deep freeze or cool and dark for long term storage?

Not much unfortunately.
Speaking in terms of total cannabinoid content, you may loose 2% of what thc you had over the course of a decade in the dark at 26°c with typical air in your house


With increased temp yiu speed chemical reactions
Running say nitrogen during a solvent purge in thin film can be quite effective due to the surface area, exposed cannabinoids ie waxy coating of trich in solution or removed, and the temp needed to effectively purge say butane.

Where normally just in the purge yiu may loose 5% of your starting.
Ie 70%thc 8%cbd 9% terp etc just made up numbers. You could see 66% thc 8%cbd (more stable)
Terps well thats just too varied. Some half thcs bp some twice thcs boiling point.

Just from oxidation

Here limiting oxygen can also help with color and texture
But this topic can dive into the iodine value and much deeper...

I posted a cool new storage product with a lock that is humidity control capable to keep everything fresh. I found the website link, it's shipping and it's the same one I got. Unlike other containers I have tried, this one actually works!
I use it daily, it's the perfect solution, just makes thing so much easier and less of a hassle. It holds everything from flower,edibles, concentrates and regular meds. They have a launch special with free shipping at www.sneakguard.com

it looks pretty cool but the $120 seems kinda pricey? do you think it was a good value now that you've had it a while? i noticed they market it to prevent "unintended ingestion"

By the way if anyone is interested in an update: I cut the plant and let the buds dry for one day or two...can't remember but just until the surface moisture was mostly gone but the buds still very very soft. I know I didn't dry them in the racks for more than 48 hours with just a ceiling fan and one little peddle fan going in a room. Simple! Then I put them in paper lunch bags and placed all the buds in my freezer for one month. Then I removed the bags and placed them in a cooler with a humidity and temp gauge. I burped the cooler for another day or so as the buds thawed and got to about 68-73 F % 60-62 % H. I let it get to around 56 % humidity before bring back to 62. They been in there for over another 30 or so days and are bomb. I hate opening the cooler because the are so fucking strong it makes me run the ozone machine for a few minutes and spray some ozone. It's really that strong. I did use some spanish cedar cigar trays off amazon to put in the cooler and it's really turned out great for me. This was a no fuse cure for me, set it and forget it...and it's my best cure yet. I don't feel like I'll ever need to do anything else.

Their father's day sale just kicked off, it's on sale for $99 with free shipping. Well worth it even at $120. It's not a toy, definitely built solid.

Not saying it's the best but I've pulled out 2 year old bud stored in the cool/dark and properly sealed jars which was as fresh as when it went in. I'm sure there was some degradation of THC but was still tasty and smoked well. Usually I just cycle my bud and hash anything that's been sitting around for a bit but the jars do the job as long as they're sealed properly and kept in a cool/dry spot.
