The best way to preserve the quality of our bud for long term is using vac-seal mylar bags.
You can choose to cure your bud beforehand or even just vac-seal and freeze without curing (as organic freshly herb is also good without curing and has other terpenes than older weed, more monoterps vs sesquiterps)
You can cut the bags into smaller sizes to have weekly portions so that all the rest stays as it was.
Don't ever use plastic vacuum bags as they will fuck up the taste of your buds (trust me I tried and compared food safe plastic vs vac seal mylar). Mylar is inert and won't leach anything. It preserves the quality, taste and texture wonderfully.
The issue with freezing your bud in glass jars is that once the jar comes out of the freezer, you will be opening the jar sometimes to get weed out, this will deteriorate the quality. This has nothing to do with the freezing but rather with the fact that fresh air will come into the jar.
For me jars are good to get weed at a certain point with minimal opening. But one you hit the point at which the weed is at it's best, it is best to package it in vac seal mylar bags in small portions(lets say 10-20 grams)
You can then choose to freeze or not. But after 6 months I would def. freeze it. You can also freeze vac-sealed buds at different times to get different tastes, aromas and quality from the same batch of weed. For example after 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months. This way you can have fresher herb and more cured herb from the same batch so to have variation.
