Where Do Cultivators Keep Their Stash?
Posted on August 29th, 2024 to Education by Plymouth Armor Group
When it comes to cannabis, storage isn’t just an afterthought—it’s essential throughout the supply chain. Proper cannabis storage keeps a highly prized product fresh, potent, and ready to impress the end consumer. However, cultivators face one of the biggest challenges.
As an agricultural product, once weed is harvested and cured, the clock starts ticking. The more a cultivator can control exposure to the sun, temperature variances, and oxygen, the longer they have to make sure the quality is the same for the end customer as it would have been when fresh out of cure.
Imagine getting your hands on top-shelf bud only to find out it’s lost its magic because of poor storage. As a cannabis customer, few things are more disappointing, and few things will leave a bad taste in your mouth about a specific cultivator. Chances are, you won’t be buying anything from that brand again anytime soon.
To prevent problems with cannabis landing on a dispensary shelf with questionable quality, paying attention to maintaining that freshly cured, peak-of-potential quality is a must for a grower. Yet, storing bulk cannabis is not easy. Take a closer look at the big needs of cannabis storage for cultivators below, as well as ideal solutions.
Understanding Cannabis Storage Needs for Cultivators
The needs of a cannabis cultivator are unique compared to others in the cannabis supply chain. Cultivators tend to have a larger stash to store and figure out how to keep the weed fresh until it travels to dispensaries. Dispensaries don’t buy massive quantities of cannabis all at one time from a cultivator, which means the grower has to determine how to keep the cannabis fresh until it is ready for shelves in the dispensary.
The Challenges of Bulk Cannabis Storage
Storing bulk quantities of cannabis flower is not an easy feat. Some of the challenges cultivators face with cannabis storage include:
- Temperature Control: Maintaining a consistent and optimal temperature to prevent degradation of cannabinoids and terpenes.
- Humidity Management: Balancing humidity levels to avoid mold growth or excessive drying that can affect quality.
- Air Circulation: Ensuring proper airflow to prevent moisture buildup and promote even curing.
- Light Exposure: Protecting cannabis from light to prevent degradation of THC and other compounds.
- Pest Prevention: Guarding against pests and contaminants that could compromise the integrity of the stored product.
- Inventory Management: Tracking and managing large quantities to ensure rotation and prevent waste.
- Security: Protecting the stored cannabis from theft or unauthorized access.
- Packaging Integrity: Using the right packaging to preserve freshness and prevent contamination.
- Space Optimization: Efficiently utilizing storage space to maximize capacity while ensuring accessibility and organization.
What do ideal cannabis storage solutions look like for cultivators?
For cultivators, the perfect storage setup is a blend of science and art that can involve a great deal of time and effort to achieve. Optimal storage solutions include warehouses with features like climate control, secure warehousing, and efficient space utilization.
How well these conditions are managed can make or break the quality of the final product. A well-designed storage environment helps preserve the nuances of each strain, ensuring that the cannabis maintains its premium quality from harvest through to delivery.
The problem with this is not all cultivators have the space or funds to create their own storage warehouse on-site. At best, many get by with small corners in their cultivation facilities where finished cannabis is held until it is ready for packaging. It is not uncommon for cultivators to face significant losses due to not having adequate storage for the cannabis harvested and cured before dispensaries or even processors have a need for their product.
