CO2 and storage

[Goat]

Currently, I'm finishing a cure in mason jars, and I was wondering - would the buds keep fresher longer if I replaced the air in the jars with CO2? Does Cannabis react to CO2...is this a good method to prevent oxidation?

Could be , it sounds good. I have a vaccum sealer that does mason jars work great.

Walmart packs there meat with co2 to stop oxidation in their meats.I dont know what it would do to the buds.Why dont you get a small jar and put a few buds in and try it.Then let us all know how it works out.I would like to know.PEACE

Walmart uses CO, which I do not have or want. It keeps it looking redder, longer, but does not actually hinder spoilage - merely the appearance of spoilage.

I use a 'pump 'n' seal'. It gets most of the oxygen out, which is the main goal.
