How to Store Cannabis for Freshness | Scarlet Reserve NJ

If you want your flower to stay aromatic and potent, knowing how to store cannabis for freshness is key. At Scarlet Reserve in Matawan, NJ, we help customers protect their cannabis investment with proper storage techniques that keep it flavorful and long-lasting.

🌱 1. How to Store Cannabis for Freshness: Keep It Cool (But Not Cold)

Temperature has a huge effect on cannabis freshness. High heat dries out buds and damages terpenes — the compounds responsible for aroma and effects.
Ideal temperature: Between 60–70°F (15–21°C).
Avoid fridges or freezers; they make trichomes brittle. Learn more about cannabis care from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

💧 2. Maintaining Humidity to Keep Cannabis Fresh

Humidity between 55–62% keeps cannabis fresh. Too dry makes smoke harsh, too moist invites mold. Use humidity packs for best results. You can find humidity-control accessories and storage jars at our Scarlet Reserve Matawan dispensary.

🕶️ 3. Store Cannabis Away from Light for Maximum Freshness

UV light breaks down cannabinoids. To preserve freshness, store cannabis in dark glass jars or a drawer. Try UV-protective jars for best results.

🍯 4. Best Containers for Storing Cannabis for Freshness

Plastic creates static that strips trichomes. For long-term storage:

• Use airtight glass jars for flower
• Use silicone containers for concentrates
• Avoid plastic bags

🚫 5. Avoid Air Exposure to Preserve Cannabis Freshness

Too much oxygen degrades THC and freshness. Open jars only when needed. Divide larger amounts into smaller containers for long-term use.

🍫 6. How to Store Cannabis Edibles and Cartridges

• Edibles: Keep sealed in a cool, dark place (fridge for gummies or baked goods).
• Cartridges: Store upright at room temperature, away from sunlight.

🔒 7. Keep Cannabis Safe and Secure

If you live with others, keep your stash locked and discreet. Scarlet Reserve carries odor-proof, child-safe containers perfect for safe cannabis storage.
