Hi everyone,
A couple of questions regarding storage of your harvested crop.
So, you've harvested, you've air dried, it, trimmed it, cured it ect.
You're 100 percent finished........
Now what?
If you've grown just for yourself, you may upwards of 15, 16 or more ounces to store.
Whats the best way to store it long term so that it stays fresh, keeps it's potency, taste and aroma?
I'v been thinking about this issue alot lately because I'm about 2 weeks from my own harvest.
One thing that I think will help me is that I'm also a Huge Cuban cigar enthusiast.
I have several thousand dollars of fine cigars that have to be kept in just the right conditions for long term storage.
Could weed possibly be stored in the same manner?
First off, what is the perfect RH for any type of long term storage?
You can buy bodeva packs at a number of different humidity levels.
These are little packs you toss into a container with your leaf, bud ect.
They are actually a 2 way exchange that give off or take in humidity depending on the pack you choose.
It comes in a vareity of humidity levels, from 58 up to 70
Another thought was a cryovac system to remove all the air from the container and seal it.
The food saver system comes to mind, just huck all your bud into the bag, hook it up to the machine and hit the button.
The machine pulls out all the air and then seals the top of the bag. Absolutely airtight.
Good idea, bad idea?
With all the air being pulled out like that, would the resin in the buds turn it into one big hunk of mess?
Dunno.....
Maybe traditional mason jars with the addition of a bodeva pack is the answer. If anyone has ideas, by all means let's hear it
