- Material Options for Storing Cannabis
Professor DeBacco
Keep the Environment Conditions Optimal
Regardless of the material selected, the environmental conditions are important to monitor to help maximize the storing cannabis while also maintaining high quality.
Different Material Options
Cannabis can be properly stored in a number of different materials.
Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages that a grower must recognize to determine the best fit for their situation.
Storing Cannabis in Glass
These are typically easy to acquire and commonly used for display and storage.
Mason jars are an industry standard, but there are other options that can be larger or smaller.
Storing Cannabis in Glass
Advantages
Inert
Hard
Non-biodegradable
Disadvantages
Most are clear, which would require dark environmental storage
Different colors, but can also present similar challenges as clear
Storing Cannabis in Violet Glass
Violet glass blocks visible light with the exception of the color violet
Semi-permeable (depends on specific glass type and thickness) to UV-A, an infrared light, allowing about 40-60% to penetrate
Storing Cannabis in Violet Glass
Advantages
Limits light penetration
Can help protect bud quality over clear materials
Disadvantages
Wave lengths filtered may be low exposure to buds
Can be difficult to acquire
Storing Cannabis in Stainless Steel
Many cooking safe containers can easily be used for storing buds
These containers offer a great storage conditions
This material is less likely to become damaged compared to glass
Storing Cannabis in Stainless Steel
Advantages
Inert material
Seals bud environment from the outside
Block light
Disadvantages
Can be heavy
Limited sizes/shapes
Storing Cannabis in Plastic
Cannabis can degrade in plastic containers
Often can allow for easy stacking
Plastic materials can have a great degree of variability…
Plastic bags
Plastic buckets
Storing Cannabis in Plastic
Advantages
Easy to acquire (bags and buckets)
Not likely to become damaged
Disadvantages
Can lead to degradation of the buds

We really need to push this page as much as possible and share it with others. It's a great informative and easy-to-follow resource, plus the maker does a terrific job of compiling and presenting the information.
I'm passing this channel along to every grower I know!
Thank you (and others) very much for this! Building the community around this channel is a goal but this is only possible from people like yourself and it is truly appreciated.
Thank you for all your videos. I really appreciate all your information. God Bless you DeBacco!
Great to know you enjoy the content, be sure to share the channel with others!
These videos are fantastic. No nonsense, great, clear, educational information.
!'ve used Ball storage jars for many years, I do change the lids out after every harvest the only thing different I do is that I spray two coats of flat black on the outside of every jar. This system has worked very well for me and I keep the jars in a cooler away from light, heat, and cold.
Thanks for sharing and it sounds like an effective system.
Glass jars are available inexpensively. For a hobbyist gardner, jelly jars will work fine for years. I've had very good success using Ball/Kerr jars and have painted jars in the past... but shelves are now behind blackout curtains. These also help to keep temperatures stable.
Tip for painting... run a thin strip of masking tape down the side, top to bottom. Peel away tape when paint is dried and this gives a nice little window to view contents without opening the lid and greatly reduces unwanted light
I'm a fan. You do great stuff. Thanks
I appreciate your comment!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video!
Best of luck storing your end result.
Thank you so much!
You are very welcome!
Very good information , Mason Jars are the best I say (🤔)
Thanks and many will agree with you.
That must be a nice university where you learn to grow cannabis :) :)
Accredit universities offer these lectures as course material.
Thoughts on storing in Mason jars and/or vacuum-sealed plastic in an old, inoperable fridge? The fridge is kept in an outdoor shed that gets little, if any, sun so it rarely gets too hot in there.
In short, sounds like a good method. See this DeBacco University video for more information: ruclips.net/video/M8fBd5N_Kqs/видео.html
Use Cvault, that’s made of steel and works perfectly, inside the vault (on the lid) there is an extra place where you can fit boveda humidity packs
Those steel cannisters are also really expensive.
Good additional point to mention.
What about a heat sealable plastic bag that has an oxygen barrier layer?
What advantage would an oxygen absorber packet thrown in a mason jar provide?
Can be helpful, but there are other aging factors than just O2.
Can you do an episode on Grove bags?
Any chance you have any company connections to get some samples?
Hello sir, I just wanted to ask about Mylar bags with a humidity pouch inside? What are your thoughts in that?
If the bags are truly sealed than the humidity pack would not be needed as no moisture would be able to get in after the time of sealing. So, based on your description, I would suggest another method.
Mason jar in my freezer works best for me.
This can be effective and is easy.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Can you store weed in the freezer?
Wine fridge is perfect..
Great suggestion, sometimes the issue with this method is having enough physical space;-)
What about the Blume bags they say they preserve terps?
No direct experience with these particular bags, but it seems like they would be a good starting point for a trial.
when do you think will we see storage and packaging in hemp-based materials..?
already have it...Dama Distributing
Would seem like a logical progression.
Degredation of cannabis in plastic is caused mostly by what exactly? Due to to containers not sealing as well?
Some complain of a static charge, others the typically poor seal, others simply the potential for the material to react. Typically all of these potentials are eliminated with a quality glass container which is why this method is typically preferred.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you!
what about mylar bags?
Can be effective just make sure the material is thick to withstand transport and there is a good seal from the outside environment.
Can vacuum sealing the pack too tight decrease the weight of the cannabis?
This should not impact the weight.
What about those grove bags?
Many growers report success using these.
another 5*
Great to know!
How about Cookie Tins from the dollar store?
Has to be air tight...
@@Z71Ranger Most of those tins are. You can always place cling wrap between the lid and box to add more tightness.
These are light tight, but air tight is also very important.
Seal them with a seal a meal after you have closed the lid..
No mention of vacuum sealing? For long term storage I use 12" sections of 3" PVC pipe sealed in black vacuum seal bags.
You need a Seal-a-Meal machine and rolls of the black plastic and your 12" sections of pipe and a few small brown paper bags and rubber bands.
Cut the black plastic roll into 18" lengths and seal one end.
Then insert one end of the pipe into a paper bag and wrap with the rubber band to cap off one end.
Then fill the pipe with flowers.
Cap the open end with another paper bag and rubber band. (note the rubber bands do not need to be super tight, just tight enough to keep the bag in place).
Now place the filled pipe into the vacuum bag and vacuum seal it up. The pipe prevents the buds from being crushed. Jars can also be used but the glass is breakable so prefer the pipe.
The point is to store in smaller amounts that you can use as needed, rather than breaking into a whole turkey bag every time you fill your jar.
If you can store them at 50º-60º temperature they will store for years like this without browning out.

I use old spaghetti jars. We poor.
Function over fashion.
