Best Weed Storage Conditions
The three main factors that you need to control for are light, temperature, and humidity.
Light
When it comes to light, the rule is simple: avoid.
A dark environment or container is perfect for your precious buds. But if you like to admire your weed, want to easily see how much you have left, or just feel good about it, go ahead, go transparent; just keep your container out of direct, strong light, as UV can degrade the plant and ruin the colour.
Temperature
Temperature is only slightly more complicated: not too hot, not too cold.
To keep weed from drying out, try to keep it under 20°C, away from heat sources like stoves and heaters.
On the other end of the scale, freezing weed can damage the delicate trichomes that give it flavour and aroma, so don’t do it! You should also avoid storing dried flower in the fridge to prevent mould caused by condensation.
Humidity
Proper humidity management keeps you in the safe zone between dry, brittle weed and mold-inducing moisture. 55-65% is your safe range. Humidity packs, specific containers like humidors and other solutions can help you on this front, but first and foremost, keep your weed sealed.
