I have been freeze drying my flower for the last three years. It isn’t perfect, but it preserves triches and cannabanoids better than hang drying. There was a white paper done on it by the creators of the live frozen process. There is a loss of terpene, but not to a crazy extent. My understanding on the issue is that anytime you go below 400 millibars (?) Of vacuum during the process it burns off some terpene. I dry and store in glass or 5 gallon buckets with 62% humidity packs. It smokes good, gets you plenty high and even presses well for rosin. It does powder up when you grind it, but it smokes and vapes very well. They make a vacuum controller that will regulate vacuum during the process, but they want like 3 grand for it. I haven’t needed it that badly yet.

Here are a few harvested bud pics from the indoor seed crop this summer. Selfed a Gorilla Glue #4, as well as pollinating the following strains with the same plant: Skywalker OG, Bruce Banner #3, Runtz Punch, Mimosa x Orange Punch and a strain of Purple Cherries that I have been growing for the past 4 years.

First post on the site. Been creeping for a bit, catching all the good info being dropped. Been growing for about 35 years, minus a 21 year stint in Federal Law Enforcement. Retired in the fall of 2019. Legalization happened in June of 2021. Been growing steady for the last 4 years. Several indoor crops, but outdoor plants every year to make use of all that free par and UV. Growing at 7500 feet, the UV stays around 8 or better most of the year. Makes for great triches.
