STORING WEED

[generic stoner]

i normally get good weed from my dealer (plenty of good size buds)
, but the other day i got a 10's (1.5g) that was a little dry

i dont want it to detiriorate so any help on how to store i is much apreciated

also, in ones experience, does dry, old weed loose potency or does it stay as potent for ever?

[asswipe]

No, weed won't loose its potent. Maybe if you'd box it a couple of years. Buti f it would, wouldn't you be smoking shitty weed in the summer and good weed in autumn/winter. Now I've never experienced any differences whether the weed is old or fresh, it just needs to be dry.
And secondly, why do you want to store dry weed? the dryer the weed the better it just grinds, and (to me) the higher I get. Dried weed = good! smoke it!

Yes dude, Dry weed is what you want. If its too dry then you can put a tiny bit of wet orange peel in the bag, or a tiny cabbage leaf, and it will make the weed a bit moister. Personally though I prefer dryish weed. And im pretty sure most people do.

Dry weed is the shit. You should be happy that it is dry, because if you have wet weed, you've got a problem. You should store it wherever you normally store weed, and no, weed will not become less potent

The best way to store weed is by using glass jars, metal coffee tins, or tupperware. If the buds are too dry for your liking then sprinkle a couple drops of water overthe buds and closes the container. Place it in a cool, dark place. Remove the lid from the container daily and turn the buds, allowing carbon dioxide to escape. And so they don't mold.

But then again , that's storage for more extended periods of time really, I don't think you'll be keeping your 1.5g long enough ,no?

About the potency over time question.

Potency over time will not decrease if you store the weed properly. It maintains it just fine.

Marijuana buds are covered in little microscopic hair thingies called trichomes. (other plants have them too, just with no THC in them)





Long story but to some it up, THC is made in those little trichomes.
Every time you touch the buds of a growing or dried bud you can damage these trichomes and they eventually rub off. So yes, improperly stored and abused buds will loose potency over time. Frezing the buds will also cause the trichome stalks to break off.

The 'real' way to determine if a pot plant is ripe is to look at the trichomes. It takes 50-100x magnification to see them. Then trichomes go from that translucent color in the pics to an amber color when totally ripe.

Also try storing your buds in a filmcase that seems to help and use the above method that Higher mentioned.

weed dont loose potency, in my experiance, dry weed it better at keeping than wet weed aswell, basicaly, its dead but not deteriorating (dno how to spell tha) so it keeps for years, unless moisture gets at it, really, so keep it dry, really, also dry weeds better cos it weighs less, weighing less means u get more for ur money but das ist my opinion, from previous experiances
take care all
