How do you keep your weed fresh?

It is necessary to keep your cannabis fresh, whether you are a medicinal or recreational user.

Dead grass is no good for anyone. It doesn’t taste good, and when exposed to the unsuitable environment, its quality, the quality of its cannabinoids and terpenes, deteriorates. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re always keeping your weed as fresh as possible.

There are so many more ways to store your weed these days. Gone are the days when we only had to rely on ziplock bags. Check out these tips:

• Moisture: Moisture content is one of the most critical factors in ensuring your weed is fresh. Too much moisture can lead to mold growth, too little moisture leads to dryness and brittleness.

For this reason, experienced cannabis users know that using humidity sensors and other similar tools in the room where you store your cannabis is important. Relative Humidity (RH) is the measure of humidity and should be between 59 and 63% RH for cannabis.

• Temperature: Cannabis should also be kept at very specific temperatures, always below 22°C. Once it exceeds 77F this can lead to mold growth so always make sure to keep it in cool temperatures. You should also ensure that she is never exposed to freezing temperatures as this can damage the bud structure.

Do not store marijuana in the refrigerator, as changes in humidity and temperature caused by opening and closing the refrigerator can make it susceptible to bacterial growth, as well as mold and mildew.

• Airtight Containers: As cannabis is particularly sensitive to humidity and temperature, it is advisable to store it in airtight containers. These protect it from exposure to oxygen, which increases its longevity. Mason jars are always an easy and accessible option for keeping the air out, and for those who buy weed in bulk, consider vacuuming the stash you won’t need to smoke or consume anytime soon.

• Darkness: Marijuana must always be protected from direct sunlight. In fact, the darker the better, so the easy fix for this is to just store it in the closet. Exposure to ultraviolet rays depletes cannabinoids in particular, so you don’t get as much of its health benefits.

tools for storage

There are many products on the market that will help you keep your weed in good condition for a long time. You might want to consider one or a few of these if you need a little help with storage; Many of them are inexpensive and can be found easily:

Sealed Jars: Mason jars are a popular household item that are great for storing many different things, especially weed. The clear glass lets you see your stash without opening the cover. Additionally, the fact that it’s made of glass means the smell of weed won’t stick to the surface, so you can reuse it for anything else in the future – even strains with different flavors.

Just make sure to seal mason jars properly. When the lid is closed, mason jars are effectively airtight, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold. Mason jars come in many different sizes and are one of the best and most affordable cannabis storage solutions. However, mason jars should be kept away from sunlight, which is why many cannabis users keep mason jars in cupboards. Lastly, make sure mason jars are completely dry (especially if you just washed them) before adding your weed, as even the smallest amount of water can lead to mold growth.

Sealed amber bottles are another great alternative as they protect from light. They’re more expensive than glasses, but if you have access to amber bottles, they do a good job too.

Humidity Packs: Humidity packs are a great tool to ensure the humidity of your cannabis storage is always maintained at optimal levels. These typically contain a combination of salts and water and work by either releasing moisture or removing excess moisture. It’s recommended to keep two-way moisture packs in your weed bin to get the job done.

Moisture packs come in different sizes and strengths. It is always recommended to use one appropriate for the size of your container. So if you’re using a small container, choose a pack that’s just right for it. Also remember that if you are keeping a large supply you will need a larger pack.

If moisture packs are stored in an airtight container, they’ll last two to four months, but once they start to dry and hard, it’s time to replace them.

Humidors: For those who are really serious about their marijuana habit, nothing beats having your own cannabis humidor. These can be more expensive, although these nifty boxes are made specifically for cannabis, so you don’t have to think of much else as they already keep RH levels optimal while being airtight.

Titanium tank: Titanium effectively reduces oxygen exposure. For those who have extra cash to burn and are willing to invest in high-end storage for top-shelf weed, titanium containers are a solid choice. They also help to preserve flavor and ensure that no unwanted elements from the outside intrude.

These tools are a good investment, especially if you’re investing big bucks in premium marijuana.
