Grove bags

[LilDad]

Has anybody used grove bags before? I’ve heard that they’re awesome for a 6-8 week cure before jarring, but I’ve also read stuff where folks use their grove bag as primary storage. What was y’all’s experience with them?

I Believe @boo highly recommended them. But see what he chimes in with

I've got about a dozen grove bags in the closet curing...they really do a great job and not having to stuff wide mouth mason jars makes it much easier...I use the 4 ounce bags, bought 20 a while ago...

I bought smaller 6X9 bags and found it annoying to burp them, so I cure in jars and then transfer to the bags for longer term storing or gifting. The smaller bags also put some side pressure on the buds, so they get a little squished if I put them in before they are cured properly. Next time, larger bags : )

You don't have to burp the bags unless the rh is too high to begin with.

Awesome! Do you store your weed in them throughout the year? I heard that the bags don’t trap the smell in too well, and I wonder if you’d be able to open the bags on a weekly/monthly basis without compromising the seal from the ziplock. Can you speak to that?

I've been using them for mebbe 8 months or so and they keep the humidity and smell on the money...I take out what I will smoke the night before because I like storing my weed at about 62% rH...I've never dropped a jar but as I age it's inevitable so bags work for me...I still use jars but they're used for long term storage...the bags work best when heat sealed but I don't do that...they sit in a deep drawer and are opened regularly as needed, can't say anything negative about them, I like 'em...

I have a bad habit of jarring/bagging them too soon.

This is my first go with them. The humidity is a constant 60% and the cure is setting in nice after 7 days

This last harvest has been in Grove bags for 5 months now, awesome. No more jars for me.

I love the Grove bags, so much more convenient, but make sure they are genuine Grove Bags, I've heard there a lot of Chinese fakes on Ebay and Amazon

How was it boo?

perfect and supple...rolling was just right, sticky but not damp...perfect consistency for a joint...for some reason my mind was on for most of the night, only girl crush does the job 100% of the time...

I just bought a few bags - Would anyone know what the highest RH you can safely cure with in a Grove bag would be and would that change as the bag size increases?

I guess that may come down to personal preference but I don't like my weed wetter than 62% so that is when I sealed mine up. They aren't meant to be burped and work best when heat sealed and your weed is at its target humidity. That being said, I still prefer jars just for their adjustment as I don't grow enough for long term storage/curing.

Used em before. I prefer Ziploc gallon bags in a cooler.
