Why is humidity control important for herbs?
If you are dealing with large quantities of herbs, you must have encountered a situation where you open a container of herbs only to find that they've lost their freshness and aroma as they became too dry or too moist.
Herbs are very sensitive to humidity. The quality of herbs depends on how much care is taken to store them well after harvesting till they reach the end consumer. It also affects the lifespan of stored marijuana in the jar. Molds can develop when marijuana is too wet and harsh. If marijuana is too dry, it can degrade the trichomes, degrading their quality.
This is why humidity levels must be maintained when packaging herbs, as it helps maintain their quality and shelf life. Adding a humidity pack to the container is the best way to do that.
Let's discuss humidity packs.
What are humidity packs?
Humidity packs are small packets filled with a specially formulated gel to regulate and maintain the relative humidity (RH) level within a storage area. These packs are used often to maintain moisture levels in cigars, herbs, and other items. Each pack holds a salt and water mixture within an osmosis membrane that allows vapor to flow in and out, absorbing and releasing moisture as needed. Each pack targets a specific percentage ranging from 58 – 75%, depending on the desired humidity level. So now, let's understand how to use a humidity pack.
How to use humidity packs?
You must follow these steps to ensure the humidity packs work well.
- Place your humidity pack inside the airtight storage container in the same compartment where your herb is. Though the pack is safe to touch the buds, it is better to position the pack where it won't directly touch the herbs to avoid an uneven moisture distribution. If the pack is overwrapped, remove clear plastic before using, but do not remove the brown packets.
- After closing the container, the pack starts working automatically. No activation is required. Once the humidity pack is inside the container, close the container. It will begin regulating the humidity levels automatically.
- Replace the humidity pack in your cannabis container after three months. After the initial adjustment period, no regular monitoring is required. After a certain period, you can check the humidity levels to measure RH in the container. The humidity pack needs to be replaced with a different RH rating if the humidity is too high or too low. A hygrometer can be used to measure the RH inside the container accurately.
Here are some additional tips to follow when using humidity packs.
- It is important to avoid frequent opening and closing of the container to maintain stable humidity levels. Otherwise, it can lead to fluctuations in humidity and disrupt the humidity adjustment process.
- In the case of large storage containers, using multiple humidity packs is advisable to have an even humidity distribution.
Humidity packs are a simple and effective solution for maintaining the quality, freshness, and shelf life of marijuana. Properly cured and stored marijuana retains its flavor, smell, potency, and effects long after it's sold. Even the highest-grade flower that is harvested needs proper care while storing.
