Perfect Moisture Level for Marijuana Storage
What is the Ideal Moisture Level?
The ideal relative humidity (RH) for storing marijuana is between 60% and 65%. This range prevents mold growth and maintains the cannabis's integrity.

Why is Moisture Control Important?
- Prevents mold and mildew, which can ruin the cannabis.
- Retains the terpenes and cannabinoids that contribute to flavor and potency.
- Extends the shelf life of the cannabis.
How to Measure Moisture
Use a hygrometer to measure the RH in your storage area. For cannabis, it's best to use a hygrometer specifically designed for cannabis storage.

Adjusting Moisture Levels
If the RH is too low, add moisture with a humidifier. If it's too high, use a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity.
