@revegeta666 I'll do whatever you say, these buds are so good. Very comforting therapeutic medicine when done the right way!!!!

Went out and burped the jars. It will be worth the extra effort to preserve the quality. Will go ahead and burp them daily for a couple weeks as the weather allows. Temps and humidity are perfect this part of the week, hovering at highs in the low to mid 70's F and humidity around 50-60%! Even had a breeze.

Going to have to bury them as soon as possible to keep the flowers from freezing and thawing.

 

[pipeline]

It depends on moisture content of course. When I jar them over dry and crunchy, it doesn't matter much to burp them because moisture is mostly gone. When there is 60% or more moisture they are spongy feeling, and they need to be aired out because of the chemical reactions going on inside, to preserve the fresh resin profile of the harvest. Oxygen must be allowed to be used up and then refreshed. Jars need burped of excess gas and moisture. Warm temps make it more important to make sure the jars are burped.

Most of them were alright and didn't burp much because I pack them so tight, there is very little air.

Some of them had a noticible burp. Moisture content has been pretty much spot on it looks like! Only one or 2 were a little damp to the touch, but its all good as long as there is no condensation on the glass inside the jars!

Thanks for the help! Its obviously worth the extra effort. It will get cold and rainy in a few days, and may not be able to burp on one or 2 days.

 

[revegeta666]

If you can't burp them everyday it shouldn't be a big deal, especially if you already left them for a week and they were fine. I do it everyday because I'm so forgetful I'm bound to forget to burp them a day here and there. If you leave them for a few days, when you burp them make sure you stick your nose to smell them. If anything is going wrong, you will smell amonia, dirty/wet clothes smell. It also helps not to pack the jars fully but rather leave like15-20% unoccupied space.

Out of curiosity, do you bury your jars? Is it a stealth thing? If I understand correctly, your stash is not at your house?

Once they have cured for 2-3 months, freezing them actually helps preserve the quality long-term,as long as the jars are hermetically closed. I usually wait 3 months for indicas, then make seal bags which go in the freezer. That way I just have to take a baggie at a time.

This weed is 2 years old but still in the same condition as it was when I froze it

I'm thinking the freezer might work well because the temp is constant. Not sure what would happen if you let the weed freez and defreeze many times.

My friend's dad used to just freeze the fresh flower off the plant and dry it as he needed it! Resin would remain very fresh, it seemed to work well. Freezing and thawing could possibly cause damage over time, especially with high moisture.

I place the jars in 5 gallon buckets with lids and bury them to a couple inches below the lid for security reasons. The law here is if the amount is higher than 30 grams, it is considered distribution, so I leave it all out in the woods except about an ounce to keep at home.

They were out kind of curing on the vine for 2 weeks, so that 2nd week I would imagine curing was beginning, so I should be ahead a little bit. Will go ahead and burp for 2 weeks to be sure, the jar is the final stage of the process. I only have so much bucket space, so I have to pack the jars tight with flowers, but some have some empty headspace in the jar, so I will have a couple jars to compare.

They freeze outdoors in the buckets, so it helps preserve the quality quite well through the winter months!

Thanks for the help!

I did all the jars from last year and this year yesterday, got about 40 ounces to freedom this year! Well with the jars packed tight as they are, may have had 70-80 ounces!

Decent amount of loose larfy lower flower this year because I didn't lollypop prune them. Next year I will probably do that a little bit. Reverend was saying it helps the plant get more sugar food from the leaves they need to grow and develop which is true, but I feel like some pruning is needed especially in shady sites. I want to promote more smoking quality flowers.

The Drying and Cure Process Explained In Depth, Information On Long Term Preservation

Fresh cut grass smell is different than hay smell, one is green and one is decomposing. Fresh cut grass smell is from freshly cut material and will go away shortly, Hay smell after drying is caused by improper drying and is a result of anaerobic fermentation. Drying/curing is an aerobic...

Congrats on the successful harvest pipeline!!

 

[pipeline]

Thanks Hillbilly! I finally got a good harvest. I have learned a lot just in the past year or 2. Experience is the best teacher.

Went out to burp the jars again yesterday evening. Humidity was going up from 60-70% and was about right. All the jars are within the threshold for moisture, but there are a couple SCC jars that were jarred at night, when humidity was going up to near 90%, that were a little on the moist side with leaves stretching when tugged. Stems would snap but not very clean. I pulled about half the jar on those 4 and let them air out for a little while, and it seemed to help. I will go back out and burp the jars today and inspect them.

Today humidity will be good around 50-60% with warm temps around 70F so will have opportunity to dry down again. Tomorrow rain is going to start to show up with higher humidity so will try to get the moisture dialed in today. By Sunday weather pattern shifts to more winter pattern and we will have to wait if needing to dry them.

A friend of mine who has experience testing different strains came by and tried some Sativa Candy Chunk. He said it is great and more energetic effect. He said it tastes like Cinderella 99.

Cool! C99 is a good one. Do you know where the sativa part of your cross comes from?

 

[pipeline]

I think its the Bubblegum and Sour Bubble for the most part giving the fruity sativa side. Also the males used had Jamaican. It was (OG Kush x Jamaican Jam) x Deep Chunk). Jamaican Jam is Jamaican x Afghan. Its a Hill Temple Collective strain, but he's not making seed anymore.

So thankful this keeper stuck around. There are actually a few different variations of keeper phenos in the line! Some that I really like have some more indica influence, but most of them are not overly sleepy, couchlock at least when I have them harvested.

Ezekiel 7 NKJV​

​

Judgment on Israel Is Near​

7 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:

‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
4 My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’

5 “Thus says the Lord God:

‘A disaster, a singular disaster;
Behold, it has come!
6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!
7 Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
8 Now upon you I will soon pour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.

9 ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will [a]repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.

10 ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of [b]them;
Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time has come,
The day draws near.

‘Let not the buyer rejoice,
Nor the seller mourn,
For wrath is on their whole multitude.
13 For the seller shall not return to what has been sold,
Though he may still be alive;
For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
And it shall not turn back;
No one will strengthen himself
Who lives in iniquity.

14 ‘They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready,
But no one goes to battle;
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
15 The sword is outside,
And the pestilence and famine within.
Whoever is in the field
Will die by the sword;
And whoever is in the city,
Famine and pestilence will devour him.

16 ‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
17 Every hand will be feeble,
And every knee will be as weak as water.
18 They will also be girded with sackcloth;
Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.

19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets,
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.

20 ‘As for the beauty of his ornaments,
He set it in majesty;
But they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
21 I will give it as plunder
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
22 I will turn My face from them,
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 [c]Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Disaster will come upon disaster,
And rumor will be upon rumor.
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
But the law will perish from the priest,
And counsel from the elders.

27 ‘The king will mourn,
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord!’ ”

My experienced friend recommended to get Boveda packs, so ordered some packs for the jars. I may try them in the old jars to see if re-hydrating will help freshen them up, they say it will! The flower is a year old now, but it still has potency. It wasn't cured correctly to begin with though, but has always had some moisture probably around 50-55%

Got a mini toker 8 oz stainless stash jar with Boveda packs too! Say goodbye to plastic, and say hello to good meds!

 

[pipeline]

Is it recommended to leave headspace in the jar when using Boveda? Is it alright if flowers are somewhat tightly packed in the jars, or should the flowers be more loose with air pockets?

I think it's always better to have a little space. Full maybe ok but not tight

 

[pipeline]

Thats the way I understood it. I will ask them whem Boveda returns on Monday. Yeah makes sense to allow for some air exchange within the storage container. I usually pack the top the most just by trying to fill the jar all the way, so when I put the Bovida in, I will pull out the flower at the top, if necessary, so its at least loose.

Have a 4th 5 gallon bucket that's basically empty except 3 jars, so should have packed jars more loosely. I try to just settle the air pockets, so if I give some headspace and loosen the top, the Boveda packs should be able to do their work more effectively.

Thought about using them on last year's jars to rehydrate but the terpenes may be mostly lost. Any experience with that?

I have never tried this. It's very humid where I live, so I've never had the problem of having buds that are too dry. I have read a few times some people saying that using 2 way humidity packs impacts the terpene content, but I haven't checked this myself. I have been using them every harvest for 6-7 years now, and I'm always happy with the smell and taste of my weed, if the plant was good. In any case I do need them, before I started using them I was always paranoid checking the jars for bad smells developping.

If the buds are from last year and are too dry, I would think they probably have lost a significant part of the terpenes anyway no? Do they still smell strong?

 

[pipeline]

Last year's flower has some smell but it has faded. It was never right to begin with. Some were jarred after 2 weeks outdoors in low humidity, but most were jarred the next day in the morning when humidity was higher and the terpenes were saved. They were too dry initially, but have regained moisture and are on the dry side of normal now. I think they regained moisture from seeds and internal flower moisture as well as humidity when burping.

I am curious if Bovida would improve them. They talk about it on the website FAQ but it only talks about overdry flower from the bottom of the container being rehydrated. Would be similar to burping in high humidity but for an extended period.

Making bubblehash with the old crop flowers. The 2022 crop has pretty much expired by now. Moved some flowers from the high moisture 2023 SCC jars to a single jar to allow some head space and more air exchange. They all smell good and no condensation.

Going to have to try to save seed while doing bubble hash. Didn't do a good job being a smoke tester, terpenes are gone now. Got through a few jars. Need to make time to smoke with friends to test through and separate phenos.

Wondering how the Boveda packs and proper cure will end up being a year from now. I bet they would still be good. My friend said its good to vacuum seal, and I saw thats what you do. I was thinking about vaccuum sealing the jars. Need to look into it. Want to save this stuff, it is spot-on good therapy!
