DCR (Missouri’s division of cannabis regulation) is banning moisture control (like boveda) packs in all flower batches, post-testing.
No boveda packs in bulk batches of tested flower, no bovedas in deli style jars at retail…
They claim the packs cause too much moisture change, when in reality they maintain moisture content lol.
The regulators in this state are complete idiots, man… Completely clueless as to how anything works… Anyone else in MO heard about this yet?
Welcome to the SHOW ME STATE!
DCR is a complete joke dude…. holy shit.
so different compared to CO.
Good weed doesn’t need boveda/RH packs (in my opinion), I’ve never had to use one to keep my flower fresh i just keep it in a mason jar after dry trimming and curing and never had issues.
I understand that, but when you are growing 1000lbs + of finished flower per month, mason jars aren’t an option and weed is inevitably going to sit around for a few months before being purchased at a dispensary and smoked… especially when your retail model relies on deli style (like us)… Nature of the beast.
Boveda packs are a good way to maintain a good moisture content to combat under/over-drying on a commercial scale.
These guys think removing those is going to decrease moisture change in finished flower. It’s going to do the complete opposite.
For storage, I keep turkey bags in bins with (if needed) boveda packs in the bins but not in the flower lots themselves. If you’ve got it, you can also nitrogen back fill the bags and the bin.
I used them sometimes. The govt is strange because they dont even test the thc after the label/ have you ever heard of a weed recall due to too little thc? And why is it all 29 percent thc a and .3 delta 9? premature? OR FAKE NUMBERS?
i bought an 1/8 of il legal and when I opened the jar it wasnt even tightened before the label put on? It was double dosi and i love gsc varieties but it had lost all its smell.
ball jars go on sale seasonally.
We essentially do the same exact thing. They aren’t turkey bags, but big bin liners that we put in the black/yellow totes with boveda packs in the bin. Our CO said that will no longer be allowed.
Nitrogen would be a pain for sure, but we do have it on site… 
not a bad idea.
Try the Home Depot red or black husky totes with the neoprene seal. That’s ridiculous that’s still an issue.
Even with sealed bags and the boveda packs in the bin but not in the lot?
our bin liners aren’t air tight. they don’t technicaly seal, unless we heat seal em. We can fold/twist/wrap em up so there is very little (if any) air getting into them, but not technically sealed.
Would Boveda packs outside of a sealed bag still be helpful to the contents inside the sealed bag?
FUCK! Did they finally figure out boveda packs are made of heroin?! Took them long enough. Hand me the rubber hose because I’m going in deep with 80% humidity. Get the narcan ready boys
they’re so clueless man, it’s wild. can’t believe these are the people making and enforcing laws in the industry. Our CO was telling us she has no idea how a Boveda pack works but she knows they’re about to be banned… they’re so out of touch.
Husky totes are the only way to go for flower storage imo
And yes it does since turkey bags or like material are considered breathable or permeable.
That’s what I do for flower lots. Then you can just control the totes own micro climate and not necessarily the space the totes are sitting in. This work for humidity obviously and not temp of course.
Not that I have gallons of flower these days, but these screw-top lids for 5 gallon buckets seem decent:
these seem decent, they have the neoprene seals as well. The wide mouth glass carboys and c-vaults seem ideal
Hey,
I use thèse barrels. 
They are normalised, stackable widely available in Eu (I guess in us too) and range from 30L to 200L Plastic is sturdy and food grade.
Hello from Mo! The boveda ban is revolving around packaging compliance and less anything environmental. The bovedas were deemed non compliant in FINISHED goods due to the logo on the packs. This is out of compliance in DCR’s eyes because of 1 the logo on the pack and 2 the “addition” of something in the finished good to entice purchase.
Silly for sure. I would possibly explore a personal variance that likely will never be responded to or wait for the inevitable variance for this rule that will be coming.
Pretty silly. Rove clears 10m a month in MO and is adding shit constantly inside packaging and most blunt manufacturers are out of compliance with their wrap missing warning labels.
Just wait till the new rules come out that are up for hearing next week;) (They don’t have anything to do with GDF owning 60% of the retail footprint in the state!)
