yet another one.... :|

Listen kid, we can't tell you if its ready or not. Use your brain before asking such questions.. would ya? Your not the only one that has asked this question.. millions of other noobs have asked this question too.. but the point is.. is we can't tell you if its ready or not. Only YOU!!!! can tell if its ready or not. If you don't know how to check to see if they're ready.. well... I'm not going to tell you how to do it.. because I'm getting tired of people being lazy.. and not taking the time to do their own research. I had to do it.. so why shouldn't you guys have to?? If you can't figure it out.. msg me and I'll be glad to help.. and the only reason I offer my help.. is because I'm a nice person and I like helping people when they really need the help.. but again.. don't be lazy.. do your own research.. and then!!! and only THEN! if you can't figure it out after researching your question(s).. then by all means feel free to come in and ask for help.

Good luck.

I've read through about half of this thread and still going, but my plant is getting close to harvest and I want to allow you time to answer this. This is my first plant to successfully grow out and I don't have any jars to cure them, what is the second best or even third best? lol I appreciate it.

I would think any nonepouris airtight contaner, even ziplock
Pet Food storage containers work well as they have air/moisture barrier. 5 gallon buckets are hit an miss, as some leak, and some don't. Ropak also makes buckets that can be ordered or picked up in Oakland if you are not too far from there. They also make all the Water-Farm buckets for GH, so if you want waterfarm buckets for 2 bucks instead of 20.. check em out. I like doing the brown bag for the first week + of cure. They aren't air tight, but do work like a cedar humidor if you are not in too arid a climate. Once the mid-sized stems just 'snap' they are ready for a plastic/glass container. I still pop them open once a day for aq few days, but then they should be good for 3-6 weeks if you want the best, or rather my favorite, cure. I always end up airing them out by default every time I open em up to grab a nug, which can be rather frequently.

Very very very helpful, it also gave me a few ideas of what to google. Thanks +rep
 
Hey guys whats up! I posted here about 3-4 weeks ago when I had a bud drying for about 3 days. So now the buds have been curing for about 3 weeks now and I smoked a joint and Oh my jesus... I haven't been that high in awhile lol. I harvested when all my trichomes were amber and milky color and damm thats some good wheelchair weed! Anyways, my question now is, some of my plants smell like hay while they dry/cure and some smell amazing. Why is this? Different strains?

I think know the answer since I just fermented some bomb pickles in similar jars, but are the twist-type mason jars (i.e. Kerr) are just as good as the latch-type mason jars?

no offense but isnt a sealed jar as good as vacuum sealed bag? Please correct me if Im wrong. Im trying to decide whether to go buy jars or a sealer....thanks..But Im thinking a sealed bag is going to smash buds all into a brick.
