i just harvested some Lowlife ak47 about two weeks ago and i want to take about 2 ounces and keep it around for a while. would freezing it be worth the trouble or should i just leave it in a canning jar sitting in a dark place. i have done this for years but my bud always looks like crap after a month or two. it turns brown and real crispy. i like the way it smokes right now and smells lovely. would freezing it right now keep it this way. i was going to use small jars with a about 14 grams in each so i didnt have to open it all at once. and how long would it last in a freezer. im hopeing until at least next 420. any info would be greatly appreciated

considering reports of others curing, i would think there is something wrong with your jars or the way you store them


bud cured for a year in a jar, is supposed to be the bees knees. or some really really good shit, if i move abit closer to modern expressions.

I am smoking last years harvest....never been in freezer....cured and then packed in gallon mason jars, vacuum sealed and stored in a cardboard box in cool dry and dark location.

The taste and smoke is just fine thanks...

thanks for your help. im probably going to just keep in my basemant in NEW jars that i picked up this morning. i have a nice spot to put them in now. hopefully they last a little longer. i am going to freeze an ounce just for a trial run and see what happens.

spaceman do you vacuum seal your jars?

I do & then store the jars in a box in a rarely used closet. I smoked some of my weed that was 2 years old and it was killer!

yeah, have to be airtight and if you dont have a vacum sealer...

well all the extra air in the jars (specially if big jars) is gonna keep on working on them.

but ive never cured (its on my todo list) so im really talking out of my ass here.
its just logical and according to what ive read on the subject.,

hey space... i read another thread which said that freezing breaks up the cannaboid molecules....or something....which was a pain cos i was gonna freeze.....
now im just gonna vacuum pack , and leave them in the vegetable crisper ( brand new idea, it was airtight jars last time ) . The bag im using isnt airtight tho. gotta buy a machine...lol. i'll check back on here 2 see wot u all say. hope it help. toz

try to stay with glass storage mediums....trichomes will stick to plastic...plastic has also been known to effect taste in long term
