Long term storage of bud

The buds did cure in the fridge, it just took longer, about three months. I harvested the last crop at the end of July and they (thru diligent testing! lol) were very smooth indeed. I was surprised to find the mold growing, but if algae can grow under the polar ice caps, if guess it can in the freezer. The bud, that I cured in the fridge, I dried more thoroughly before putting it in the jars.
 
Wow, interesting!!! Of course, the longer the cure, the better. I think I got confused about drying and curing temperatures from all my reading on GWE. Sorry bout that.
 
alltatup, No apology needed. I always need all of the help and advice that I can get. I too get confused with all of the ideas and information 'floating' about. I go so far as to use 8 oz. jars instead of quart jars, because if a mold or fungi develops, I will only loose a small amount of bud (the 8 oz. jar holds around 8 to 9 grams of loose bud).
Thanks for Your input and have a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year!
 
Hope you're having a fine Christmas starramus. It's so dry here that if I used humidity packs I'd be adding humidity. I've never used 'em, but aren't they supposed to remove humidity, not add it? I never have problems with mold though. "My addicted personality daughter in law helps out with the long term storage problem." Does that mean she smokes all of your old dope? How kind of her. How kind of you.
 
Merry Christmas alltatup. The first time I ever used my vacuum sealer I put a quarter lb. of bud in a bag and sucked it down tight. Not recommended..I couldn't get those buds apart with a jackhammer I think I steamed 'em and finally got them separated. My machine is made by FoodSaver. They have a cheap attachment that vacuum seals Mason jars. It works very well.
 
Ha ha stickyfingers, that's funny!!! I have never even used mine yet, and since I detest plastic I wouldn't use it for storage here at home. But when I was still "obtaining" last year from the outside world, I purchased some really nice strains that were all vacuum sealed--absolutely no odor till I got home and opened them. That's really what I got it for: if I'm ever moving some of my bud to the outside world...
 
Karlee, i was wondering if you knew the answer to my question up there? i feel like it's dumb but since you're the only person i've come across that actually has a c-vault i figured you might be the one to ask. thank you!
 
I bought the big one thinking long term storage after about 6 months in the jars. So the out come is metal nice tight seal 3 locks holding it down keeps the air and light out but I found the freezer with jar was just as good they both come out at 62 % the freezer drys faster for a one hit LOL
