airtight containers (mason jars, humidor, or vacuum-sealed bags)
  • Replace every 90 days for consistent moisture levels
  • Avoid direct sunlight—store in a dark spot like a closet
Storage Method Humidity Stability Shelf Life
Boveda + Glass Container 58-62% RH Up to 3 years

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)

What is the best way to store cannabis using Boveda® humidity control solutions?

The best way to store cannabis is to maintain an optimal humidity level that preserves its freshness and potency. Boveda® humidity control solutions provide a unique two-way humidity control system that releases or absorbs moisture as needed. This means that when you store marijuana with Boveda®, the humidity level remains stable, preventing the cannabis from drying out or becoming too moist. For optimal results, keep the Boveda® pack inside an airtight container or a vacuum-sealed bag, as this will help maintain the desired humidity levels.

How does Boveda® help in long-term storage of cannabis?

Boveda® packs are specifically designed for long-term storage of cannabis. They come in various humidity levels, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your cannabis type. By placing a Boveda® pack in your storage container, you ensure that your cannabis stays at the perfect humidity level, which can prevent it from going bad. This is particularly important for weed storage over long periods, as it helps preserve cannabinoids and terpenes, ensuring that your cannabis maintains its flavor and potency.

Can cannabis go bad if not stored properly?

Yes, cannabis can definitely go bad if not stored properly. Exposure to air, light, and fluctuating humidity levels can lead to degradation of the cannabis, resulting in loss of potency and flavor.
