What kind of vacuum bags do you use?

Excellent work Hoypare! Helping provide medicine for the people! Just using jars here. Jars stored in buckets underground. Jars are the best because you can burp them as they need to be. Jars get opened for about 10 minutes every month during storage. Opportunity to inspect for mold, and keeps them from getting stale.

I still have 2015 and 2016 crop jars. Out of 2017, and the 2016 is still good. Tried some of the 2015 the other day and was impressed, it still has good potency and flavor. The secret is airing them out once a month, I think. I used to not do that, and they would get stale. I don't use a hygrometer, but I dry for 2-3 weeks on the stem before jarring.

Nice food grade commercial machine! I should have guessed.

A home kitchen sealer probably wouldn't last more than a day or two for you. I only have a tiny fraction of your haul and I'm worried about my FoodSaver's pump. FoodSaver is great for your kitchen, but their duty cycle is reached quickly when pushed hard.

BTW, I found great vacuum bags at a local commercial kitchen supply company. 1000 bags per box. Woot!

I really hope those plastic bags are different from the ones I used.

But yeah I always go Mylar vacuum bags as they give me the best taste and smell. The plastic ones give me a great smell but horrible taste. The plastic bags I used were from the brand princess.

Mylar is great, but my clients want to see the product. So for clear bags, you have to use commercial food grade bags. They're multilayer, odour and taste neutral.

Cool thanks for the tip.

I think those seeds are manitoba medicine or Nederzaad 2005x 2006.

Yeah I have had some security issues, never saw any boys in blue but I dont'' dare to grow outdoors anymore. I have one final plant this year, a guerilla gold 3 ment for seed production.

I won't grow for another 10 months and then I will have to start indoor :(. I really don't like indoor but I have to cuz some new neighbours dont like the smell of cannabis.

It sucks cuz I was developping outdoor strains :(
