When we experimented with

vacuum-sealing buds in mason
jars, we found that the vacuum-
sealed buds didn’t seem to be any
different from the same batch of
buds stored in non-vacuum sealed
jars. After about a year of storage,
they looked and smoked the same
as far as we could tell.
So even if you vacuum-seal your
buds, follow all the other steps, too!

Boveda Packs
Sometimes called Humidipaks
(their old brand name), the newly
renamed Boveda Packs can turn
any airtight space into a cannabis
humidor. The 62% Boveda Packs
are for storing cannabis and can
place in a sealed container with
your buds to regulate the humidity

to the ideal level for cannabis
storage.
Boveda packs also help keep buds
from getting dried out or brittle
(and can re-hydrate buds that are
too dry).

Buds should be dry and
cured before storage
If buds are still fresh, they need to
cure before being put into long-

term storage. Whenever Storing
Cannabis Long-Term, Make Sure.
Buds that Cured for 4+ Weeks–Buds
should be cured at least 4 weeks
before being put into long-term Buds Are Dry Enough (55-62%
storage. It improves the potency Humidity)–Buds should never feel moist
and smoothness of your buds and jars should never “sweat” during the

want to make sure they’ve reached still contain too much moisture and
aren’t ready for storage. Why? Even in a

in storage. The curing process is sealed container you can still get mold,

buds being too wet is one of the biggest
factors that cause buds to degrade early.
