So i found these 2 jars in a piece of luggage stored in my basement. An old CH9 strain called Flower. An extremely sativa leaning hybrid from his early catalog.
the lids were sealed tight and i had to pry a bit to break the seal. But the flower is more than 5 years old. And it was not vacuum sealed. I just forgot about them when we moved.
no bad smell. In fact a nice light fruity tangerine sativa smell. Ch9 actually made tangie. Dna stole the name later.
No mold or anything ugly under the microscope. And the trichomes are intact. Nice long old school sativa trichs with a blackened a bit, cloudy or still transparent amber trichomes. Very few brown degraded ones seen.
But is it safe to smoke? Im sure i have smoked old weed that wasnt so well preserved over the years. I have even knowingly smoked moldy weed as a kid.
but what to do...
Some pics with flash some no flash.
