CURING: one big jar or multiple small jars? whats better?
THANKS GUYS!

multiple small jars or a nice freezer.

Small and open less. That way if you mess up on a jar you don't ruin a large batch.

Congrats on 420 posts!

I use multiple 1 pint jars. Reason - If all your bud is in one big jar and you get "the fuzzy" you're screwed. If you use multiple jars and one gets "the fuzzy" you're only a little screwed.

I agree, multiple smaller jars. Like MonkE said, when you open a jar to fetch some buds you interrupt the curing process. The longer you keep the other jars sealed the better they cure.

cool thanks for the help guys!!

I use the 1 pint mason jars too.

Never put all your eggs in one basket sounds like your getting to the fun part of the growing process enjoyyyyy

YES thanks man!

I have used a bunch of small jars or one large jar, and the large jar takes a lot longer to cure...but when it happens it seems to be somehow better...almost nothing molds where I am though since the air is so very very dry...

The best way and the new way I might very well start doing all my harvests is the way I do my popcorn nugs...I put them all in a cardboard box, or paper bag and just put them somewhere that is well ventilated and just leave them alone for a couple of weeks...when you get them back down they will be dry, but just perfectly so that when you out them in a jar they lose the crumble, but can regain it if need be...

well im tracking the humidity in my jars so i shouldnt have any mold issues

I use the paper bag method to dry my nugs but cure them in 1 quart jars, works for me.

i hung my stuff in a carboard box, cut a 6 inch hole in the side and stuck my 6 inch duct fan with my carbon filter on it to pull the air and moisture out. took about 4 days to dry enough for curing.

Multiple jars. What happens is everything is fine, then one of the jars won't smell just right. I immediately dump that jar into the clipped, dried shake box for a few hr. The dried bud leaf shake acts to pull the moisture out and kills the off smell. Then back into the jar. I just turned out 8 oz in a dozen perserve jars. It's not so hard. I can burp the box of jars in only 3 minutes.

So, you don't want to use just one jar. A little mildew means the entire jar is contaminated.

got a big jar thatll hold a half pound and a dozen 1 pint (jelly) jars. put my big buds in the big jar with a meter to keep an eye on the humidity and the rest is spread throughout the 12 smaller jars. think i got it lol

walmart sells a small Thermometer/RH% for like 7 or 8 bucks its small enough to fit in a large glass jar (not the pints) and it mesures the rh% in the jar so you know if it ever gets to high you need to burp the jar and let it breathe

The nose knows. I had no problems for the 1st 2 weeks, but the last run, I had to re-condition 4 jars after 3 weeks.

Hey just wondering is burping the jar to control the humidity? So if I were to cure in the driest place possible I would never have to open and this would give me the best cure? I never understood the point of burping I thought it was to just let the buds breath?
