A friend of mine just bought a whole bunch of lush marijuana buds. He doesn't smoke that often and he's wondering the best way to store it as it will probably take him several months to consume it all. Seems like just leaving it in the baggies would make it dry out or something? Should it be kept in glass jars maybe? I don't know, help. |

I had this dream when I was a kid that i flew up to space and was able to breathe by having a really long tube that was hanging down into earth's atmosphere hehah.. So umm.. someone give me some guidance on airtight storage please.. I'm sure theres some sort of thing that people do, but I'm jusdt not tapped into that culture enough to be familliar with their methods. |

Bloddy hell he's not got a barn full of the stuff.. I don't think he needs to worry about rodents nesting in it. innit |

we've always used spice jars. of course we smoke our weed rather quickly and usually don't have to worry about it drying out. |

Ha holy shit. Look at this guy's 4 steps to distinguishing marijuana quality.. "look at it" hjahahahj |

if possible, the freezer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

otherwise try to keep it airtight as possible in those sealable bags. it doesnt dry off that quickly but even if it does its easier to smoke anyway |
||||||||

I often keep marijuana in a spice jar and it lasts suprisingly well - I've even got one bud over 2 years old and it's still smokable - A little harsh maybe, but not as bad as you'd expect. If you keep it in one of those air tight glass jars, with the big rubber lid thing, it can improve over time. Usually when you buy marijuana it's not been dryed or cured properly cos they don't have 3 or 4 weeks to do it properly - Means you have to store more at a time I guess - So higher risk, lower turn over. I've had it kept airtight for a month before, only to come out smelling and tasteing better than it went in. |

I keep my weed in the plastic container from a middle of a kinder easteregg in the fridge when I'm not using it, a lot of the time. Nice and crisp :P |

put it in 2 layers of ziplock baggies with the air pressed out and put it in the fridge. if you don't put it in cold storage, there is a chance it could mold. it's sad, but i've had it happen. I keep smaller amounts in 50ml Corning Centrifuge tubes. but i work in a lab where they are abundant. |

One day I'm planning on storing a big wad of bud in a bottle of vodka for 6 - 12 months, depending on how long I can wait |

for long term storage, freezer............. if it dries out, just put it in a bag with a small piece of orange peel (or lemon, or abit of apple etc. etc.) and it will rehydrate to it's original condition...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh yeh but be careful as too much moisture could again lead to mold. and there ain't nothing sadder than an eighth of moldy weed. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If an eigth last you long enough to get mouldy your not trying hard enough! :) |

Y'know what's worse? People who feel the need to 'cure' homegrown, or worse again, people who grind dutch bud to powder prior to selling it (this is very prevalent round my neckothewoods) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
lol, no i had a few of them eighths and the last one got moldy. but i do live in Seattle where Mildew is practically the state flower. |

its a good story actually: several years ago there was a good sized earthquake here in seattle. My friend's landlord had to check out one of his properties for damages. when he got inside the place, he found the the tennent had a major grow-op set up. To avoid being responsible and possibly ending up in jail and loosing the house, he was forced to call the police, but before making the call he gathered up a couple pounds of the stuff and rushed it over to my friend's house. anywho, my friend had too much weed for one man and decided to donate a bunch to me. I of course was happy to find homes for the poor rattled buds. |

a sealed tupperware box in a cool dark cupboard is all you need. will stay fresh for years. |

glass container in the freezer is your best bet for longer term storage, and use the smallest container that will work. i haven't read the whole thread though, so maybe you already know that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah in the freezer, worked for me in the past |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wont they get very brittle and .. such? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if theres alot of moisture in them to begin with you'll need to defrost, if not they'll be ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do *not* freeze it if it's not dried yet. a properly sealed jar will not "freezer burn" the material. if you freeze when it's dry but not brittle, when you remove it from the jar and it warms up to room temperature it will be in the same state as when you froze it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it's dry and you only want to keep it for a few months, anything with a good airtight seal will work fine. The worst that could happen is it gets quite harsh to smoke. If you want you can divide it up just to keep from letting air in when you take some out, and don't grind it until you use it to reduce the surface area. |
||||||||

|
hurry you've to smoke it all at once otherwise it's wasted, no I'm kiddin I'm still smoking pot that I've harvested in september last year and it's still ok, if you really want to store it for over a year it's best stored in the fridge |
