not saying i have it, but if i did just finish drying 4+ lbs of buds how would i cure this

it would be insane to use the jar method on all this bud

could i just put it all in a trash bag and pull all the air out of it and then follow the same steps as the jar method

or could i build a box made of wood

what could i do

i do have an old mini-fridge wouldnt that work like the jars?

i really want to know if the box would work cuz ifso i can build it big enough so that all i have to do is open it with out taking all the buds out and then putting them back in- trying to make this as low effort as i can

what about a big ass 30 + gal. tote

Lol, yeah right.



Personally, unless it's for personal consumption, I think the curing stage is way overrated. Sure, it might be nice to smell sweet goodness all the time, but for those of us with regular jobs who work our asses off in addition to what other things we might be doing, it seems like more hassle than it's worth.

Not saying that I've done this before, but it fetches no better or worse price on the market from the people I've known. lol

Good luck on curing your imaginary bud. Hahaha

curing seems very hi or miss in peoples opinions. i've only harvested one lot, so can't easily commen, but the smoke sucked, until about a week into cuing when it suddenly started tasting and hitting like a weed should.

just buy some large tuppaware tubs for kitchens etc. at work we have air tight 25 liter tubs and that lot, that would work jsut dandy, pop the lid each day kazaaaaaaaam

something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sistema-Klip...3965383&sr=8-5

You know you would get a wide range of opinions when you asked the question, right? Mine is that curing is very important. And if I put the work into growing 4 pounds nothing would stop me from taking the final steps to do it right. I don't see why it would be insane to use jars. A quarter pound goes in a quart jar so you are talking about 16 jars. And to open and air them it would take a half hour a day for 30 days. If you wanted to cut the work further you could get half gallon jars and have 8. Just my opinion - the finishing touches often make all the difference.

8 - 16 jars every gatdamn day for 30 days
i do have a job other then burping jars and waiting for the buds to redry just to put them back in

Whatever you use, dont use wood... or anything that will absorb moisture. The whole point of curing is to slow dry

should i try and suck the air out of it each time i reclose it
or should air be in it

shudnt the curing medium be glass..?
wee fish tank and if u got a suitable air tight lid could be handy even..
unless the plastic has no ill effects on the bud by all means use tuperware

kinda misses the point of curing.

a wooden box will work like a paper bag, in that fact that it will dry it out real quick, suck the moisture out of it. the idea of curin g as far as i'm aware is that you seal the bud in an airtight glass container (if it is specifically glass i do not know why ) and the cure basically allows the whole thing to spread the moisture retained throughout the bud and then dry it across the whole thing evenly, in a slow process.

here is where i guess, the burping each day is to allow the moist air to escape and let fresh dry air in, you then reseal and the new air picks up the moisture. and repeat
