[o2hustla]

hi to all, everyone who knows me knows i have just harvested my crop ( i got just under 3 oz from my big bud x nl ). i am now wondering if its possible to store buds for a long time and what is the best way to store them. ie: type of container, temps, etc... is it safe to store in the freezer ?
can anyone give me some info on how to store my buds properly without the risk of mould etc ?
any info will be greatly recieved.

I've heard of putting them in black film cases, because they're dark and has a good seal. And then, storing them in the fridge, for how long...I don't know.

Can anyone confirm this?

Works....my parents do it and they have been smoking forever

I've always heard glass is better than plastic. For long term storage you need your jars to be airtight, in a cool dark place imo.

Let us know how long it stays fresh for!

I mentioned black containers because it stops direct sunlight breaking it down...

i might have to buy some black containers for storage. i will let you all know how i get on.

if you heat the jars first in the oven on low, you can store for years and years. like making jam.

How does heating the jars, preserve the bud?

Yup, that's what I've heard, and the mason jars are what I presume is what that picture is, or similar.....

yeah there air tight?

I believe so, they use them to store pasta and cereal, so, it's got to be airtight, right

when you heat the jars, the air cools and compresses forming a tight seal, like you would with pickles or jam. you know when you open a jar of food and hear that 'pop'? that's a tight seal baby. you can store it for years that way. i read about it in my high times grow guide.

your buds have to be cured or perfectly dry to jar or can.

Ok, I'll take that on board.....thanks

i read about it in my high times grow guide. you heat the jars at about 150 degrees (not too high) so when they cool, the air creates a suction. like when you open a jar and you hear that 'pop'. you can store for years that way if they are cured properly. if you just screw a lid on a jar, it's not vaccumed sealed for freshness.
