Orange Peel

When using an orange peel to refresh dry buds, do you actually place the peels in the same bag as the weed?

Also, is it alright if they touch?

Yes but lettuce works better or any fresh leaf from almost any plant. Be careful using fruit as it can bring on mold quicker than other greens due to the sugar. Use a small piece of lettuce instead and only for a couple hours in a sealed glass jar.

Ok I will give lettuce a try. I have another question. The buds that I will be trying to refresh have been vacuum sealed. Is it worth refreshing them? Can it even be done?

That shouldn't make much of a difference, it will freshen your buds up a bit in a couple hours...just be careful not to leave the lettuce/orange peel into long or you WILL develop mold.

Well, I've seen vacuum sealed buds and they are hard as a rock. I doubt they will refresh the way you want them to. They will stay in the same state they are in now, hard as brick.

Give it a try, though, can't hurt. Report back what happens.

Have you seen vacuum sealed buds before? You practically need a mortar and pestle to grind the shit up. An oz is the size of a Bic lighter. Other objects are slowly drawn towards it because of it's so dense.

No, I don't think adding a piece of lettuce is going to fluff that shit out at all.

Try lettuce.

Or a single droplet of water on a paper towel. Only if it does not touch the buds.

I have a feeling your right perp. What about the smoke in the short run (2-3 months). WIll it still retain most of its potency? They're vacuum sealed and in a dark dry place. My biggest concern is the smoke rather than presentation.

Next time I think I'll use jars.

usually vac seal is for shipping and consealing smell... it would be hard to find a person that had the bud in both states,,,vac-ed and fresh,like you...

the attached pic is the size of lettuce I put in a ¼ to a ½ but,,, not sealed with it,only after opening the seal... it will bring fluff back to the bud but,,, not to the point of before vac...

do not over-do the lettuce because it will promote mold... I just put the lettuce in the bag or jar...
