If using vacuum you do not need a "oxygen absorber".does anyone know how big of an oxygen absorber to put in when you vacuum seal a pound and how long does it take to absorb the oxygen before refrigerating ?
i got it figured out earlier just took a bit more reading. vacuum seal jars to full vacuum add oxygen asorber to get any remaining oxygen that could degrade thc. refrigerate to prevent the bacteria that causes botulism as the moisture content of the flowers is high enough to invite that in a no oxygen environment. dont freeze refrigerate so as not to damage the trichome heads.I don't think that freezing would stop an oxygen absorber from working. It's basically ferris metal powder inside of the pack, it absorbs the oxygen and makes rust.
I'd still use one in the packages, it's cheap insurance
What size oxygen absorber did you end up using?

i did some reading on that subject as well, sometimes companies lie about how many cc there oxygen absorbers are its best to weigh them from my understanding i bought some that weighed 10 grams, they claimed to be 500 cc probably overkill there very cheap.What size oxygen absorber did you end up using?

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck, hope they work out for protecting your harvest long term!i did some reading on that subject as well, sometimes companies lie about how many cc there oxygen absorbers are its best to weigh them from my understanding i bought some that weighed 10 grams, they claimed to be 500 cc probably overkill there very cheap.
That should work well I would think budBeen thinking of using Argon to displace air from jar before I seal for long term.
