Jar Size?

Hey does the size of the jar for curing matter? Is there a difference because I want to go get a dozen half gallon jars but are quart or pint size better? My nugs won't fit in the small jars. Please help I'm curing tomorrow.

just make sure you have a jar that you can leave 20% of the top free for moisture to rise

I have mostly 2 litre jars, which hold 100 grams dry. And a couple of 3 litre jars - cos I liked the look of the big bastards.

Aight good cause some nugs wont fit the small ones

Quart Jars FTW.

.

I like Ziploc plastic 1 litres jars 'cause I can throw them at the wall when I get bored.

Yuck...plastic.

-) just my personal preference)

quart jars work for most of it but i want to keep those colas intact

I use old pickle jars. Sam's Club sometimes pays off.

Do pickle jars seal up? 1 gallon empty jars are $12 and pickles are $4

I just bought some pickle jars from Walmart for like 10 bucks for 12 of them.

i have found 1/2 gal canning jars. I am trying pickle jars now.

plastics are cheap but bad for the enviroment! good ole glass jars last long and are uber recycleable.... plus you can get them by just grocery shopping for normal shit and saving them after they are empty.

Biggest thing to remember is that you have to really clean them, the lids especially. I hand and machine washed them several times, let them air out for months, then washed again a few times. That brine really sticks to the inside part of some lids, so just watch out for it.

If you have crippler weed in most jars, you're just gonna smell the crippler weed anyway, but why worry about some weird smell/taste tainting your er, cheese (buds)?

Also, the jars are leak proof, as you can obviously turn a jar of pickles with juice upside down or whatever without any liquid dripping out.

If it can seal out water, it can seal out air.

i wouldnt bother with pickle jars personally entirely too hard to get the smell out, and way too easy to pick up some proper jars..

Put them in 85% water 15% bleach. Let them sit for 24hrs. Wash them with plain water after. Smell gone. I prefer apple sauce jars. Plus the smell is cool.
