Well I was thinking of doing this in a few months when I do my first harvest, but my freezer is pretty small on top of being pretty full. With small amounts I was thinking of clearing some space but like I said I can't have guests able to find it when they (or I) open the freezer to get something. I'd also imagine there being a whiff with the front ice dispenser lol.

Sams has a nice 7.1 cubic foot chest freezer that I could easily put in the garage. Bonus aspect is it has a lock on it to keep any nosey guests out. It is a manual defrost though so I'd have to clean it somewhat often, but after highschool jobs it's a breeze to clean out just ice instead of all that gunk that actual food would help build up.

I can tell there is weed in there when opened but it doesn't reek in my situation. Definitely keeps everything sealed inside when shut.

I'm pulling out boxes that have been in for about two months now and they are hitting perfect ~61% on the caliber.

Don't you vacuum down the jar's when you put them in the freezer? Shouldn't be any smell if you do that. Just finished some Sweet Skunk and have it jarred in 1/2 gallon canning jar, humidity in the jar is about 60%, put it in the freezer and will burp it for the next several days. Will add an observation if any thing thing happens that I can ascertain.

No, the buds are not in any kind of sealed container during the curing process. For me, I prefer using shoe boxes without the lids until the buds are cured, at which time they can be sealed up in jars. All the info is on the first page.

i tried the freezer cure method, i used folded up brown shopping bags and a shoebox with a lid in a frost fridge

at day 15 the buds were way too wet, so i probably did something wrong. they smoke ok, but very wet.. they have great bag appeal however. little smell, tbh the deep chunk smells a little like piss.. it was probably the paper bag it was in

day 15 deep chunk x cheese

day 2 random haze

box of highland sunshine

will they be 100% dry on day 20?

i left a top cola out for about 10 minutes... after it defrosted it was very fluffy.. kind of like street bud but fresher i guess? it smells like wet marijuana, but i can taste the flavor.. nice psychedelic buzz from the highland sunshine

i guess this is what happens when you either cut too early or closing the lid/top of the bag while curing?
