I found a great way to easily and quickly store weed for long term preservation. Vacuum seal using standard glass canning jars and a Food Saver Model # T03-0006-02, vacuum sealer attachment. It allows you to seal the jar using the accessory port line and astandard Ball or Mason jar canning lids without the ring. You can pop open the lid to remove contents, and then reseal using the same lid. If the vacuum sealed jars are stored in a cool dark place, you have eliminated the three factors namely heat, light, and oxygen. In a vacuum enviroment, weed does not dry out and inhibits mold.


Here is a link to the Food Saver attachment. The link is for the standard size lid, but they also have wide mouth version. FoodSaver�®

Initially I had a problem sealing, but found that by using two lids stacked on top of each other worked, and after I verified that I was pulling vacuum through the accessory line by holding my finger over the end of the open vacuum line, it worked like a charm.
