How do vacuum the air from the jar?

I use a thing called a Pump and Seal (http://www.pump-n-seal.com/). Inexpensive and works.

I'm two weeks away from harvesting a U.K Cheese hybrid. Definitely gonna break up an ounce into eights and open at six month intervals. Glad to know a two year cure is still good.

i've cured stuff for 6 months and yeah, it's awesome!

Just an FYI. I'm using a Foodsaver with the wide mouth jar attachment now instead of the Pump n Seal. The adhesive on the tabs sorta degrades after a few years and it got messy. Not the tabs on the jar, the big sheet of them that came with the Pump n Seal. Still loving vacuum sealing for storage. I've got one jar that I sealed in Sept. 2009 that I'm going to open in Sept. 2014.

I'm not sure what you mean. I've got a jar that's been sealed for 3.5 years, that's the one I'll open 9/2014. At that point it will be 5 years. The strain is my house strain, a Hashberry/Lockdown cross.

Awesome stuff. I never made it past the year mark without smoking it all up. Taste so good with a long cure plus the hash made from long term cured bud is the best to me.

one of my buddies dads has bud hes been curing for around 2 years now and I dont think it would get me half as high if it wasnt cured for so long. Not the best bud dont get me wrong , but I do agree with a proper cure over that time and not in a baggy in somebodys closet , its better.

Dragging this to the top for new members. Only 7 more months. Thanks OP great thread, how is your cellar coming along?

How dry are your buds when you put them into storage? I'm using 62% BP's right now, going on about 4mo. I'm thinking about taking the packs out and then vacuum sealing the jars. I was wondering if I should dry the buds a little more before I vac seal them. Right now, with BP's, my buds are not crispy. When I pull them out of the jars they will roll and smoke fine but I prefer to let them dry out for a couple hrs. before smoking.
