Saving trim and popcorn for oils, budder, etc...

[TCH]

When you save your trim and popcorn buds for use later to make oils and such, do you just put it in a ziploc bag and toss it in the freezer?

You can also dry it like your buds or on a screen for the leaves and then store like you store your weed. I usually just toss everything in the freezer but if it stays too long I lose some of the terpenes it seems like. If I'm planning on using it soon I'll just dry it and toss in a mason jar or several. Both work fine, just depends on how busy I am during trim jail.

Everything was dried already. I just trimmed and jarred it. Unfortunately, I think i dried a day too long. I threw a few buds in a jar this evening after work and they went right to 51-52% and stayed put. So, I pulled everything and started trimming. The trim and popcorn has a new home in the freezer for now. It will be used sometime in the future.

It's always hard to get drying just right. A little too dry won't kill you but too moist and you get mold. I've lost enough jars over the years to mold that I go a little bit on the over dry side now. It's better than missing a damp sugar leaf that molds a whole jar.
