Harvest & Curing Alternative to mason jars for curing

[BigCheezeDog]

So this harvest most of my mason jars are full of food So I was looking for an alternative and the first thing that came to mine was cookie tins.

I would assume stainless would be best, but other than that is that a bad idea. I am just a small personal use grower so I don't need industrial strength.

I've heard grove bags are meant to be good I think a few folks are testing them on here but I just use any glass jars I can find and I'm not sure about tins but maybe

That is a great idea too since when not in use they can store flat. Though I might just get plain O2 Barrier bags off of amazon and avoid the "Cannabis Tax".

I keep every glass jar i buy. Salsa, pickles, sauces, etc. The mrs is an herbalist so we spent WAY too much on jars early on and we know the value of each one. Ive used plastic for short term but nothing beats glass yet in my experience

@BigCheezeDog The grove Bags are much more than a O² barrier bag. They actually regulate the moisture level while allowing a small amount of O² to cure with. I think they are the best thing since sliced bread for cannabis cure/storage. I think the most practicle size for me (a home grower) are the 1/4 pound and the 1 ounce. I have cured two plants from the dry line into the bag and heat sealed. I gust opened the first bag after 5 weeks in the bag no burping. They are as good or better than the jar method. Here is a thread about the bags:

Glass is always best. Anything plastic can really impart a plasticky smell or even taste to buds that are curing. You CAN, however, definitely keep dried buds in a plastic container. IMO metal containers are probably okay but as a general rule, the only metal "anything" i use on my bud is a grinder. Or my jar lids, lol.

I have tried and will continue to use Grove bags going forward. They're amazing - no burping, no plastic smell or taste, perfect cure.

I third the Grove Bags. Strongest smelling bud I've had in four years. Bags are a value but the zip lock may separate.

Do you seal up the grove bags with heat? Does that mean that u can only use the grove bag once? I guess I’m asking when u open it can u seal it back up?

I didn't heat seal mine and the smoke has been fine. If you heat seal then it's only once.
