I bought a bunch of those O2 packs too and use them in my jars and bags long term.

They work well and the jars I’ve not put them in see to get that old weed smell and loose terps.

Good to know. I dont believe i had ever heard of these till just now.

Mason, have you noticed how much heat the packs generate, and if they are releasing significant amounts of water vapor? I saw something about this,...
Basically it's a form of Fe that reacts with O2 to form rust (iron oxide). The process is exothermic, releasing heat. I think this is what's in those hand warmer packs too? My concern is how much and how long that heat is on before the reaction stops from lack of O2, and how much the RH% raises (if at all, not sure about this)...
Looking them up, the size of the pack matters a lot vs. how much air space is present. Most of the brands have some sort of chart and explanation about this, so at least there's some sort of guide!
My plan is to find some sort of fairly rigid container to put the buds into, them gently seal it with the least amount of air I can pull without crushing/collapsing...
I'm looking at putting in both a dessicant pack and the O2 absorber, and finding some way to place both out of direct contact with the buds but still leave them well enough exposed to do their work

...loving those Acers, the Japanese one with the weepy branching is one of my fav's!


>>> I took more dry porn pics... Pimp Daddy time!

Of particular interest to @Jean-O and @WildBill -->

Crazian - dense gummy stuff as expected; aroma is stable so far, still a familiar sort of nice mild sweet-fruity-Kushy blend. The buzz isn't as heavy as most Kushy types, pretty even balance head/body; potency is solid -

>>> Speed Racer - still not well tested for buzz qualities, but she's uplifting day weed for sure! Aroma holding as described before so far, some notes hard to define...

>>> MoB'OGK x C99a - Jean, this one just shifted aroma on me big time! The berry got buried someplace - - it's gone or just overwhelmed by this new shift into the fuelly-piney citrus peel (Calamansi lime-like) realm- WTF?! This is a rare case for me, to see such a sudden total shift like this. Since last mentioned, she sat untouched for 10 days or so...during that time she chameleon'ed on me! ...more smoke testing needed, but like Crazian, not as body/heavy as expected; feels more in line with MoB/C99a... Gotta be all that limonene and pinene!

>>> Lavender/mixed Purps/C99a x StrawDawg - very nice across the board, grow to bowl! Aroma is mostly sweet/floral/light incense-headshop... Buzz is a pleasant dreamy mellowing high, floats you toward a comfy chair toward the end...my guess is a good slug of linalool or similar in there

@Waira never noticed any heat and toss two of them in each large mason jar or vacuum bag. You can vacuum pack them but it will crunch your buds and take away some of the bag appeal and toss them in the freezer. I heard of people doing the later
