Boveda packs should be removed as soon as you hit the relitive humidity you want for weed (around 58-62%).

After that they can tend to remove smell and taste.

Buy a hygrometer, (very cheap on ebay) pop it in the jar, and when it reads around 60% get rid of the Boveda packs.

Jar in 'Kilner' or any equivalent sealed jars with a rubber gasket. Don't overfill, leave at least 10% free at the top.

Store the jars at 18 degrees C (65 fahrenheit) in a dark space.

Darkness is important.

You should get at least 12-18 months before the buds start to degrade.

Amazon Prime to the rescue - thanks for the tips!!!

just to add that "a few days later" and I'm using the two top tips now and my bud is looking so snug in their little humidors ;-)

Snug Bud is what we all strive for mate! :)

Well said👍

Many thanks BB for your incredibly useful advise! Will buy a hygrometer as I think I'm using the Boveda packs for too long as the smell and taste does indeed seem to be lacking in the 2020 haze that I still have...12-18 months is far longer than I envisaged the bud to last,so that's good news...I'm currently using Kilner jars for storage,so at least Ive got one small thing right! lol!...Once again,many thanks for your really valuable advice...much appreciated! :)

No worries. These are the hygrometers I use (linked above). Cheap, accurate enough and they fit in the jars. 👍

Cheers BB 🍻

Thats very kind of you BB...much appreciated and just to let you know,Ive just bought a couple off Ebay!...Many thanks again and have a great weekend :)

Good question. Fresh bud has so much sparkly, sticky, stinky appeal that you can’t believe it will have the same effects a year or more later. But only last night I came across a small batch of Pink Candy Kush that was probably 18 months old (jar stored in a cool dark place) and lacking all bud appeal. I was going to bin it and then thought ‘ah, what the hell…”- it vaped every bit as good as I remembered it, I’d have been happy with the effects if it had been fresh in the post that day.
So, imo, fresh bud is lovely to behold but old bud correctly stored won’t let you down! 😋👍

Thanks and glad you enjoyed the Pink Candy Kush after 18 months of storage!...Were you using a Boveda in there over that time?

Nope, just by itself…

Thanks...will defo be getting a hygrometer that BB suggested because there is really no way of knowing when the Boveda has got to 60% or 58%...Thank God for LB and all the lovely Biggas(including your good self) :)

If proper conserved (check British bulldog comment) cannabis flower can maintain top quality for more than 3 to 6 months... easily! It's a dry herb.

The slight less effects that you mentioned is because THC has degratates to CBN. The flower will look slightly darker (specially the orange hairs) and the effects will be different.

Few years ago, this hippie grower, very experience grower, told me that he stored it (vacuum sealed) in the lower part of the fridge or even freeze it for bigger periods 😲
Haven't tried it 😅

Stay happy stay high 😎

Many thanks too mate...Not sure if I would risk putting vacuum sealed weed into the freezer though...main reason is that I normally don't keep weed that long as it tends to get "bonged" within weeks of purchase! lol!...Thanks again for your advise and input :)

Sometimes boveda packs dry out too if theres too much in the jar.

Yes,good point...I normally put 2 1g packs in a 3.5g stash to be on the safe side!

I haven't tried these bags out personally but reviews seem fine.
