Reddit reviews Boveda for Herbal Storage | 62% RH 2-Way Humidity Control | Size 8 Protects Up to 1 Ounce (30 Grams) Flower | Prevent Terpene Loss Over Drying and Molding | 10-Count Resealable Bag

toss some of these packs in an airtight jar with your bud for longer term storage https://www.amazon.com/Boveda-62-Percent-2-Way-Humidity-Control/dp/B00JV27MF4?th=1

Flower can definitely go bad. Usually caused by a few things.

The producer not curing the flower properly and leave too much moister in the flower so when it’s packed in an air tight jar it has nowhere to go and causes the flower to mold which will look like tiny white spider webs either on or when you crack the flower open or create anaerobic bacteria... get a jewelry loop and check for mold though noticeable by eye when bad

You could try keeping the jar open and on it side for an hour in the morning and evening. For a week or so this normally done in the curing process to stop this from happening but if it smells bad it probably will always be bad...

I would highly recommend getting boveda packs this helps keep the humidity constant in the jar leasing the chance it will go bad

Boveda makes humidipaks that a lot of ents use to keep their stash fresh. I highly recommend it, much more efficient than doing something weird like using a chunk of lettuce or an orange peel. Glass jars should be enough for storage but there are some more expensive containers specifically for cannabis, but I've never tried one because my mason jars work fine for me.

I mean... 'technically that's not following the letter of the law.

The reality however is that no cop is going to know the difference. If you have a jar with a 2018 date on it, who is that cop to tell you that you're not allowed to smoke year old bud? It's not like the cop is going to sniff your jar labeled as Kush IV and go

> Whoa whoa hold up here champ, this jar says Kush IV but it smells more like Cannatonic, what kind of stunt are you pulling here little man?

He's going to look at the jar, look at your ID and send you on your way.

As for the drying out issue? I'd highly recommend investing in some Boveda's. I'm personally a fan of the 62% ones but the 58% ones work good as well. But they'll keep your bud from drying out for months. They'll also keep it from getting too humid during the summer months. You just drop one in your mason jar (or more really if you want) and it'll maintain the proper rH for you at all times.

They carry them in all sorts of sizes but the 4g or 8g ones are going to be the best for your home use. I personally like the 8g ones simply because they're going to typically last a little bit longer.

Use these in your mason jar, Boveda 62 best way to keep your weed at the right humidity level.

Some cigar/smoke shops and most Headshops have them. I usually add a few to my order when i get some smoking accessories. For example Amazon

Recommended pack size to weed:


Boveda 4 gram: 7-14 grams of medicine.


Boveda 8 gram: 14-28 grams of medicine.

Edit: When you are looking online you might see they are available in various humidity levels (for different stuff) and 62% is used for weed.

For best maintenance of cannabis moisture (think cigar humidor) get a glass Mason jar and throw a 62% RH Boveda pack in there and your buds well stay fresh for months. The packs are like $10 for 12 and they last a long time so it's a no-brainer purchase. They are two-way humidity control, so they will both absorb moisture to dry out buds that are too wet (to a certain degree) and release moisture to hydrate dried out buds.

Gotta keep it in airtight containers and monitor the humidity. I use mason jars with Boveda packs to keep them at 62% humidity.

Sorry only tried Boveda and have been very satisfied, wish I figured this out years ago.


Amazon is reasonable at just over $2 a pack and 4 month eta seems ok no?

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00JV27MF4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Others use the ones on the ocs site say they are fine think they are cheaper to around a $1 if I recall correctly

Not the cheapest, but by far the best/easiest, and pretty cheap.

Boveda 62% RH packs and a glass jar. Or even a decent plastic container, if it seals.

Yes, boveda packs provide humidity control and are pretty much the standard for storing herb properly. If you're storing for as long as a year, they would be a must have. Even if you open the jar weekly, you'll be fine. They can also (I've heard) be reconstituted when they expire, to be used again. Never tried it, you'd have to google that one for more info. I bought these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00JV27MF4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Y'all motherfuckers snitched. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00JV27MF4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I was buying these for 12$ 6 months ago and now they are 30 on amazon.

By the by, they are the best thing ever. Anyone who doesnt use them gets instantly converted when they see how fresh your weed is. Try and order them online, head shops are rip off for them.

I just converted from humidor to tupperdor. Pick up a sistema in either 101 or 67 oz, and some boveda packs to keep the humidity. It's seriously the best way to keep sticks fresh and is super easy to setup.

10 for $12 with Prime

I am no expert or cultivator but some say that 62% still is too damp. Something like 59% would be ideal but the next step down is 49%. I use the 62% packs but open my jars periodically and don't change them until they're quite crunchy. No problems.

I grab mine from amazon they work out to about $1.20 a pack https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00JV27MF4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501151850&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=boveda+packs&dpPl=1&dpID=41Ir3pdIHxL&ref=plSrch

Yea that's what I'm talking about, it helps with moisture by keeping the humidity levels right

Do you have a UV light? That might help spot mold.

Next time, consider Boveda 62 packs to rehydrate instead.

Also, rosin isn't 100% THC, so it doesn't mean it was 20% THC flower when you get 20% yield.

lol the bovedas are on amaxon. 8 for 12$

Ey! this might be a late reply and what i am about to say may have already been written but what i did to keep my cabbage good was to use Boveda 62-Percent RH 2-Way Humidity Control, 8 gram - 10 Pack to keep the humidity in check and so that mold does not grow on your delicacy. for storing i used Ball Wide Mouth Pint 16-Ounce Glass Mason Jar with Lids and Bands. hopefully this helps out and keeps your buds good to go for a long time to come! hope you have a great day!

I keep my almost all of my weed in the dark, in glass jars, with a boveda pack, I also have small hygrometers (you dont need one in every jar, I just move them around to keep an eye on the humidity()
I lost track of some strawberry Jerry, it had been sitting for 5 months, I rolled a joint last week, it smelled and smoked as good as it did when I first opened it, you dont forget the smell, it was from KC so the Terps are always good and they are still the same.

Yeah, mine dried out too fast in my garage... there is NO humidity, and the air is totally dry.

I sent away for some of those Bovida packages to rehydrate my buds in the jars... https://smile.amazon.com/Boveda-62-Percent-2-Way-Humidity-Control/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=BBOLKJUPSEXR&keywords=bovida+humipacks+62&qid=1572363967&sprefix=bovine%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQ0NNSTZZQjBVUzhPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODYyMTE1MVVWQlFFTk9PVkpLVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTAxNjY2M01WS0xVTkVZV01UOCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

I use stash jars that are 3" tall and 2" diameter (standard size) to hold weed. Line these in the back in individual holding slots of 3 or 4. Sectioned off from the front and length wise a simple trough to hold items like vapes, pens, paper, grinder. For humidity control use Boveda 8g packets in each jar. They last for months keeping his cannabis fresh.

If you really want to trick it out pick up some Swagstr stash jars and matching grinder on Etsy. They also sell stash boxes so have a look for design ideals.

Mason jars from the dollar store or like walmart work fine then just keep one or two of these in the jar with it. It will basically bring dry bud back to life with moisture and makes it sticky again/keeps it sticky and fresh if you already have good bud :) One boveda pack could probably last a month and there are ways to "recharge" them if you're cheap but personally I just throw them out once they dry up too much.

It's super strain dependent. The lowest I've gotten is 10% and that's from a single strain. Average is 15%+. Humidity is a big thing too. With these and dialing the time and temps down on certain high yielding strains you can easily get 20%+. Gorilla Glue #4 and Blueberry have been my biggest yielders so far(pics are a couple weeks old but still using the same flower today). If you tell the people at the dispensaries that you're going to press it they might be able to direct you towards better yielding strains too. And instead of using an ounce or more just testing times and temps, you might want to just press small buds one at a time, checking out the color, stability, yield, flavor for like single dab presses. Then you find what works the best without having to buy an ounce of each strain just to experiment.

Get some boveda packs to add to air tight mason jars stored in a cool, dark place. Should last you a long time!

I buy on amazon, https://www.amazon.ca/Boveda-Humidipak-Medium-Humidity-Control/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=boveda&qid=1572618546&sr=8-3

I also rehydrate; place hard packs in glass of water for a few min until soften, then into a ziploc. Have rehydrated each pack many times; no need to throw out. I place an 8G into an OZ bag/jar and it keeps it fresh.

I've had great luck with these:

https://www.amazon.com/Boveda-62-Percent-2-Way-Humidity-Control/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505064579&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=boveda%2B62&th=1

If you are not too rough with them, they can be recharged and reused easily. Just put them in a sealed container alongside a shotglass or something filled with water, and leave them alone for a few days.

The "too much moisture" and mold issues can be avoided by using Boveda packs which will prevent the optimal 62% relative humidity from being exceeded.

Damn bro its like you never heard of a humidity pack before.

Weed may smell grassy even tho it's skunky in the room but that smell typically goes away during drying and will definetly be gone sometime in the cure.

Make sure to have proper airflow and to dry and cure your buds properly.
I use boveda 62% as soon as they go into the jars. And I Crack them every day for the first week or two to help the rh stabilize then onto the long cure.

Source: my last harvest all smelled a bit grassy until at least dry and 1 strain took 3 weeks in cure to get rid of its grassy smell.

In a head shop I frequent, they sell hydration packs that you can put in the container you keep your bud inside to keep the container humid and prevent the bud from drying out. You can find them here.

Large jars with humidity packs for long term storage. Move from that jar to a smaller jar you will be opening more regularly for usage. You just don't want to be opening your storage jar as much as your usage jar. It will keep the humidity packs lasting longer. The humidity packs should last 4-6 months in a dark sealed jar. Just replace the packs when they get stiff and you should be able to store for quite a while.

Get these (there's also 4 gram if you need smaller packets) and put one in your jar. Keeps it at 62%. When the packet gets stiff, replace it. If it's too dry, it adds moisture. If too moist, it removes it. cheap and easy.

If you want to not only keep your bud at the perfect consistency, but also mature it/increase it's flavour and potency, I suggest grabbing some of these for your stash jars; Boveda Packs 62%

Seriously, I've left bud for months in a jar with these, and when I opened it up it nearly blew my face off.

Yea these are the ones I use. Perfect for mason jars. The 4 gram ones are nice for the smaller jars so you don't have to crumple them.

Use these. With plastic container or glass containers.

Amazon is the best place I've found.

Mason jar should be good, just try to keep the box out of direct sunlight. If you are really worried about mold, or if you buy in bulk and don't want it to dry out, maybe consider a humidifier pack thingy.

Boveda 62 Humidity Packs

Hygrometers

The bud should pretty much break off the stem by hand before you jar. Throw in a boveda pack and a hygrometer and monitor them to make sure you're no higher than 62% humidity. No need to burp. Just make sure to keep an eye on the humidity. I lost 20g to bud rot while curing even though I had a boveda pack in the jar because my humidity was a little too high, and my bud was in too large of nug that it couldn't get any airflow. I also didn't have a hygrometer in that jar. You can take the meters out after the humidity stabilizes in the jar and be fine too.

I bought them on Amazon because of the shipping cost but you can get them on their official website.
I use the 62% and not the 58% because I can always dry my weed easily if I want - which isn't needed anyway because 62% is just right. The 8 gram pack is a good size, fits anything from 1/8th to an ounce so exactly my need.

They do

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NKnazbRJQVBR4

61% is fine, lots of people on here use the 62% humidity packs to cure including myself. I would look those up if you're interested in making it easier.

What about Bovida in jars:

Does anyone know if this is an ok method? How often should they be burped, and should it be a dry trim if using Bovida?

Also drop one of these in with it & your shit will stay fresh & continue to cure. Nake sure you use the 62% ones.

https://www.amazon.com/Boveda-62-Percent-2-Way-Humidity-Control/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=sr_1_6?crid=LN5FM4C5S0WH&keywords=boveda+62&qid=1568986664&s=gateway&sprefix=boveda+%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-6

They can help with that too, but they can also be helpful when there is too much humidity since the packets are a 2 way humidity control.

I haven’t used them either, but they seem to get really great reviews from other growers as well!

For curing you have to watch it like a hawk. And even though they are about $20 a piece I cannot recommend enough, a hygrometer.

My husband does our cure but I've helped him do it so I'll tell you what he does. First we wet trim, removing the sun leaves and leaving the buds on the stems. Then we dry on a drying rack until they don't feel wet and flimsy anymore. They still feel moist but not all floppy. Then they go into jars. This is when we remove the buds from the stems. We don't leave giant buds in the jars. We cut the buds into manageable pieces. If you leave big buds you can get mold. We don't fill the jars any more full than 3/4. Then we close the jars, put a hygrometer in there and wait for the rH to come up.

This is where the opening and closing the jars part starts. Depending on what the rH comes up to we leave the jars open for a number of hours. If it comes up above 80 we remove the cannabis and let it sit out on a plate to dry some more. Leaving it out for about an hour or two then putting it back in the jar and getting it below 80 again. This can take a few tries. Eventually they get to stay in the jars and it's a game to open them and close them a million times until they sit at 62. To get there we'll check on them about 4 times throughout the day and then leave them closed overnights for about 8 hours. When they hit 62-65 we'll throw in boveda packs.

There's an excellent guide here: http://www.rollitup.org/t/if-your-about-to-cure-then-you-gotta-read-this.369616/

Here are the rH meters we use: http://www.amazon.com/Caliber-Digital-Hygromter-Western-Humidor/dp/B00JXOKQVW/ref=sr_1_3/182-0076901-6915671?ie=UTF8&qid=1462892176&sr=8-3&keywords=hygrometer

and here are bovedas : http://www.amazon.com/Boveda-2-Way-Humidity-Control-Pack/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462892206&sr=8-2&keywords=boveda+62

The solution kills two birds with one stone. It humidifies and it contains an anti molding agent. The distilled water will just humidify. For a short term solution the water is fine. But always check your cigars for mold growth. Don't smoke mold.

The boveda packs will also help reduce your chances for mold and will be cheap at your local smoke shop or on amazon The boveda packs in the xikar travel humidor will last a very very long time.
