    The question being posed is about the duration for which items are left in a jar, and it's mentioned that both items are being used.

      The speaker noted that using both a vacuum and an oxygen absorber simultaneously on the same container is somewhat redundant, as both aim to eliminate oxygen. They acknowledged that they have learned over time, and now store their cannabis in vacuum-sealed mason jars with humidity packs in a dedicated mini refrigerator. They currently possess a variety of 15 different Sativa/Sativa Hybrid strains. Upon acquiring new cannabis, they prepare it (store it in a mason jar, add a humidity pack, vacuum seal it) and then keep it at the back of their refrigerator until it becomes the eldest of its strain. They recently added the vacuum step to their process a month ago, and noted that their cannabis from January 23rd, even without vacuum sealing, still retains its original aroma, flavor, and effects.

        I keep glass containers in a chilled cupboard.

          The idea of using both a vacuum and an O2 absorber simultaneously in the same jar is considered unnecessary, as both serve the purpose of depleting oxygen. This understanding has been gained over time.

          Presently, my method involves the use of vacuum-sealed mason jars, complete with humidity packs, for storing my cannabis in a dedicated mini refrigerator. I have a variety of 15 different types of Sativa and Sativa Hybrid strains in varying quantities. Upon acquiring new produce, I process it (putting it in a Mason jar, adding a humidity pack, and vacuuming) and store it at the back of my fridge until it becomes my oldest stock of that strain. I started using a vacuum only recently, a month ago. Despite not having used a vacuum before, my older strains from January 23rd still retain their original scent, flavor, and effect.

              In terms of what? I haven't perceived any significant distinction between plastic and glass. Even if a minuscule amount of substance may seep from the plastic into the herb, I can't imagine how smoking that minor trace could have any significant impact in a single lifetime - and even if it did, it's already too late.

                UV-protected glass containers or three-gallon black plastic buckets with Gamma seal lids are recommended. These items were purchased at a discounted price during a sale on the Infinity Jars website.

                  In what way are we comparing plastic and glass? I've never discerned any variation. Even if some molecules from the plastic seep into the cannabis, I don't see how it's possible for me to inhale enough of them in a single lifetime to make a difference. But even if I could, it's already too late.

                    If you were to use an electric vacuum sealer on a jar of cannabis, would it dehydrate the cannabis? I also utilize humidity packs that maintain a 62% relative humidity.

                    Could using an oxygen absorption pack be more effective than vacuum sealing? It seems redundant to use both vacuum sealing and an oxygen absorption pack on the same jar because they both eliminate oxygen. However, the humidity pack would still ensure the cannabis remains suitably moist. The effect of using an oxygen absorber is similar to purging the jar with nitrogen.

                    I have experience using both vacuum sealing and oxygen absorbers for extended storage periods, like over a year, and both methods appear to be beneficial, based on the color of the cannabis and the color of the trichomes. For very long term storage, I extract the oil and freeze it.

                    For short-term storage of a few months or less, I don't see the need for either vacuum sealing or oxygen absorbers.

                      The statement explains a shift from using mason jars to grove bags in 1 lb and 1/4 lb sizes for storage of cannabis. These bags are appreciated because they maintain a humidity level of 52% for up to eight months. The speaker highly recommends these bags and suggests that, provided the cannabis is dried correctly, it can simply be sealed in the bag and kept in a cool, dark location. After a two-month period, the seal can be opened to a fresh batch of cannabis. The message was originally sent from a mobile app on the speaker's smartphone.

                        If you employed an electric vacuum sealer on a jar containing cannabis, would it extract the moisture from the cannabis? I currently use humidity packs with a relative humidity of 62%.

                        Could an oxygen absorber be a superior alternative to vacuum sealing?

                          For me, it's glass.

                            The query is about the effectiveness of using a Mason jar vacuum sealer on a container of cannabis. Would it have the ability to extract the moisture from the cannabis? The current method involves the use of 62% RH humidity packs.

                            There's also a suggestion about possibly using an oxygen absorption pack as a better alternative to vacuum packing. The belief is that the vacuum sealer doesn't remove moisture, but only air. The question is raised whether an oxygen pack could maintain the freshness of the cannabis.

                              Each half-gallon Ball jar should be equipped with a 60-gram pack of 62% Boveda.

                                The text asks about the duration required to keep items in a container, while also mentioning the use of two things.

                                  Consider using UV glass containers or three-gallon black plastic buckets equipped with twistable Gamma lids.

                                    I've purchased eight glass jars of one-gallon capacity for the things I collect, along with four half-gallon jars for any remnants after vaping. In addition, I own a compact plastic vacuum-sealed container for storing my ground-up supplies, which typically last me around two to three days.
