Freezer cure?

so my stash got low and I decided to see how some popcorn nugs Id put in the freezer for edibles would smoke. 3-4 days after taking them out and putting them in jars burping a few times ive got smoke able weed.

And it's better than the stuff ive had jarred for that entire time (5 months)

Did I stumble onto something here? Or do people do this already? Read a few Google search results about it and am as we speak.

I have herd of keeping it in the freezer, to preserve freshness

that was before I herd and got in the practice of curing using mason jars and hydrometers

right now I have the 62% packs and I'm having a hard time getting past 64-65%

Well I googled it and apparently freezing it will damage the buds, in particular the trichomes would freeze and fall off. I can't say for sure if that's happened to mine but it's definitely preserved the terpenes and ive got a much smoother smoke than with my jarred stuff. I also usually use boveda but the 69% ones.

if your weed is better at 5 months in the freezer or in a jar than it is a month after drying something is wrong
The dry and cure on this strain wasn't great. I would say they got too dry and I used the 69% bovedas to increase it, but the same batch freezer dried came out perfect. The smells were better and smoke was smoother.

You're right though, comparing a rotten apple to a rotten banana is hardly a comparison, I could've cured this strain better. It was my trans Siberian which ive posted previously commited suicide and I continued to grow it. It yielded me well.

It takes longer and longer between each drop in humidity. Say it took 3 days to go from 64% to 63%. Itll take 5 or 6 days to drop again. . Because it takes longer before it sweats again.
