How to Store Your Flower for Maximum Freshness

Keep Your Flower Fresh

Nothing ruins a great strain faster than bad storage. Here's how to keep your flower at peak quality.

The Enemies of Freshness

Light — UV rays degrade cannabinoids and terpenes

Air — Oxygen dries out flower and breaks down compounds

Heat — Accelerates degradation

Moisture — Too much causes mold, too little dries it out

The Ideal Setup

• Container: Glass jar with airtight seal (Mason jars work great)
• Location: Cool, dark place (closet, drawer, cabinet)
• Temperature: 60-70°F (room temperature or slightly below)
• Humidity: 58-62% relative humidity

Humidity Packs

Boveda or Integra Boost packs maintain perfect humidity inside your jar. Drop one in and forget about it — they last 2-4 months.

What NOT to Do

• Don't store in plastic bags (static strips trichomes)
• Don't store in the fridge (temperature fluctuations cause condensation)
• Don't leave the jar open
• Don't store near windows or heat sources
• Don't grind until ready to use

Shelf Life

Properly stored flower maintains quality for 6-12 months. After that, potency slowly decreases but the product doesn't become unsafe.
