Boveda packs are used to help control humidity in sealed containers where you store cannabis for preservation. Cannabis is preferably stored between 58% and 62% humidity. Since there are many sizes and humidity ranges for these packs, it is important you choose the proper pack for your desired result.
The most popular Boveda pack is “Boveda Size 8”. Let us figure out what the best sized option is for you and what determines the appropriate size to use.
What size is your storage container?
Typically, you will store cannabis in glass or plastic air-tight containers ranging from 16-ounce mason jars up to 7-gallon plastic buckets. When determining the proper size of the Boveda pack, you simply pick the Boveda pack that is sized for your storage container.
