Nothing new here, i"m just doing what many others have done in the past but i know the question of what's the best way to stor buds long term has come up from time to time. First I put my buds in qt jars to cure them as usual. After a month or so of opening every day two or three times,, it's time to either smoke it or store it.
this last grow produced 10 jars of buds losely packed. so I must do something with all that weed, so I take 2 qt jars and compress it down to 1 pint jar.
Even with that i find there is still room at the top of the pint jar for another QT or so. I made a tool to pack the jar with,, out of a 1x1 piece of wood and a round plastic disk just the right size to fit in the jar. Once I squeeze as much air out of the jar as i can,, i put it in the freezer. It can remain there for years without losing any potency or not so you would notice.
I'm still vaping stuff i grew in 2012 and its as good as the day I put it in the freezer. Just remember to let the buds defrost before attempting to remove some of the buds.
even after defrosting it may require tweezers to get the buds out.
Here's a few pics
