Smoke Report: 2 years in storage

Painting them black was a PITA but I used the PlastiDip paint on them which seems to be wearing very well. It's also seems to provide some protection to the glass itself. My cat knocked one of the jars off my nightstand onto the floor and the jar didn't break.

Cool thread, definitely longer than I can hold out.

Hell yea man, looks great, wish i could take a hit

i think FDD did somthing like that, but only for a year, looked just like that, +REP

I really wish I could take credit for "holding out" but in all honesty, it wasn't difficult. I grow more than enough to keep myself in plenty of weed. Now if I had ran out...

Now that I've tried the results, I wish I had been putting more of it away; this stuff is going to go fast.

I think i may try something like this.I used to get smoked put by an old hippie years back and his bud was at least 6 months to a couple years old.to this day i havent tasted anything like it.the flavor was just so deep.

thats awesome dude Im am going to try something similar I saved a gram from my last harvest from almost a year ago im going to smoke it when i harvest my next batch

Great to hear!!! I have a bunch in little jars vac sealed.

Though ex-GF had some 8 year old stuff. wasn't kept well, tasted like poo and was ultra weak. (but was her ex-hubby's weed. Was fun to watch her trying to smoke. She had NO clue. she even held her nose once while inhaling. lol)

nice experiment man. +rep

Haha, at my house, this same experiment would become the 2 month smoke report.. If i cud even last that long without busting the cap off and smoking it..

Excellent thread!

I have been keeping my grow in quart mason jars after cure, I actually just use my canner to seal the jars. I keep the jars in a dark unheated closet. What I grow lasted the year from harvest to harvest. I am supplementing the outdoor grow with a new indoor grow closet set-up. So many things I could not experiment with on the girls outside in the dirt, gonna have some fun this long cold winter!!

I never thought about painting the glass... good idea that I will try in a couple days when my bud is cured enough for the jar.

Peace!

I would wank to leave a small spot on the jar unpainted so that you can check for mold without opening the jar

Great info, TechnoMage! I am a small timer and this would be absolutely perfect for me... PLUS, I already have a vaccum dealie. Cool!

I'm sure that "wank" was supposed to be "want", but either way I'm laughing my ass off! Cheers!

Good report.
I have kept bud tightly packed in mason jars for up to 3 years and it was actually better than when I put it up. (I am smoking a blooberry/haze from two years ago right now and it is awesome.) Never removed the air, though. Since air and light are what diminish THC, I packed them kinda tight and kept it in the dark. Nothing too warm. I will open up the jars and remove contents for about five minutes, every six months or so. It helps the cure and makes it real smoooth
Years ago, I used to have these Jamaican bibles. Kept some in the freezer for years and it was always good to go.
Keeping the air and light away is the key.

I tried several type of paint and the PlastiDip was by far the best. Doesn't scratch as easily and seems to protect the glass.

Not sure how well that would work. By the time the mold spread enough that it was showing up in the small spot, the whole jar would be ruined.

Want to thank everyone for all the kind words/rep, much appreciated.

Here at the Old Hippy House we've been keeping the buds in the deep freezer for years and have never had a problem. After it's been cured it goes into 1/2 gallon mason jars and into the freezer next to the half a cow worth of steaks and the case of tortillas. It's gonna be a nice winter here

The k is a fair distance from the t on a keyboard dont you think? LOL

This thread took me back to my beer making days. See midwestsupplies.com for a canister of nitrogen flush $10...It replaces the oxygen at the top of a wine or beer bottle with nitrogen and co2. It is used in the food industry so it is safe,,,,This way no hole has to be put in the lid.Just spray for one or two seconds and quickly place the lid on the jar. I have not tried it but I will...

I've used it before on wine but it always seemed a little pricey for what it does.

I'm trying to convince my wife that we need a FoodSaver for storing food. The canning jar attachment will just be a happy coincidence.

I use .50 caliber surplus ammo cans stored under the house. Rubber vacuum seal and though I don't take the air out I have some excellent two-year old smoke.
