I can imagine storing powders for lengths of time would need to be in a dry environment. Maybe break the huge bag down to a handful of smaller bags and use silica packs.

You can get some inexpensive storage containers that have a gasket. I use the Sterilite containers for storing flour, sugar, rice, dogfood, etc... that I buy in large bulk bags. $10 at HD, Lowes, Walmart, etc... Just make sure to get something with a gasket so it's airtight. There's other brands that work the same as well. They come in a variety of sizes.

Checked my jacks and it's fine and has been stored 2 years in no special conditions. We average 25% humidity here so ymmv.
It will probably gel at humidities greater than 30-35%.

I use these as well. I also make 1 gallon concentrates of Part A+Epsom and Part B, and just treat it like I'm using bottled nutes. It saves time feeding and you dont have to expose your salts to humid air as often. I just pour out 35ml/gallon of each jug and have a feed ready in a couple minutes.
