Curing...Mason Jar Size?

ChemPro · Jul 13, 2016

I use a method from a post called "A Perfect Cure Every Time." I use mason jars and a Caliber III hydrometer to monitor the humidity. I've been using the jars that are the size of a standard jar of spaghetti sauce.

These Caliber III hydrometers aren't too expensive ($25), but when you are filling 30 jars it can be pricey. So my question is, can you use larger mason jars? I've seen mason jars that hold 1 to 2 gallons. I have only have 10 Caliber III hydrometers and I like to not have to buy another 20. Does the size of the jar matter?

No, it's how you fill it that matters

No, can't post links to my forum here, what I do is very different from everything you read in forums, I take enough crap here as it is

So whats the deal? Can I use larger mason jars as long as I keep them 2/3rds full?

Yes. Just be sure to monitor for humidity if product is not fully cured.

Regards.

Half gallon, El cheapo China rh meters, 3.00, about 1.5"x.75"x.5". Nice, small, cheap, and out of 10, all read exact but one, it was +1rh. I own 36 of them. I fill my jars 80% full.

Boveda packs my friend. Check them out.

Those are only good for after curing to keep buds stable. Not for the actual curing process. Unless you throw all your old crusty packs in a jar to cure the buds. The packs might absorb the moisture. Not sure, I don't cure that way.

FLEABAY ... These work well and cost a whopping $1.37 apiece.

Problem solved.

Boveda packs work well too .. Easy to use ... Just drop RH " close " to the target range and drop them in. I i drop mine to 67-68 % ( measured ) , then the boveda pack does the rest.
