Dry Storage Conditions
Dry storage conditions refer to controlled preservation environments maintained at low humidity levels, typically below 65% relative humidity, used to extend the shelf life and stability of cannabis plant material. Proper dry storage slows degradation of cannabinoids and terpenes, minimizing oxidation and microbial growth. Breeders and seed banks rely on dry storage to preserve genetic lines and maintain seed viability over extended periods. Temperature control, often paired with cool conditions (55–65°F), amplifies preservation benefits. Understanding dry storage principles is essential for long-term curation of breeding stock and archived cultivars.

Breeders maintaining seed banks and genetic repositories depend on dry storage protocols to keep seed germination rates stable across years. Proper desiccation and low-humidity vaults allow breeders to preserve rare or heritage genetics without frequent regeneration cycles.
