    If they're really dry, they can last like a year in an airtight bag out of the elements. If they're wet, they'll go moldy in a couple weeks. Why do you asK?

    Well, if you just have it in a normal bag then you could proble keep it fresh for a while before it got stale, just keep it in a nice cool place.



    If you are talking about long term storage then put it in an airtight jar, bag, container and store it in a cool place and you could proble keep it for a year if you wanted, but about after a year weed starts losing it's potency.

    If you store in an airtight glass jar in the freezer and never really open the particular freezer, THC degradation is almost non-existant. I've heard of people curing their tree for up to a year or two. I'd love to try some slow-cured (1 year+) to see what it's like.

    Aha, yeah I've heard the same.

    Get yourself a little glass jar and pop a bud in, save it for later. Sounds good.. but a year? Ya never know when you're gonna need that little guy.

    Cesar is absolutely correct,I use vacum sealed containers and have nugs from 2-3 years ago and they are every bit as potent as they were when cured out.

    Nice dude, I've heard the nugs get darker and have a way different taste, do you notice a big difference in those aspects versus the stuff you cure for, say, a month?

    Whispering: This is something more like what cultivators would do to a portion of their harvest as to have some slow-cured buds for connoiseur purposes.

    They get darker,smoke smoother, burn cleaner and what I like to see;nothing but pure white ash when burned.Only obtained from carbon based grows.I always have some left over from a prior harv that gets stored for long durations as the new presents itself.With all my bogart bros its amazing anything lasts that I keep.

    From dried too........

    Shunkberry in the top and bucket and jars have m-39.The skunkberry yields very well,a couple of the tops are over a Z each cured.Long dry process with the density.co2 works wonders in soil..
