How to Store Your Smokable Hemp Flower at Home

Let’s discuss how to store your smokable hemp flower at home. There are three basic rules of thumb for preserving the quality and integrity of 

your hemp flower until it’s the right time to enjoy it. Let’s dive in!

1. Avoid Light

Cannabinoids are the compounds in cannabis that give the user the desired effects when smoked or ingested. But did you know cannabinoids 

break down in the presence of light? In fact, the reason the sticky, resinous trichomes- or crystals- on your cannabis flower often have a yellowish 

or amber hue to them is that in the late flowering stages of growth, the plant produces keratins in the trichomes to protect the precious 

cannabinoids from UV light breakdown. Kind of like sunglasses for your flowers! Smokable hemp flower should always be stored in a dark 

place (when it is not actively enjoyed).

2. How to Store Your Smokable Hemp Flower at Home/Avoid Heat

Terpenes are the essential oils in cannabis that are responsible for many of the desirable effects and characteristics associated with smoking 

cannabis flower. Terpenes are most notably responsible for the fantastic aromas they impart to your flower! Terpenes work in conjunction with 

cannabinoids to produce what is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect.” The entourage effect is simply the relationship between different 

compounds in cannabis- such as terpenes and cannabinoids- and how those compounds work together to form new mechanisms of interaction 

with our body’s endocannabinoid system. Terpenes are very delicate! Temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or more will lead to the rapid 

destruction of terpenes in your cannabis flower. As such, your flower should be stored in a cool place.

3.  Optimize Moisture levels

Cannabis flower that is too dry will turn to dust in its storage container. Cannabis flower that is too moist does not combust in an enjoyable 

manner. Cannabis flower that has been stored in an appropriate climate range will burn JUST RIGHT. The rule of thumb for storing cannabis

flower is 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit, while proper Relative Humidity for cannabis storage is 45-62%. If your cannabis flower is too moist, simply

leaving it out in the air in a dry environment should do the trick. If your cannabis flower is too dry, PSC offers Boveda 62% RH humidity packs to

keep your flower just right. Place the Boveda pack in your sealed cannabis storage container, and voila! Perfectly combustible cannabis!

Alternatively, an apple slice or orange peel can be added to your sealed container to rehabilitate flower that is undesirably dry. The moisture from

the fruit portion will equalize to the dry flower in the container.
