Harvesting cannabis and transporting it to end users is a balancing act. The post-harvest period is a critical time due to the delicate nature of the flower. The unique properties of your cannabis harvest are influenced by temperature changes, moisture, and evaporation.
Vacuum seal bags solve many of these issues and provide the protection needed by the cannabis flower.
There is a reason that pot smokers take great strides to keep their weed airtight. Beyond wanting to keep it out of sight, it is known that the less air your weed is exposed to, the fresher and more potent it will remain.
There will be no drying out of terpenes, the trichomes will stay on the buds, and your weed will not burn as hot.
By keeping your cannabis away from the air, you will also reduce humidity, which can cause mould to grow. To prevent the cannabinoids and terpenes from drying out, store them in a cool place.
You will want to keep it below 23.89 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit). When the majority of the terpenes have been preserved, you will notice a more robust aroma when you grind the flower.
Polysprout vacuum seal bags prevent your harvest’s unique odour from escaping. They also provide protection against freezer burn, mould, and external factors that could negatively affect your harvest.
Vacuum Sealing Weed: What You Need to Know
Ask any pot smoker if there is anything better than finding some weed you forgot you had. For regular marijuana users, it is like finding money and saving time by not having to visit their local dispensary.
If the weed you found was not stored properly, though, it is like throwing your money out the window because ingesting it can make you feel sick, which is definitely not the desired result.
Marijuana can be stored for up to two years in an airtight vacuum-sealed container, protecting it from humidity, heat, or sunlight. In the presence of sunlight or heat, THC is converted into CBN (cannabinol), which can actually make you feel nauseous and dizzy.
Cannabinol is only mildly psychoactive; however, it has been shown to offer an array of medical benefits that scientists are just beginning to explore.
Vacuum sealing is one method for preserving pot, but not the answer for everyone. For some users, it is a great way to keep the buds fresh for long periods of time. For others, the complaint is that vacuum-sealed bags ruin the bouquet of their cannabis.
The controversy as to whether to vacuum seal or not is a personal choice. However, Polysprout has multiple packaging options to consider, which guarantee not to affect the profile properties of your pot.
Why is cannabis vacuum sealing recommended?
The process of vacuum sealing inhibits evaporations and the growth of bacteria, which adversely affects your cannabis. A vacuum bag will also protect the unique odour of your cannabis and prevent any odours from escaping.
Vacuum-sealed bags are particularly important if your cannabis production requires fast freezing applications. Polysprout vacuum-sealed bags are specifically designed to withstand the flash-freeze process, thus maintaining the integrity of your plant profiles.
They are created to provide maximum protection from atmospheric dehydration, freezer burn, and mould. We can also customize the colour and size of the bags to assist you in all of your cultivation needs.
As a consumer, you may not care if your cannabis flower remains intact; you are just going to burn them anyway. As long as you keep your buds out of the light, they will still be as good as the day you bought them.
As a producer of marijuana, though, you may prefer that your product is showroom-ready, shining them in the best light possible (figuratively speaking, of course).
