Storage

Post by Iko »

What to do with weed that you will not be smoking for a month or two ?
Sealed glass jar, leave it in a zip lock, tuperwear, lidless ceramic teapot ?
Also on that note can you improve the "cure" of grass by ageing it ?

Get it out of plastic for sure! A sealed glass jar in a dark, not to warm, place is best. If your weed is kind of wet you can cure it by opening the jar for a few minuets each day for a few weeks, then a few times a week is fine. If you are going to store it for longer then a few months, freezing it is a good idea!

Airtight glass jar is the best. Plastic is porous, so even "airtight" plastic containers are not 100% airtight. Let alone ziplock bags.

Also, keep it in the dark while in storage!! Very important, as the sun rays slowly destroy the actives.

I heard from someone who had some nice cheese buds in a glass jar for over a year. He was worried they would have lost some flavor, but he says if anything they actually tasted better, more of a deep 'spicy' aroma as opposed to 'grassy'.

In my hands, weed never lasts so long, so I don't have first hand experience :) But whatever I'm not currently smoking, I do keep in a glass jar (still in the baggy as I don't wanna mix strains together)
