I will do it this year definitely. How long does every think the taste and bud last in a jar?

I have some two years old the still taste wonderful and still sticky too. I’m not sure how long but at least that long. Perhaps it would last longer in the freezer I’m not sure but I don’t like the way things look in my freezer after two years. I think packaging before you put it in there is most important.
I think I have heard people using the vacu lock bags?

There are attachments for ‘seal-a-meal’ type systems so you can vacuum seal mason jars. I seal my mason jars with a Boveda 62 pack or two in the jar. I have bud that is 5 or so years old. The THC must degrade somewhat over time since the older bud I smoke on occasion has a really mellow buzz and is an awesome anti-inflammatory smoke. I am a one hit wonder though so your results may vary.
I do have one of those vacuum sealers. Maybe I should bag some excess up. Those jars do take a lot of room after a few grows

My old friend does that. He'll seal a meal a bunch, stuff 'em in a ziplock (triple), and freeze 'em. Not sure it works better, but the extra bagging stops the freezer burn.
The stuff will keep well in just jars as long as it's kept cool and in the dark. I'm like OldFogey. I'm a one hit (maybe two) wonder, so if I want to keep it fresh, I only keep a small amount out to use.

But remember remove any real big stems (they will poke through the plastic if vacced to hard. I was taught to vac the bag down to the bud without the extra squish. And double Bag for safety , sometimes they gets through

seal a meal here , heavy duty freezer bags , double sealed
3 years in the freezer/fridge and the flowers are still fresh
i dont seal glass jars just because they take up more room but i love the idea , it is near perfect using glass

How long does it last in a jar with just a regular seal? None of mine is dried out yet. some 2 years old now

that is pretty good
do you keep the jars in the fridge?
we have our cabinet stocked with a variety of pint and quart jars and restock them from the freezer when they get low
No they are in boxes in a closet. Never thought about it going bad. GG from 2 years still sticky and has nice smells in all the different jars. Maybe I should be doing the vacuum bag and freeze thing?
I remember seeing your cabinet filled with different strains and dreamed of one day having my own little pharmacy back when I first joined the passion. I actually have one now wow, with an actual selection of decent weed too some even better in the special stash area. Thanks for inspiring me big. You’re the best.

The way you and hubby smoke, it doesn't get a chance to get stale.

I have cannabutter that old(actually I melt all my butter together so the block I have has a range). Bud that is 5 or so year old now. I made butter out of all my older stuff a while back.
Gonna move the outdoor plants on the porch to finish the sexing process. I think the days are long enough now and warm enough to move them getting them use to being outside giving me more room for my tent plants which are ready for transplant
I know I have two snow leopard females and two Durban poison x triangle kush. All the others are looking potentially female but I’m gonna wait to determine. They seem to like it in the filtered sunlight on my porch under the eve.
