I haven't found a specific answer to this question anywhere online.
I need to store for up to 6 months and a possible 8 months at most.
I only have access to glass jars with rubber seal and hatch for a lid in my location. (i believe these seals are made of silicone but I'm not too sure)
questions:
1) Would these work for absolute freshness for that time period ?
2) would boveda be necessary for this time period or should i add them anyway to assure the potency?
3) Ive read many threads of people just mentioning store in mason jars. but no one actually talks about vacuum sealing them. Is it assumed that all are saying to vacuum seal these jars or is it ok to just store without vacuum sealing. (mason jars are quite expensive here and vacuum sealers that can be used with wide mouth i cannot find)
I have something similar to the image below.

thanks , other sites said better to vacuum seal with boveda and also even without boveda and vacuum seal is just fine. but without vacuum seal and with boveda is pointless. don't see as it should still work but ehh.

If cured and dried properly then the product will last for up to a year but as much as it's frowned upon I freeze mine in mason jars and it's fresh and potent when I start a new jar. I do have a vacume sealer as well and it works but it's for bags and we use it more for odour control when shipping. If your really concerned then I have heated the jars in boiling water then filled and sealed while hot and they are then under a slight vacume. Google canning.

Keep it in the freezer if ur keeping it for 8 month. Don't be taking it out and putting it back in all the time though. If not air tight glass jars in a cool dark place.
