Once the drying process is finished, you can place your nicely trimmed buds into a jar or marijuana storage box and store them in a cool and dark place. The back of a closet or cabinet can work well as a storage place to keep a marijuana box or jar. Besides heat and light, susceptibility to oxygen in the air can also lead marijuana to lose its flavor and potency through THC’s degradation. To avoid any moisture build-up, it’s important to open up the containers a few times a day during the first week, let the flowers “breathe,” and allow the moisture to escape.
