Hi All,
I have my last crop in and cured. The smoke is nice and smooth yet what do i do now

? I have about 1/2 lb of bud that I need to keep fresh and strong. What is the best way to store for a few months (3-6).

Not interested in selling off this is just for me and my personal needs. So what do i do now?

These are good threads...

Ganjaluvrs Drying & Curing Broken Down into Understandable English
A perfect cure every time

I have posted a thread in the harvesting and curing section asking about long term storage. You might check there later.

glass mason jars stored in a cool dark place....make sure the RH is somewhere between 58 - 62% (buy a digital hygrometer from a cigar shop)...lots of good info in the Harvest & Cure section

 

[thatboyis1uvakind]

Jars will be fine...dark cool place...pop top every once in awhile

 

[Sand4x105]

After you have perfectly cured... Six Month storage ?
Time to buy a vac sealer .... A month jars...
Two jars....
Three months ? I'd vac seal it, in a monthly supply amount...

 

[technical dan]

If you want to keep it as flowers then jars as has been said. You could also hash it if you want to reduce the mass of your stash........ earl away .

Google Boveda Humidipaks...throw those in with your bud in mason jars and you will be good to go and continuing to cure while storing...i have some flowers in a pint jar that have been vaccum sealed with a hygrometer for over three months and stay pretty steady around 62%. Keeping them closed for another three just to see if these things are legit...

Start smoking more pot.

Start smoking more pot.

Yeah, I like that answer!

Not judging...but, I don't know how some of these folks function. I mean really, over 4-10 grams a day? Ok, if you are sick or injured and using weed for medicine, I understand.

Recreational, man I just have too much stuff that needs to get done everyday.

 

[Hugo Phurst]

Air tight containers...freeze it.

 

[Trousers]

Freezing weed is not a good idea.
If it is cured properly it will be fine in airtight jars in a dark cool place.
Some people claim weed peaks at 6 months, for me it is about 3 months

Why do you think your weed goes the other way after 3 months? i'm just trying to get my arms wrapped around this process. I will be experiementing with mine and tracking the results for future grows.

 

[Hugo Phurst]

I've been freezing my (dried & cured) weed for years, I haven't noticed any degradation of potency.

 

[DeeTee]

I've kept my buds in mason jars in a cool dark place for more than a year and it was just as good as the day I jared it, as long as it was cured properly and I'm sure it would last even longer.

I have never stored bud by freezing it but have had great success in storing the cured bud in mason jars. I keep them in a cool dark place and have stored quality bud for over a year.
