The moisture content of properly cured cannabis flowers should be below 13%. Testing the moisture content of your cannabis products can help determine the effectiveness of your curing process and highlight the quality of your product.
The lower the water activity, the less likely a product will grow microbial contaminants. Testing for water activity can help determine the cause of contamination and ensure that your product remains compliant with regulations.

Water Activity/Moisture Content
Moisture balances can help improve the accuracy of analytical techniques, since results are determined on a dry weight basis. Also, if the moisture content is above 12%, the product is prone to mold growth. Some states also require water activity meters, especially for storage of product, to prevent mold growth.
