Why is my weed turning brown

[baldmountain]

Normally my mason jars of weed are pretty stable once I get them to 62% humidity. They stay nice for months. But recently all my stored weed is turning brown quickly. Even weed I harvested in August is brown. The jars are stored in a closed cabinet so they have very little light exposure. The only thing I can think of is this summer and fall have been VERY humid. I usually keep a 62% boveda pack in the jars so humidity should be okay. What else could be wrong?

How warm does it get in that cupboard? First thing I would check is the temp in there. If that is in the 60s or 70s then I would make sure you aren't using old lids. I've stopped reusing bands and lids. They are cheap enough that I use them once and toss them to prevent any issues with them getting a proper seal.

How much air space are you leaving whenever you fill them up? If it's a lot that could cause a bit of oxidation to happen fairly quickly .

It's mostly in the 70's and maybe occasionally the low 80's so not too warm. I do reuse lids. The price has gone up and lids are a buck a piece. (Yeah, I'm cheap.) Jars are half to three quarters full. It does get humid. (It's New England where it's always humid (but not west coast Florida humid.)

So I guess a combination of the jar not being full, reusing lids and some humidity could do it.

That's pretty much it
