Mason jars

[Dr. Green Fang]

I'd drive 45min for $8 bormiolli jars. I can't find them anywhere for close to that GF.

Not interested in purchasing online? Buy it from a quality outlet online, and you should expect a good product and safe delivery.


Also, as for the Hygro meters.. I mean, they are good to get a general idea of what your entire harvest is at. I own 2 meters, and generally pack 8+ jars each harvest. I just get 1 in one strain jar, and 1 in another strain. Overall, over time, I haven't needed em as much. It really is true that you get an idea, just by touch and sight...no need for meters. But I will always use at least a couple.

I haven't used the Boveda packs yet, but have been thinking about em, just so I can hold flowers longer.

Doc,
Try the Boveda packets. Been using them for a couple of years now and I really like `em. Which reminds me, I need to order some more of `em.

OK now I'm scared. I would be heart broken if my bud molded Ms. Rose. So go with glass 1/2-1 gallon with no more than 1-2 oz per jar? So most don't use hygrometers? Will bovedas help avoid mold altogether? I'd drive 45min for $8 bormiolli jars. I can't find them anywhere for close to that GF. Headed back to the mart.

Its really very simple once you get the hang of it, once they are ready for jars you put them in and close them up. For a couple days check them often when the buds are damp lay them on their side with lids off, this will allow for maximum air/bud contact. When the dry up close the lids and just keep doing this, dont over pack them. The more stem left on the plant the longer it takes them to cure, and IMO, that is what you want, a nice long cure.

Thanks folks. Strawberry blue trichs are clouding up now I think they finish almost right at 9 weeks. The cotton cand 's are still clear. Now I'm seeing the difference between cloudy and clear. I will be putting the advice given to use soon?

 

[BROMAN]

I've been shopping online and those jars are pretty expensive. I will use the hygrometers I have and be sure to burp the jars daily.. Mornings and evenings.

try the dollar shops and discount shops, they can be found for 1/2 or less of what you might see in other places

Glass containers, Boveda humidity packs and burping = Nice cured buds. Have been using this method for a couple of years now. Buds over a year old are just like freshly cured buds. IMO.

 

[BROMAN]

Thanks Zem will do. The dollar store is my friend. Yoopers, do you still keep packs in with the older bud? Or do you remove after the initial cure?

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Boveda packs have almost nothing to do with bringing humidity down. They have to do with sustaining the flowers along with the "cure zone" (55% - 70%) for as long as possible. Boveda packs help keep it up, not lower :aok:

 

[yooper420]

I do believe in using the packs. And yes, I do keep one in the jars at all times. When they get hard you just replace `em.

 

[sopappy]

I have dried and cured hundreds of plants and have never used a hygrometer once.

ditto, well, maybe not hundreds

and I call them BerNARdin jars, that Mason guy sure lucked out.
Imagine the argument he and Bernardin had over who'd get top billing on the jars....
"Mason Bernardin" says Mason, no no no, Bernardin Mason or I'm pulling out.... okay okay, says Mason, we'll call them Bernardin Mason jars.

 

[Kraven]

Have used the Boveda humidity packs (62%) for a couple of years now. Really like them as they adjust the humidity, up or down to keep it at 62%. When the pack gets hard just replace it with a fresh one. Have weed over a year old that`s as good as when it was first cured.

Just bought a brick of Boveda to try, I like the fact you use them yoop and they sure have a great site.

Put boveda packs in jars after cure was all done one per quart jar then vacuum sealed jars..air light and heat will degrades bud over time.keep in dark cool place should last for years.every time I pop a new jar open ooh la la..as fresh as the day it went in

 

[BROMAN]

Boveda it is. I'm sold.

I haven't been able to keep it in here long enough to worry about that.
Years? Are you kidding? I start plucking off wee buds in flower and sitting them on top of the fridge before I even harvest!

[mossycrew479]

Not my choice trust me it sucks after 36 years at job they went to random testing I get 6weeks vacation I take it all at once so I can medicate for ten days then clean out again..if anyone knows how to beat test HELP ..consumer for 42 years before this only couple years left to semi retiring

Synthetic urine. I forget the brand name but its supposed to be good for three years even after being warmed in the microwave. Do a search. Keep it in locker, desk, work bag, briefcase or lunch box. An option.

 

[Kraven]

I sub with a synthetic and never have a problem.
