Keeping Your Leaf Trimmings Fresh.

[Rastaman Vibrations]

Between leaf trimmings and periodic pruning, I sometimes end up with a pretty good amount of leaves that can be used for hash, butter, or some other useful method of recycling. However, it's never really enough at one time except at harvest. Now, if I can save up all those wonderful trimmings until said harvest, I can have a pretty nice score. My problem is, anytime I save any trimmings longer than a week or two, they end up moldy. How would you guys reccomend I keep my leaf trimmings fresh and how do you suggest I recycle/consume them? I'd like a few diffrent approaches so don't be afraid to sound off on your personal methods.:rastasmoke:

Thanks for the replies. What's the shelf life using any of the above methods?

[stinkyattic]

I don't know, but I just picked up some bubble hash that was JUST made this month from 6 - 55 gallon DRUMS of leaf trimmings cut this past October hahaha!!! It works just fine, but I don't think I really would want to see what the contents of those drums looked like :wtf: I suspect the trim was dried first though, because that seriously improves the 'shelf life' if you don't intend to freeze the stuff.

i have found that freezing the trim in bags, it will keep for atleast 2 months

[jchap]

i froze mine fresh,

is that wrong?

i plan on the cold water electric whisk method, then letting the thc settle in the fridge:stoned:

2 months? is that all they last in freeze?

[texas grass]

its ok to freeze them fresh or dried. doesnt matter in my experiences

ive only let sit for 2 months tops. i pretty sure they will last alot longer as long as they were stored properly
