So I never thought I’d say this but I have too much weed lol. We do have a vacuum sealer, and the bud has been curing long enough. Anybody got tips? ---

I use a vacuum sealer for my cured buds. I DON’T let it pull a full vacuum, I use the “Pulse” function and just pull enough to collapse the bag nicely without smashing the buds. I store the vacuum sealed buds in the freezer. ---

I recommend using grove bags or jars with a humidity pack. Let it store a cpl yrs. Test it from time to time to see how it mellows. ---

Id recommend heat sealing some Grove bags. Love these bags and they are meant to be heat sealed and have a long tab up top to reuse even after heat sealing ---

I have a local friend who stores his buds exactly the same way. ---

Vacuum sealers if done improperly will ruin your flower for anything but edibles. It will turn it into a solid lump that is hard to deal with. Mason Jars with a Boveda pack work well and can store flower in the freezer for years (in a NON frost-free freezer). The only problem I have with Grove bags is it doesn’t prevent knocking trichomes off of the frozen flower in handling in the freezer. Jars do a fine job of preventing that. ---
