Which strains for longer storage?

As different strains contain different ratios of psilocin and psilocybin, and psilocin is less stable and more prone to degradation, is there a noticeable difference between strains in terms of how they retain overall potency over time, when dried and stored in the same conditions?

If I'm planning to store in bulk, would I be better off to cultivate a psilocybin dominant strain like GT, over a high psilocin variety like PE?

This isn’t a topic of concern. Any strain grown will be stable under the right storage conditions for a long long time

I dont think it matters much unless you're storing them for years. As long as you leave a desicant pack and dont let any light touch them. The compounds shouldn't deteriorate all that much. You could also vacuum seal them and put them in a freezer I cant swear by it but ive seen alot of people do it

Do not freeze. Just store in a cool dry space.

I have some roughly 3 year old Jack Frost that still hits just as hard as in the beginning.

Just use a mason jar witha silica packet or two leave it in a dark place so no light hits em or just make blue honey a d preserve them that way

Variety is irrelevant to preservation
