Vacuum sealer for storage

Bringing this back up for more ideas. I thought it would be a good idea since it would virtually "freeze" the moisture and quality. With small quanities I have just put in a baggie then a cottage cheese carton and that seemed to work ok for my small boughten batches.
I grew two GSC that I think is ready to put up. I've been keeping them in plastic sealed tubs and burping but see no moisture after being sealed so think they may be ready.
I put a batch of trim in the vac-pac today and it really compressed it.
What do you think?
Thanks for any help

I think if you vac-pac it in a plastic bag you will ruin -- at least the bag appeal -- of your buds. You can use a vacuum sealer to vacuum seal mason jars, but you need the machine and the attachment (I use a FoodSaver V2244 which I got from amazon.com), as well as the jars. I do this -- and toss in an O2 absorber -- and it seems to work well. If you have a lot or steadily have some to stash, it is definitely worthwhile but for a-few-grams-of-bud-once-in-a-while it may well be a bit much. Just keeping it in a mason jar -- particularly with a Boveda 62 tossed in it -- will keep it just fine for a long while. Proceed with caution when squeezing all the air out of flexible bags full of nice fat buds, though.

I've used the seal a meal bags for several yrs for long term storage after the cure, but I do not vac them. Compared to zip lock bags, it's light years better. This last summer I got a new GameSaver vac-u-seal I got the wide mouth jar attachment also. So far I'd say the vac sealed jars are at least as good for storage as the non vac seal a meal bags. I've played a little bit with vac sealing jars between burbs during the dry/cure, but can't say if it better or worse than jars sealed at atmospheric pressure.

Pump-N=Seal, cheap and works fantastic

I finally decided to put mine in jars. I used the (vac-pac) attachment that sucks the air out but doesn't squish the medicine.

How long can bud be stored in jars or vacuume seal bags? Years?

Regardless of how it's stored the breakdown of THC is imminent. After a year the breakdown process is well underway.

During the 1970's most of the import was old, mishandled, squashed, and every thing else. I know that I can return the lost hydrogen molecule to the cannabinoid and turn it back to a THC molecule providing that too much degradation hasn't occurred, using a water enhanced with loose hydrogen molecules.
