Awesome pics Shrubs!! Do you ever vacuum seal your jars or nitrogen seal them? How do you do long term storage? Or does it never last long enough for that to be an issue?? :)

Thanks,

This is my first commercial harvest. I harvested the bastard step-children which were in the
warehouse when I was hired. Turned out at 9 lbs, but I never considered it mine. And it
was sold in about 3 weeks. So never had an issue with long term storage. And I like to burp
the jars once/twice a day for the first week or two.

My personal meds are stored for about 3 months. I can't say I notice any degradation. I keep
them in a dark place sealed in the jar and that seems to be fine. I don't think I'll be storing anything
here or longer than that. We'll see.

Cool deal bro! :) Was just curious...my friend in Humboldt had told me that Nitrogen sealing was the big thing out there now for long term storage...gives it a tight vacuum seal and then injects nitrogen gas to feed the plant matter so to lessen aging. Crazy huh? THats my super noob-ed out version of nitrogen sealing...I'm sure there's more to it than that..but it sounded pretty nice if you planned on keeping it long periods of time! :)

PS -- Oh ya, one last question...

is it a bitch to manicure the buds with all the leave matter dried on them? I heard it was more tedious and difficult to trim that way, that true?

Not in my opinion. It's easier to trim dry. The leaves are so dry they break right off.
You can snap the leaf at the petiole no problem and not have to worry about bending
and twisting.

Not to mention the aromas and flavors from hanging entire plants and trimming once dry has been
unmatched in my trials.

The Nitrogen is only used to displace the other air within the jar. They don't supply the plant matter with food ;). The units are Nitrogen Flushing machines. Definitely cool.

I'll be lookin in to them when business is boomin.

I appreciate the info, I was beginning to wonder what were the best options.

I do believe a flushed sealed container or bag would be the best.

Yea I see so many scrubs trim with their leaves on right after they just blew their load chopping a plant. Drying with the leaves on is how the pro's do. I remove a few of the larger fan leaves to aid in airflow through the congested maze of colas towards the top when you hang them. Other than that all the smaller leaves will stay on her and essentially sweat herself dry, have a nice dehumidifer in the room. Whatcha know, your weed wont smell like hay anymore! Shrubs actually was the first to show me to dry with the leaves on my first harvest and Ive never done any differently since. Everything just smells so great and just pops at you when you crack a jar, cant argue with the results.
