long term storage for cannibis

[Ponky]

Does anyone else just put their buds in a garbage bag and smoke only the tops and end up tossing away pounds of dried perfectly good weed? Or just me?

that’s probably the only good thing if needed is storage space compared to jars..
i store my in plastic 5 gallon pails until needed and it’s always as just like the day i put it in there, stinky, sticky/marshmallow like..
i make hash and oil so i need to protect every trichome i got..

Thanks. I use 18 5 gallon buckets hooked up to aquarium pumps to cure my bud. They do keep the bud fresh, however, eventually they go into high quality Mylar bags zipped and then heat sealed. In my opinion, for my operation they work better than seal a meal or wide mouth mason jars.
We can put 1/4 pound of bud (or more) into gallon size Mylar bags much easier and faster than trying to fill mason jars.
Hand me a mason jar full of dry bud and I can shake the trichomes off without ever opening the jar. I guess if we used Mylar bags for punching bags the buds would deteriorate also, so we don’t do that.

Ok? I'm sorry if I missed something, but are you really selling them or just being facetious? I don't mind the extra work, everything on my farm is done by hand, anyway. I have a crop of smokable hemp flower coming down next week that we need to start thinking about storage options for.

sure. No, I can’t ship the mason jars to you at this time because it’s harvest time, a very busy time for this old farmer. If you’re

really looking for 300 jars to help with your operation, please consider the hands on method for curing and storing your buds in a more practical method using 5 gallon buckets as described above. That way you won’t have to try and sell hundreds of mason jars once you realize they just don’t work on larger operations.

Ok. I've had a couple coffees and managed to mellow out a bit but some of yall defend Mason Jars like you personally got stocks invested in MSNJR Can we all not just be happy and appreciative of more options?

Amen. Proper curing and long term storage is what we all need. Long time homie and hash maker finds quality gallon bags work best for processing, curing AND for vacuum storage. Less handling = less loss. Gallon bags hold a quarter and are perfect to open up for curing. When ready, 2 quarters to a large cray o vac bag to seal. Just need to take care to close off a small open

spot in the middle of your 2 inner gallon bag zippers when you are happy during the vacuum process to avoid a sucky smash of your finished product. 8 pounds of Pistachio in this batch. Fluffy to smoke, AND easy to process for hash with very little loss. 3 year old Notorious and Purple Haze still smokes great ! Take your time, no easy way to do long term storage. I also vacuum seal my 14.5 G hand made dry hash chunks. IMO Quality Bags for curing PLUS vacuum bags are less damaging, much easier and work great for double protected long term storage. Give it a try next year.

I vacuum bag all my weed. I give away every thing and keep about a lb and a half. I only have it for a year, still fresh when I cut one open.I’ve never had any complaints, I definitely ain’t gonna be burping mason jars all winter . As long as you are satisfied with your own method, go with it. If after a yr your weed is shitty, try something else.

I use the 3 and 5 gallon black buckets with the gammon screw on sealed lids.

Shoot if i could keep a lb. around i would be happy Jimmie i just can't i like to give out mine too. That's why i grow indoors and outdoors. And i love to roll huge joints but i don't use those " wraps " i just join 2 raw 1 1/2 papers and make fatties LOL. I get entertained easily
