Can i freeze my harvest and dry my buds later? Anyone Experiences?

Thanks for the answers. Really helped me out. To maintain quality, I dry slowly at a constant 21°C in a box. The buds should be pretty dry in 8 days. Normally, I can easily snap the stems and smoke it by then. After that, I freeze them in a box at -18°C. Thanks Spuwuky for the tip about drying beforehand. I wasn't sure if it's better to freeze them wet or dry. I once froze a few buds along with leaves right after the harvest, thawed them out later, and made hash from it. They actually looked pretty okay. However, I didn't smoke it. It should work out.👍 I've already thought about whether my neighbors, who are already watering the garden, could also dry my buds at the same time. 😁 But that probably won't work.😟 Thanks for the great help! Cheers

You can always chop her now, cut all the leaves (when you have a drying net I would also cut the buds lose from the branches already). And then let the weed dry as long as possible. Before you leave then you cut the buds up (only buds not sticks and leaves) and put this inside a jar or zipbag and stuff this inside the freezer. Then it is time to enjoy your holiday and relax. When you come home you can make bubble hash from the frozen weed. Really easy to make. If you have questions about how to make this I can show you how to do.

you'd have to wait for it to dry out a bit to avoid teh mushy wetness that is.. i misread question slightly. put it in fridgerator? speed dry it? (that will hurt quality of course. definitely don't leave it in a sealed container for 3 weeks if recently dried... it'll smell and taste like shit when you get back.. probably get some sort of lung infection from whatever grew on it. (visible or not... anaerobic bacteria is generally bad news)

they will dry in the freezer if you leave them long enough... i've frozen fresh plant material in past for hash runs. it was all in a freezer ziplock bag, too (no open air)... They slowly dry out. Just as your ice cubes slowly dwindle in the freezer if left untouched for long periods of time... nearly all freezers are no-frost... if by chance you do not have a no-frost freezer ymmv... if RH is high, then it will evaporate very slowly.. think of it as freeze drying your weed, poor-man's style. you'd have to observe and somehow measure it (mass would work) to help determine when it is properly dried. somewhere around 1/5th of original weight etc...

No, they will turn to mush when you thaw them out.
