Storing Weed

storing weed: Sweden researched at the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC). The Idea was to study both the chemical and physical behaviour of weed resin. They took 48 months to get a clear idea of the effects of long-term storage. Samples. At room temperature, Exposing them to air for four years. As a result, the THC level lost between 64% to 74%. How much does weed degrading? Everyone in the cannabis industry is keen to know how both quality and potency. Variables interact especially during long-term storage because critical molecules can rearrange, which is degrading. “The industry is still immature, so professionals are currently developing industry standards, including best practices for storage,” said David Pratt. A veteran Canada-based weed consultant and grower.

Concentrate vs. flower:

Storing weed conditions are different. Concentrates derive from the living plants. Nevertheless, the chances of contamination and quality reduction are always there. Especially when weed concentrates exposed to the air. “When it comes to dried bud, moist content is one of the main concerns, yet there is often greater control over air mass. In contrast, when dealing with concentrates, they very often need to be stored at cooler temperatures. Because their densities are based on a lack of control over breathability, making them more susceptible to condensation and mould aid Pratt. As a result, flavour, potency, life, and quality of the product get lower.

Life of concentrates weed degrading:

No specific standards for storing weed have preserved set Quality. Pratt said, “The cannabis industry can learn a lot from the produce industry. Many resources go into the final product in terms of concentrates, so understanding ideal storage conditions are critical. Generally, Climate control with humidity and temperature is vital for maintaining the shelf-life and quality of the final product. If weed concentrates kept in cool, dark, and dry conditions, they preserve for a longer time.

Effects of light, air, and temperature:

THE Swedish FNC study Published in August 2019 in a journal called Forensic Science International. Researchers explained three huge and 16 small secondary metabolites to understand how physical conditions degrade cannabis resin. Primary metabolites are unavoidable. As far as the survival of the plant is concerned. Nevertheless, secondary metabolites help the plants to adapt to their environment. This procedure was of great help as far as to identify and separate critical compounds. A study proved that the method of storage has a definite effect on the chemical composition of cannabis. The weed does degrade.
