→Cure for 3–4 weeks in sealed jars at 62% RH and check aw weekly – the target is aw < 0.65 for stable quality.
→Check the COA for batch reference, method (HPLC/GC-MS) and LOQ – without this information the lab report is not comparable.
→Never rely on a good COA alone - define your own stop signals in advance (smell, discoloration, damp spots) and check them after storage before you consume.
→Store in UV-protected glass containers at 18–21°C – transparent plastic transmits UV and measurably accelerates quality loss.
→Treat a single THC% figure as a guideline value, not as an exact fact – documented ring trials show lab-to-lab deviations of more than 15 percentage points for identical material.
