I’d consider something along the lines of the c-vaults.
C vaults or vac jars. Or just mason jars in a cool dark environment! Dj short cures in mason jars for several years for his favorite smoke.
c-vaults look cool! never heard of them before
I use this ghetto mason jar sealer - junky quality but works great - you can use it with any jar that has a metal lid:
Ultra long term storage? You are not far off when you ask the PVC question. Place sealed bags of fully dried and cured product inside a PVC pipe plain cap on one end threaded cap or clean out plug for the other then you have two options
- Vacuum seal, heat PVC tube with propane torch . While pipe is hot seal up threaded end. When pipe cools it will be under a vacuum.
- Nitrogen , nitrogen will displace oxygen in tube seal with cap nitrogen is how many products such as potato chips are bagged
I store large amounts in big jars and after making sure it is not too damp i leave it in a cool dark spot for up to a few years. I enjoy long cured bud more than fresh cannabis. The Orange Creamscicle i am smoking know is 6 months cured and pure candy.
The herb never lasts, once you start down the path of concentrates, pounds (kilos? Do you all use metric in CR?) won’t be enough.
you can also get “c-vaults” for cheaper on amazon
You can’t bury c-vaults
PVC is oxygen permeable
For long-term storage, consider concentrates or hash.
A babyfood jar of *RSO, *BHO or Rosin is easy to store and doesn’t degrade as fast as flowers. *(don’t blow yourself up)
Or, just build yourself a hash driveway like the Trailer Park Boys…
Forget storing the flower for the zombie apocalypse, store the seeds! I have a stash of seeds on my bug out bag. In fact, that’s all I have in my bug out bag!
Just make sure there are no bugs in the bag
I bury glass jars, glass is the best for me
In case of apocalypse I’d do like ReikoX, all those public parks with neverending lawns, all those football fields mmmmh
Leave the food! Leave the water! I am taking my seeds!
Seriously, hemp seed is a great food source, a medicine, and entertainment. Not to mention all the N from decomposing zombie bodies I wonder if smoking those buds will turn you into a zombie? Will you walk around saying strains instead of brains ?
Yeah that’s good except for the steel lids will rust out
I saw dehulled hemp seed in the Walmart grocery store two nights ago,I was mildly impressed
Sounds like me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you grease the outside of the lid before wrapping the whole jar with shrink film before putting it in the dirt I’s say you’re good for a decade at least
I have heard, stored just this way, cannabis will retain as much as 95% potency after 1 year, and the flavors are worth waiting for.
My mom told me dad used to do this when I was a kid, she thought it was so funny that all his weed turned to moldy buds - guess he didn’t wait for the dry and cure before burying - once he got the hang of it I was told it was out of this 30 years ago that was how my dad made good weed hahaha
Now I know its here somewhere…
