Long term Storage Issues
- Thread starter fe_1010
- Start date
1 quart mason jars are the bomb.
I've tried bigger jars but it seems only the 1 quart work the best.
I slow cure all my weed and keep it in a cool dark spot ( 40 to 50 degrees ) And I burp them at least once a week after 1 month slow cure.
I have had weed cured for almost 18 months...I had a MMOG kush end up tasting like coffee with a hint of fruitiness. Insane tasting...yum.
Some weed taste and smokes better the longer the cure.
I never use plastic and regardless of how many lbs I get at harvest, after drying I use 1 quart jars for cure...I bought 2 new flats for next harvest ( 24 jars )
2 years is the longest I've had weed curing.
Freezer is good for storing trim and pop corn for hash....but the freezer just dries them out too much for the buds.

My method of long term storage works well. If I plan on keeping for a long period I will dry my weed normally but leave whats going to be stored to dry out completely, another day or two.
Once completely dry, I then put the pot into a zip loc baggie, with a straw I remove as much air I can without crushing the dried bud. Now that the bag is sealed I tape the zipper end over the side of the baggie to make a uniform package. I then use a vacumn sealer for the complete seal.
Bagging and sealing the zip loc doesn't allow the vacumn sealer to crush the dried herb and you end up with this double bagged pound of pot ready for the freezer.
Re-hydrating is simple, I take an ounce of wet shake and out it and put it into the zip loc with the bone dry weed, then take that straw again and fill the baggie with air and seal it back up. Generally it takes a couple of days to rehydrate.
Ends up almost like the day you harvested.
I have 3 pounds currently in storage, 3 years old, I recently opened the 4th and after rehydrating most people would not ever know it was stashed for 3 years.
Don't try just the vacumn sealer with dry bud, you'll end up with dust!

I have some of my first two harvests, been in mason jars in a tote for 10 months. I do notice, however, that the Neville's Haze does not give me the same high as it did when it was newer. It is still good and gets me lit, just not as racy and euphoric. THC degradation perhaps?

TY for this, back in the 80's I used to purchase Hawaiian that came vacuum sealed in very thick food storage type plastic...always wondered how they did that w/o crushing bud.

Check this out, I have used Food Saver's for yrs for processed meals and they work.
I have both sizes of this and use both for stash storage.
