I am looking to vacuum seal for long term storage. Does anyone have a suggestion or tips in this department? I am thinking vaccum bags will crush......?:48:
nvthis said:I have done bud with mine. It compacts the bud a bit and will make a handfull of buds together "brick-like". But whatever. The only thing I didn't dig about it was when opened the bag that was touching the bud was cloudy and sticky with trichs. The seal bags I use aren't smooth. They have a kind of texture to them so once all those trichs are stuck to it there is no scraping them off. They are gone forever.
I thing 4u's idea of a bag withing a bag might be a real good one.

Reasons:
1. The plasticizer chemicals in the plastic leach out and contaminate your bud, over time.
2. More serious: Plastic allows the smell to get out. Therefore you are constantly losing active ingredient. Not only that but dogs can detect a plastic bag of weed easily. That's how many people get caught smuggling, they think plastic seals in the smell. It doesn't! So there you are with your nice long-term store in plastic bags under the floor boards and if a K9 ever goes near your house ... that tail is going to go up.
Glass or metal. Either will be fine. Prefer glass myself. What's wrong with jamjars? That's what I use.
3. Vacuum seal? Makes no difference to keeping it. What will make a difference is temperature! Keep it COOL - I use a refri - and it will last almost for ever.
