Default Bud Storage to freeze or not to freeze, that is the question
Ok, so harvest is still a few weeks away but already I am thinking/worrying about how best to store my bud. Based on how things look right now, I expect to have around six months work of dry bud to store (one modest smoker). What is the best way to do it? I have read differing opinions re freezing bud. Some say it is the best way, others say that it breaks the trichomes and causes degeneration of all the good stuff........so what do you think? How long will well dried bud keep without loosing its potency?

I thought you just keep it in the fridge.
Another thing to do is keep your bud in many small jars in a dark cool place. This is also know as curing. Just open them once in a few months to check for mold. The longer you keep your bud in these jars the better the smoke will be.

Just get some air tight canning jars to put your bud in. If you were going to put it in the freezer i would invest in some vac-seal bags, and then place the vac-seal bags in the jars, and then in freezer. Thats just my opinion.

I've heard freezing can deteriorate thc. The best is probably airtight canning jars or some kind of vaccuum seled container, and then in a dark cool place. I know of buds stored ten years that way and they were perfect.

The only thing you have to worry about storing bud in the freezer is the trics breaking off if you handle it a lot. Tale what you need and put it in a jar or something, that way you are not going into the freezer and moving you stash around alot.
