Beat the Heat: Protecting Your Cannabis in New York’s Urban Jungle
As temperatures soar across Brooklyn’s neighborhoods, from the bustling streets of Williamsburg to Fort Greene, proper cannabis storage becomes crucial for maintaining quality and potency. At Stash Master, we’re often asked about the best practices for keeping cannabis fresh during those sweltering summer months.
Here are essential tips for optimal storage:
1. Temperature Control
– Keep cannabis below 70°F (21°C)
– Avoid direct sunlight
– Store away from heat-generating appliances
2. Humidity Management
– Maintain 59-63% relative humidity
– Use humidity control packs
– Check containers regularly for moisture
3. Container Choices
– Airtight glass jars
– UV-protected containers
– Avoid plastic bags or containers
Location Matters
Whether you’re in Bushwick or Bedford-Stuyvesant, finding the right storage spot in your home is crucial. Consider these ideal locations:
– Dark closets
– Basement areas
– Cool, dry cabinets
– Dedicated storage boxes
What to Avoid
– Kitchen or bathroom storage (too much humidity)
– Window sills (direct sunlight)
– Car storage (temperature fluctuations)
– Refrigerator storage (moisture issues)
Remember, proper storage not only preserves your cannabis but also protects your investment. By following these guidelines, you can maintain the quality of your products throughout the summer season and beyond.
For residents in Brooklyn’s neighborhoods like Clinton Hill and Brownsville, understanding these storage principles is especially important given our urban environment’s unique challenges with heat retention and humidity.
