Have a look on ebay for tightvac vacuum jars. There about £6.50 but they work mate.

Cheers for the heads up UL! I'll have a nose there :)

Canning jars are best

I use small Mason jars (take about 7g each) kept inside a larger airtight tupperware container. I also have a few humidipaks in the larger container, works well for presevation and stealth.

Plus a use an air purifier (with active carbon filter) in my herbiest room. Can get away with vaping next to it and the smell's gone within about 20 minutes. It's a relatively expensive investment, but it'll save you on air fresheners and incense in the long run!

Amazon sell smell proof boxes for cannabis just type it in,,,,,,,

Hey Gravity

Sorry I'm late to the party! I used to have the same problem with Flatmates etc. What I ended up doing was just buying a vacuum sealer and would bag and seal my main stash and keep a nights worth in a smell proof Jar from Amazon ( probably holds 3gs and was like $6). From there everyday I would just open and reseal the main stash and top up my little sealed Jar. Cling film is the worst thing you can do really, hence your feeling like its taking away from the weed. Otherwise if you want big Jars and Stuff go to DIY stores as they will certainly have something reasonably priced.

Other advantages of vacuum sealing is that it also makes portability of weed good, without that smell! Meaning if you fancy taking some on your next domestic holiday they you can without the worry of making your bag smell like a farm.

1 high quality thick mylar bag normally sorts the smell for me, then I just light a candle to get rid of the smell in the room, it works really well

I recommend RYOT brand stuff, they use activated charcoal if im right, cant remember lol but personally no smell. I store my weed in there also my vape when im going to work or out.

Cheers for the tip bud I'll give them a look.

I have a thick ceramic jar which has an airtight lid. I tend to keep it in my bedroom alternating it between the little drawers next to my bed and my wardrobe depending whos around. I rarely smell anything, and i have noticed that the ceramic over time adds to the flavour of the bud if you can leave it to chill for a while.

Obviously you should dry it out to the point where it crumbles in your fingers (i guess that depends on the bud but i wouldnt keep lower quality bud or those that are dripping with spray anyway) or at least as close to it as is possible and if your looking for long term smoke storage (eg if you buy in bulk) then like others have said you may want to add something to it to keep everything fresh. Personally i smoke too much and have never got to the point Ive needed that xD

Going on a little tangent here but I also have a little foil bags which I use for traveling. They are just like sandwich bags but are made of foil, you can pick them up on amazon or ebay and arent too expensive. There are 2 variations - a one time use which essentially sticks closed with glue and is unusable after opening or standard sandwich bag push seals for multiple uses. The glue works better at smell prevention but then in a domestic situation transferring from bag to bag would get annoying. So if you went with this way, depending on the strength of what your carrying you may want to double or triple bag. I mention this even though you didnt ask about travelling because its a quick, easy and low cost if a little temporary solution to your problem while you find something that works better for you long term. I first used this method when I used to go and stay with my girlfriend (her parents are police) and I would put the foil bags in her jewelery box and never got caught, even when her mum used to come and use her vanity mirror lol

In a jar with a couple slices of apple. Golden delicious provides
A lil smell and taste to the bud also : )

Do not, recipe for mold

I was thinking that alright Smee but didn't want to be rude haha

Yeah I can be blunt lol

...but it’s a fact rather than an opinion

any airtight container stored in a cool dark place will suffice but glass I think is best

It needs to be properly dry first, not bone dry...like 15%? moisture to prevent mould, that and temperature...don't quote that percentage

Sometimes blunt is best my man! Yeah I've been using a masonry jar for the past 8 years and sleays found it to be the best way to store my bud but I judt got lazy and rarely replace anything. You should see my poor grinder haha. I will be purchasing a new box, grinder, jars and stocking up on papers so I'll probably be skint again by this time next week lol. Cheers for the reply Smee!

I’ve had my blitz n mix grinder for I don’t know how long...just clean it with alcohol or acetone brings it up like new

Do not do this on plastic grinders!

15% oh hell no. You want a tiny hygrometer for whatever container you are using and it should read between 52% and 65%rh ideally 58-62%. above that and mold is an issue below that you lose terps. you want to keep buds dank a mason jar hygrometer and boveda humidity packs are the ONLY way to go. if you can crumble bud in your fingers it's too dry and you've already lost terps. bud should be at the very least slightly sticky I mean we all know it's the oils that get you high

Nah weed gets cured and it should harden the resin glands, “cure” it...it’s what cure means

You’re smoking uncured weed

ok smoke your fucking boof weed lmao don't tell me what it is. you said 15% go cure it and that and smoke dead ass bud

What are you even going on about ?


If weed is cured right it will not lose flavour or potency at a significant degree...stop drying your weed on the radiators


Moving air is what’s needed to dry cannabis without seriously impacting the final product

Drying and curing is important

That’s the problem

Weed these days is dried and sold...some times power dried which will mess with flavour, drying and curing is a process that takes time, it can not be rushed without consequences

I use a mason jar and humidity packs I grow regularly and after 6 MONTHS bud is still sticky so wtf are you on about? if you are not curing at the right humidity you are losing terps and smoking dried out weed that's not an opinion as you said earlier it's a fact

and I wasn’t saying you’re drying yours on the radiator, it was a statement to anyone who wants to rush the drying process to get a smoke

and I would agree

It’s an art in itself

but just because you grow every so often doesn’t make you a scientific expert now does it

Ive seen the guys from greenhouse in Holland say they do it for a few months

“the curing process could take anywhere from three or four weeks to three or four months”

Maybe you have too much humidity going on, hindering your process

search google I do it the exact way everybody does it. like I said more humidity increases risk of mold as long as there is no mold too much humidity won't make any difference to the bud. longer cure is always better 12 months is actually ideal but who has that time? You took issue with me saying bud should be sticky but every bud i bought when I was in Cali was dank and had some stickiness. are you gonna tell cali growers they aren't curing properly? but people pay $100 an 8th for it on here? grab an Ed Rosenthal or Jorge Cervantes book and educate yourself

I agree for the most part if not all

I’m disputing the mold

This started when you said no to my 15% comment which I’m pretty sure you read wrong and went on to what you want to say rather than respond

I’m not disputing your % in humidity and mold formation, me talking about the 15% was anything with more than 15% moisture level by weight combined with the humidity created when stored is a recipe for mold ?

We actually agree but I feel you just want to be right rather than discuss as I could learn something maybe

So the resin topic... I have noticed gooey trichomes before and wondered what this is about and I haven’t looked into

but by definition I thought cured resin would mean hardened

Have bone dry here and when you leave it out it goes spongy in a few hours...

Getting mad humidity levels, damp AF

Also stick a humidipak in there to stop drying and mould.

I use preserve jars from hobbycraft, work pretty well for me. You can also get specialist stash jars on amazon etc but these are pretty overpriced imo.

Yeah I was having a nose online and saw a few nice ones but they seemed a little overpriced. Think I found what I'm looking for on Amazon though for a decent price and size. Reviews seem legit and the vendor has a double deal with a bong / dab rig so I think I'll just bite the bullet and order lol. Cheers for the reply mate!

I wrap in cling film ... lots of it. The key is to wash your hands before you touch the cling film, if you have crystals on your hands they will transfer to the cling and make it smell.

I've used clingfilm in the past but felt like it was killing the taste of the weed? Could just be in my head but that's why I stopped lol. I'll probably have to start doing it again though for the time being. Cheers for the reply and handy tip about the crystals.

I think you need to buy some new jars mate. Airtight jars shouldn't give off any smell.

If your weed is getting dry in your jar get a humidifying stone to stick in there (or a smaller jar!) you can also use foil inside your containers to keep your weed fresh and to line any jars that might not be doing the job well enough.... (in your situation you should line your plastic with it, don't let your weed sit on/in plastic! also plastic baggies do nothing at all, air passes right through them).

You can get good jars online for a couple of quid off the online headshops though - just read the reviews first :)

Keep the jars away from light and heat too obviously, I have a nice little wooden box with my jars inside. Good luck mate!

Hey Z, cheers for the reply. Haha yeah I know, the two jars I've got have given me years of service and down to my laziness I just never replaced them lol. I do prefer keeping my green in the masonry jars though as it usually keeps the green fresh, main problem is smell.

I have never used those stones that keep the moisture but have heard they are good so might give them a try. Time to make a trip to Homestore and buy some new jars I'd say lol. Thanks for the reply mate and hope you're well.

Try not use big jars for small amounts of bud thats what causes it to dry out quicker

Yeah I made that mistake in my earlier days. Threw like 9gs into a litre sized jar and 3 days later my by bud basically turned to dust in my hands lol. Cheers though Rasta, appreciate the tip

Its been happening to me lately and it took a while to realize the more space in the jar means more air getting to it, I just hate dry tasteless bud lol.

Yeah all good thank you mate I'm properly feeling the boredom today though, dunno why I never do anything special on Fridays anyway but still somehow doesn't feel right. Weird times.

Anyway hope the new jars sort out your issue bud, they should do the trick. It is a smelly hobby we have to be fair to your housemates lol

I know the feeling mate, ran out of green yesterday and blasted through one of MJs carts in a few hours because of over-use lol. I bought a motorbike a few months back and have been looking forward to the good weather and a fog in the wilderness but there's currently 90km/h winds down by me and no weed. Hoping the postman makes a drop on Monday though lol.

Ah you gotta go along to get along bud and it's easier to keep the peace. The jars shall be bought in the morrow! Enjoy your weekend mate.

Thanks all for the recommendations as I learn to better store...I lost a significant quantity and never again !
Might be a dummy question but what about the freezer?
I had different experiences and for one it allowed to keep the hit, taste and smell diring around 4 years..:)
Any advice ?
Cheers

not recommended cold makes trichomes brittle and they will fall of the buds at slightest contact. we use ice water to make bubble hash for that very reason

Thanks for crystal clear answer.
Cheers

I’d call martial law...ya’ll getting outta hand lol

He will, a war on his own people. If he doesn't go full dictator, call marshal law and force himself into another term I'd be shocked.

Just keep the fingers crossed that the greater good will go full Libya on him.

50 usd sound good?

You, sir/madame are on.

I want odds doc

By next are we saying this year? If he gets in again I wouldn’t rule it out!

A lot should do direct from manufacturer or host the shop themselves. By a country mile imho, DNA genetics for quality and eccentricity of genetics. Dutch passion for variety and overall quality and service. DNA genetics have(had) some wonderful G13 crosses and hazes, as well as stunning eccentric indicas like LA confidential. Pic is a DNA genetics MMG from yesteryear. Was an exhilarating sativa from the g13 haze masterful parentage, but lovely warmth from the Jamaican lambs bread. 60/40. Cool AF.

My favourite seedbank has always been Dutch Passion. Big selection of quality strains, high germination rates and good stealth :)

I think that is a very good idea. My son used to that for his friend, who couldn't get plants started.

Grizzly seeds are fantastic good range and always a free one even if you only buy 1, amazing service too

I always buy from RoyalQueenSeeds, but I'm guessing any reputable seed store would be as good.

do they take btc? why isnt there a bigga w seeds? i like the escrow protection and anonymity for this kind of thing. somebody knows you have seeds and you are intresting you know

To be honest most breeders will encourage you to pay by BTC. Seedsman offer discounts and free beans and Zamnesia do discounts I think

Yes, RQS has bitcoin as a paying option! And superb stealth. Growing for seeds (especialy feminised) is something the seed banks are best at, so i guess the sellers here mostly buy the seeds from seedbanks too.

Guardian of the lost terps, Congo seed project,

Its pretty easy to make yourself if you're a diy kinda guy. Tek 2 works a treat https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Q21Q21's_Vinegar/Lime_A/B_Extraction_Tek#Tek_2:_The_Fluffy_White_Funfest

Would love to try DMT as Ive read a lot about it and it sounds insane, but I'm definitely not brave enough lol. I've tried hallucinogens just once and that was plenty for me. If you get your hands on some please let us know how you get on =D

Ive already had some this year, just trying to find more now.. its incredible dude you have to try it!

Theres some changa on here which is DMT right?? Not done it personally, the smell of my mates smoking it puts me off but they seem to enjoy themselves lol ;)

It's not that difficult to make if you can find precursor

There is plenty of freebase and carts available in the UK mate

Please point me in the right direction then dude

Rainbow kat could be worth sending a message

Thats who I bought freebase from originally, only sells changa now

Doesn’t even, hasn’t been on in 21 days and counting

Explains why I didn’t get a reply to my message lol, hope he's all good though

Said he be back like about two weeks ago and hasn’t so god only knows

after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/

in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing

For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.

I got seriously hooked on codeine and tramadol since I cracked a rib years ago. I’ve been taking weed for a year now and to me it really helps and I don’t have the fear of overdosing (I used to cold water extract which is very dangerous). Good luck.

Smoke a bowl of salvia divinorum, it has amazing anti-addiction properties. research it.

Lol

One way ticket to trippin balls. I had some pretty amazing ones

I will be looking into that too, would be nice to find something that can help with the addiction, cheers 8)

Theres nothing better than chrism and psilocybin for repairing the mind.

Nice one worth a looking into 8)

Hey captain, I don’t know if I help or not but let me tell ya my story. It’s a little bit like forest gump! Honestly it does but I swear down hand on heart it’s the Gods honest truth, I won’t go fully into it but il just put the bits in that I can relate too.
Just a little background tho to start: I’ve always liked weight training since my uncle got me into it so have always worked out at the gym, I was 22 and half stone 6ft 2” so I was a big guy to say the least! At the beginning of May 2013 I had been training hard during the week and come down with a chest infection, I’m asthmatic too so as any asthmatic will tell you, if you get a chest infection it’s multiplied 10 fold in severity! I had it for 3weeks and I had a mad violent coughing fit that I couldn’t stop and it blew all of my lower back out, 3 discs where, trapped along with nerves, I was bedridden for 9 months and had to have 2 surgeries to try and fix it. It sort of helped but then in 2016, my lower back just naturally blew out again, so had to have a more severe surgery to fix it. It hasn’t fixed it cus I’ve been left with chronic back pain to deal with. The thing is since 2013 I have been on prescription meds which includes loads of opioids, zomorph 10, 30, 60mg, 500ml oramorph, diazepam. I have all those plus another 8-9 different nerve agents, MS treatment, antidepressants etc I’m taking like 8-12 tablets with 20ml or oramorph 3 times a day day every day so now my body has unwittingly become totally dependent upon all of my medications, if I miss out 1 treatment slot with my meds, I get severe withdrawals! And I do mean SEVRE!!! Like get the shakes and shivers, hot/ cold sweats, feeling extremely nauseous plus a whole host of other issues that make your body feel unbelievable I’ll!!!
I been toking on our lovely green erb for over 25 years, mostly recreational but for the past 7 months I have under my doctor’s advice been using it medically. Last year was one of the toughest years of my life, having to deal with multiple family deaths, work issues, financial issues, stress of trying to get our second property sold, health issues deteriorated badly, like real bad, my marriage and relationship with my wifey was falling apart and with my chronic back pain issues I could only work in the office for 3 days and work at home for 2 cus my body was breaking down bit by bit as the year went on. By the end of the year and the first 3-4 months of this year my back was causing so much pain that it was sending me deeper and deeper into severe depression. I was then made redundant in January and with all the crap going on I was going into deeper darker thoughts to the point where I felt suicidal.........,:
Yep! Things were that bad that I couldn’t cope and I wanted it to all end 8( it takes a fukin lot and I do mean a lot to get me wound up, but with all the stress and issues going on with my health, marriage etc I almost broke and cracked open! My thoughts were so so dark I had thought about ways to do it, you probably don’t wanna know all this shit but I’m going somewhere.
I visited a few websites for both the bad way to go and also the way to get support. Thing is during all this time of really bad negative thoughts and thinking bad things got changed.
What do I mean by that? Well it was while I was searching-the web for good and bad things I came across many instances whereby several people had gone through similar symptoms as I and issues.
To try help treat their conditions they where put onto medical cannabis by their doctors. This has drastically changed the now patients for the betterment. Those suffering with chronic pain and depression where helped significantly.
To the point whereby one patient who was in a similar medical and mental situation as me, was prescribed cannabis as a form of treatment. This helped them significantly to the point they could go about and return to a normal way of living.
But for me, I went to my doctor and they gave advice on using cannabis but they said that they couldn’t prescribe the medical cannabis, even though the laws where changed last November or the November before so that doctors could start prescribing weed. My doc gave me advice that I already knew so was let down again by them. So I find a few different sites that sold weed (I can’t get a prescription as yet, as from my research I need to get a referral by the docs and then you go off to a specialist center for treatment). I have been looking at it but it’s a very VERY expensive way to do it, like £2-3500 a month! I can’t afford that so finding LB has been life saving for me.
I now buy my weed on here, yep it’s still the non legal way to do it but I can’t go through that pain of my back blowing out.again. I been using cannabis as a treatment by having 5-6 2gram joints (I toke it pure in a joint, no tobacco) a day, this helps to combat all the negativity in my mind and body, sounds corny but it’s true! Toking certain strains recently has really helped me deal with my chronic back pain and mental issues, I have been able to reduce down some of my opioid medications. I have a long long way to go but I have started now and I’m able to do a hell of a lot more than I could do post surgery. I’m saying that having weed is helping me lower my pain levels and medications too. The other positive is finding the LB community, they have helped out without even knowing it, just being there for support and whatever. If you are struggling with ‘getting off’ then just lower your opioid levels bit by bit day by day whilst steadily increasing your consumption of the cannabis. I have found this to be the best way to lower my opioid dosages whilst staying in control of the pain levels. I will be doing this for a while, as the doctor said you need to go low and slow on your reduction of the opioids this way you can get your levels down and eventually you will be able to stop needing them. This will take a few years I know as I’ve tried before to lower my dosages and it takes ages, but persevere at it and you can do it. You just have to take it day by day and have a good support system, family or friends. Just know you’re not the only one thats suffering and you didn’t need to suffer alone either, the community on here can help you too.
I hope that this helps and not make you think I’m a crack pot!!!
All the best 8)

You seem like a tough motherfucker. I hope it all works out well for you man.

It has been tough Budlover and it still is, I feel it’s through these life experiences that help us to grow, sometimes you aren’t aware of it but people soon tell you.
Haha! How ironic! I’m just writing this and my reminder has just popped up telling me to take my evening dose! You couldn’t script it!!
Thanks man it’s appreciated 8)

Fair play to you mate respect for sharing your story

Cheers mate it’s nice to be able to try and help where I can, with what I’ve been through if my experiences can help in protecting someone else from bad things then I’m all in. I hope my experiences are able to help out 8)

Pot yes, crack no :) You are a really positive bigga thank you very much snag.

Thank you captain, I try my best to stay positive cus I know the dark side literally! That dark place isn’t nice and is quite scary in all honesty. It’s a very long road ahead for me that will 99.99% be for the rest of my life as per the consultants opinions. Finding LB has helped in ways that most would not understand 8)

I don't know if this is relevant to you man but I was addicted to dihydrocodeine and pregablin. I was up to 30 dihydrocodeine twice a day and 7-8 pregablin. This all started after I was knocked off my bike and had to give up my job as a zookeeper. I started smoking weed again in 2016 as I was at my wits end and had considered suicide as my life was nothing more than waking up looking to get my fix of pills,slowly I have was able to taper of the opiates and start getting some life back. I am now clean of opiates and I think I owe a great deal to cannabis. Hopefully you have family and friends who can support you mate. PM me man if you need any help or just need to talk.

Personally I think if you’re telling a life experience like what we have gone through, it is really good insight into things like that that can change your whole life around in an instant. I’m glad you are free of them mate it’s hard work! 8)

Im still looking for those cuttings!

You still need cuts ?

yeah still need them. what can you get your hands on?

Sour power 15 quid a cut tho apparently 2 g a watt I’d be happy with 1 a watt lol

Always interested in some SSH!
