Why Do We Need Humidity Control?

Humidity control is crucial when it comes to storing hemp and other moisture-sensitive materials, as maintaining the right humidity levels directly impacts the quality, potency, and longevity of the product. Hemp, like cannabis, contains valuable compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for its therapeutic effects and aromatic profile. These compounds are highly sensitive to environmental conditions, especially humidity. If the environment is too dry, the hemp can become brittle, losing its flavour and effectiveness; if it’s too humid, it risks developing mould, which can ruin the product and pose health risks.

Boveda

This is where humidity control solutions like Boveda come into play. Boveda packs are specifically designed to create and maintain an optimal relative humidity (RH) level within a sealed container. For hemp, the ideal RH typically ranges between 58% and 62%, which is why Boveda offers packs specifically calibrated to these levels. These packs work by either releasing or absorbing moisture as needed to maintain the set RH, ensuring that the hemp remains fresh, aromatic, and potent. By using Boveda humidity control, hemp producers, retailers, and consumers can protect their products from the damaging effects of improper storage, ultimately preserving the quality and integrity of the hemp.
