never heard of canning???,, this all depends on how you have dried your
pot,, to what degree,, if their is alot of moisture in your buds,, like the
stalks bend easy not snap!!!!,, they could mold in the bag,, sealed.

i know the vacuum sealer extracts lots of moisture too, in the sealing
process,,

i would go for the bagged vacuum sealer as you can LOOK at your weed thru
the clear plastic,, and actually sort of rip open any bud to look for signs
of mold!!!! in a sealed can you cant see the buds and have to guess whats
goin on inside.

Old style maison jars? The ones that us a separate elastic (mostly
red) thingie as a joint?

You better watch out, it's stated a few weeks back that toxic
material from the joint gets drawn into the jar and thus
contaminating its content (i seem to remember it was highly
toxic)

The red plastic thingie is a rubber seal on antique mason jars. Totally not
toxic. Dig your brain out of the toilet and put it to use.

Yeah, same here. I'd be a toxic waste dump with legs if that
were the case. We canned literally hundreds of pints of jam and jelly
and probably hundreds of quarts of fruits like
pears/peaches/applesauce/rhubarb/etc. Only effect noted from canning
was huge savings on the grocery bills.
I just hope the process of canning involves more than just the
warming that was described though; usually, the jars are dunked in
boiling water to both warm the jar and sanitize them before they are
filled with hot final contents as fully as they can be filled. Lids
and seals promptly installed tightly, and then when it's all done make
a sandwich and start counting the loud snaps as the lids are sucked
down from the vacuum created from the cooling contents. If you don't
get enough snaps, you go around and tap the lids with a spoon until
you get one that has a dull sound and that's the one that didn't seal.
You use that one right away and the rest are good for keeping in a
cool dark place.
Canning used to be a necessity for those of us who grew up out
in the rural areas. We had a huge garden that provided enough veggies
for an entire year if they were properly preserved or stored.
Anyone remember melting parafin wax to seal the tops of the
fruit preserves before the lids wers put on? That made for an airtight
seal and made sure no air was trapped in the jar that was in contact
with the foodstuffs.
Now, if that was being referred to as a storage method for
bud, that's another thing. Using a jar that was heated and filled with
as much bud as you can cram in will pull a slight vacuum when cooled.
However, this isn't much of a vacuum and you could do lots better with
one of those vacuum packaging kits you see advertised on tv. It will
pull a better vacuum in the mason jar which will remove more air from
around the bud and help to preserve it. Storing bud in this method
really does help it keep it's taste and potency longer when kept in a
cool place away from light. Also, being glass instead of the typical
plastic ziplock freezer bag, it's airtight and your freezer won't
smell like bud if you put it there. Almost all of those plastic
freezer bags seem to be porous to odor.

You need to be careful about crushing them, if you value aesthetics.
Using a canning jar for the popcorn buds works well, if you draw out the
air and freeze them.
