I am living in Canada, our temperatures get pretty low during winter, been storing my harvest outside in airtight containers this summer, but winter is coming, is there any chance that freezing temperature swings ruin my buds?

Yes! From frost and defrost. I predict mold quickly. If you keep it totally frozen until ready for use that’s one thing. But I’m in Alaska and can picture what I said about the moisture.

Or a vacuum sealer is what my neighbor uses. He rips open bags 3 years old and it’s still primo.

I would certainly think it has degraded a decent amount.

For sure.... If my house gets over 75° in the summer jars go into the freezer. I couldn't imagine having the temps swing everyday. That can't be good for any consumable product. The change of temp making the buds sweat in a closed jar or whatever it's stored in ... Yikes

I vacuum packed some weed and tossed it in the freezer.
I think I used too much vacuum. Whatcha think?

Bet it’s almost the same when you open it as it was when you sealed it.I vacuum packed some weed and tossed it in the freezer.

My buddy used to do this. Then chop it on a block with a butcher knife! Lol. Ah the old days....I vacuum packed some weed and tossed it in the freezer.

The squishing is why I just vac my jars now. Keeps the buds nice and unsquished.

I knew they were going to get squished. It's all still there. I don't really care what it looks like. I'm just going to break it up and smoke it anyway.
I know it will be. I've done this before and a year later it was the same as when I packed and froze it. Takes up less space in the freezer and gives me more room for meat and other foodstuffs.
