Curing with Dry Ice.... Still need jars?

I've been thinking about experimenting with the dry ice method of curing, and I've done enough research to learn how to use the method, but I still haven't come across any posts or comments whether or not using jars would still be necessary after the dry ice process is completed. Any suggestions?
 
Dry ice method was somewhat successful. It turned the nugs a darker color, though. Although the research I had done reflected a higher potency, the actual experiment didn't really show too much of a difference. It was fun to give it a try, but I'll be sticking with traditional methods of drying and curing.

ha,, nice thread, i was thinking about trying a method so had a look around and here it is, question and answer,,
so may i ask, after using the dryice did you leave the bud at room temp or put in fridge to the put at room temp.??
thanks and take it easy..
 
After the dry ice evaporated, I kept the buds in the freezer to preserve the THC and the crystals. If you don't keep them in the freezer, the THC will deteriorate very quickly, as compared to traditional methods of drying and curing.
*Note: Handle the nugs VERY CAREFULLY!

I would like to see that research and see what comparative was actually made. At harvest a fair amount of THC is in a non-psychoactive form and it takes time for it to become fully psychoactive, hence a long slow dry followed by a long slow cure. I would like to know how dry ice speeds up the transformation of non-psychoactive THC into psychoactive THC and does so in a way where it becomes even more potent than the natural process that needs time to achieve.
