    Default Are these good curing jars?

    I have the jars with the clamps, i dont have the screw caps. Should i use these jars for curing or should i just use them for storage when i am done with the curing cycles?

    The large ones are 3.1 liters and the small ones are 1.1 liters. I might get a third big jar because i am dealing with 5 plants and 3 different strains.

    Whatever...it isn't really a big deal...I don't like the clamp jars just because that seal starts to get dry as the jars get old and they are very soon no longer airtight..which defeats the purpose...I would use the clamps for curing and mason jars for longterm storage.

    what ever I use what I have around .. mostly intanten coffee jars as in the pics .. other once is from Ikea for sugar/flower ..

    just need to be air tight .. remember to keep em open for 15 minuts twise a day fist week .. and once a day next week ..

    and give em atlest 5-7 days drying time before you put em in the jars ..

    keep em kool .. keep em dark .. keep em safe .. for when I return .. Ooh sorry wrong movie ..

    I have the same jars they work fine hold more than mason jars as for the seal drying out this will happen but if u soak the seal in some veggie oil remove and wipe clean this should preserve the seal . What strains u gonna fill those up with?

    Are you done after 3 weeks, then? Or do you open them once a week for a couple of weeks after that?

    I have seen herb that was properly dried and properly cured, then stored in mason jars, and over two years later was like EFFIN' UNBELIEVABLE......dry it properly, cure it properly and then invest on mason jars...........just my opinion thanks to Grandma knowing her shit about keeping shit a looooooong time !!!!!!!!

    Just grabbed up a few cobalt glass clasp jars. Pretty cheap and looked sharp, just wondering if the cobalt glass contains any properties that may effect curing overall, good or bad.

    I have around 30 cobalt jars that I use for herbs. I love them because they look nice and keep the UV out. I also use mason jars which are larger but have to be stored in a darkish place. I usually transfer the herbs I need to the cobalt jars, which I keep on my desk, and just keep refilling those.
