[One drop]

My wife vac seals our weed and stores in blacked lockable totes in our cool store area we had some NL#5 she grew in 1998 as good as the day it was packed n vac . I cold cure my weed as well I live so far south my penguins wear pullovers all summer long ......

The method I use for long term storage is I take a freezer bag full of bud and seal it loose without pulling a vacuum, then I snip a corner off and insert a small hose thats connected to a Co2 tank down to the bottom corner of the bag and purge it with gas, then reseal the snipped corner. Then the sealed and purged bags go into small 3 gallon pails in the deep freeze. The pail is just to protect them against being handled or damaged while frozen.

Great reply...thank you!

Great reply...thank you!

...and thanks for the warning! I wouldn't want solid nugs with ruthless potency especially if it's a silky smooth smoke.

This is my first time, I have dried plants until the stem on the bud broke clean from main stem. I took all buds and put them in a jar in my safe and I open it one once a day to burp? Anyone I'd like to keep as long as I can so any pointers at all or if im doing something wrong. After burping process I wanted to vacuum seal.

I vac seal and cold cure. My sealer has a gentle setting but it will still turn a bag into a solid brick. After sealing it's stored in a mini fridge set just above freezing. I don't concern myself with burping or any of that stuff since I also cold dry for about 3-4 weeks. Once the weed is bagged after that it can be sealed for a very long time without opening.
No issues with molds or crushing the buds here. What I do get is some loud as fuck stinky weed, solid nugs, silky smooth smoke, and ruthless potency by preserving the THC and full bouquet of terps. A zero oxygen environment and cold temps is great for preserving weed.
All I can say is I've tried many different ways to cure and store weed and after getting into this tech I wont do it any other way. I was using containers then bagging them up and vac sealing them but after a huge haul last year I didn't have enough containers so I used just the bags and everything still turned out very well for me

Here's my stash in the mini fridge. When ever I need weed I just pull out a bag and unload it into a c-vault for daily smoke. Some of these bags have been in here since October 2020

Here's a nug of California Chrome that was bagged and vac sealed October 2020 and finally opened about 3 weeks ago. About 7 months spent in a vacuum and stored at 38*. Never crushed, still very dense, and is stinking up my house as I type this
