Truth is, a strong aroma doesn’t prove flower is fresh. A strong smell tells you that terpenes have escaped from hemp flower because of evaporation. When stored without a terpene shield—even in a sealed Hempsac—flower immediately starts to degrade.

Boveda Protects from Cure to Consumption That cannabis aroma you love? Give props to drying and curing. It’s during these finishing stages that cannabis and hemp mature. The smell gets better and becomes more potent. But more importantly, properly curing cannabis reduces its harshness. Once it’s dried, you can prevent flower from accidentally overdrying while […]

Without a terpene shield in your container or package, cannabis flower loses its terpenes and everything with it, the desired aromas, flavors and effectiveness you love.

Looking for cost-saving opportunities in the cannabis space? Turns out, the best value cannabis humidity control is Boveda, the original terpene shield™, according to a recent study that compared Boveda to a competing humidity pack.

With wine production, for centuries it has been known that every environmental factor—from soil quality to harvest techniques to aging processes—affects the final product. That same level of quality assurance-minded scrutiny is now being applied to cannabis and hemp. With billions of dollars at stake and an increasingly discerning market of buyers and sellers, factors […]

Being in the cannabis business, there are many problems you often can’t control. Foul weather, wild fires, destructive insects, powdery mildew, regulatory changes. The list goes on and on. But the #1 post-cure risk cultivators can easily stop is terpene loss. #1. Post-Cure Risk: Terpene Evaporation Terpene loss is an insidious post-cure risk cultivators can […]

Excerpted from Cannabis Industry Journal Why Humidity Can Make or Break a Cannabis Cultivator’s Bottom Line Vintners have known for centuries that every step in the winemaking process—from cultivation and harvest techniques to fermentation, aging and bottling—has immense impact on the quality and value of the final product. And that same level of scrutiny is […]

Short answer, no. But do you know why? (hint: it has to do with cannabis terpenes!) Think of an orange. Before you peel it, how does it smell? You can pick up just a hint of its “orangyness” from its dimply exterior. But that mouth-watering citrus scent is strongest when you tear into the peel. […]

Saving terpenes post-cure is tricky. All of the hard work cultivators put into their grow-op can be compromised once the flower is sold and leaves their hands. What was once premium cannabis can quickly and easily become subpar at any point during its journey to the customer. And once terpenes evaporate after harvest, it adversely […]

Learn how terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids mature while pros cure cannabis with humidity packs and after curing, why a terpene shield is essential to prevent terpene and water weight loss while cannabis is in storage, in transport and on the shelf. More and more cannabis enthusiasts are educating themselves on what fantastic finished product looks […]

Moldy marijuana isn’t safe to consume or smoke. Firing up moldy cannabis distributes—doesn’t destroy—mold spores. Trimming off the mold from your MJ doesn’t fully eliminate the danger either. When in doubt, throw it out. (Or better yet, use humidity control in cannabis storage to avoid the mold problem in the first place. ) Mold is […]

1. How does Boveda work? Much like a thermostat, Boveda dials-in and maintains the ideal RH level in for cannabis containers—between 58% and 62% RH. Creating a terpene shield is only possible when you use a product that can quickly achieve the right environment (specifically, the right relative humidity) where this shield can form. Then precisely maintain that environment […]
