Curing question

Hey i have a little question about what containers i can use to cure my buds.
i just harvested my first grow and ended up with a little more bud than i thought.

there's a link to my harvest thread.
I don't think i can find enough jars to contain all that bud so i was wondering what else i could use. Zip-lock bags? essentially isn't that doing the same thing as using glass jars? any other inexpensive methods?

So i asked my self the same question like an hour ago so i bailed out to walmart and picked up a bunch of the biggest rubber made food containers available. something like 2.5 gallon rubbermaid food containers that are air tight. no, i wouldnt use baggies to cure, it just doesnt work aswell.

true so i could use like big tupperware containers with sealed lids? are they cheap?

They sale glass jars at walmart too. The regular mason jars and also the the ones with pop lids, but the pop ones are a tad expensive.

i live in aus so i dont have walmart. and it seems inexpensive jars like mason jars are tougher to come by here,

sorry for assumeing you lived in US. Check grocery stores or, don't you have any kind of mega stores. If not try something like good well, thrift stores or yard sales.

garage sales are the shit u can find anything if u do enough searching .. i picked up to jars this morning not sure on the size but for 5 bucks for both i dont care... and they even say harvest time imprinted in the glass ...

anything air tight will work.
the only problem using ziploc bags would be when moisture gathers on the sides of the bags while theyre in touching the buds, could start to mold or make flat spots on your buds.

tupperware isnt too expensive, and it comes in so many shapes and sizes you ota be able to find something affordable and large enough if you look around. just make sure its airtight

oh yea, those are some sweet buds, fat and chunky lookin.

The few times I bother to purchase grocery store pasta sauce, I get Classico. It comes in Mason jars. I always save them for drinking glasses. As a result, I just happen to have enough to cure my bud in. Cheers.

You don't cure in plastic, unless you like the taste of plastic. Goosecomander- harvest time glass ware, awesome.

Man I stack that pasta sauce every night, people eat the shit out of that stuff, and juice too.

The triches rub off on plastic and you cant scrape it off the way you can with glass so you lose thc.

Go to stater bros and get some canning jars they are about 9 dollars for a case of 12

i'm gunna go shopping around today and hopefully find some glass jars. you guys have put me off the idea of using plastic.. i figured the whole residual plastic your weed would be a big reason why people don't do it. unless i can get like medical grade pastic containers.. not so cheap though i'd assume :S anyways, thanks for the advice

Just ask anywhere you go for canning jars, they are made for pickling, and canning jellys and such.

thanks, found abunch of good ones today for cheap. *phew*. now i play the waiting game

If you got some extra buck, I've heard nothing cures bud like the "0,0 Boxes", cedar wood boxes with higrometer and kief screen... but that's a luxury we all can't afford...
