Can i use a plastic thign instead of a jar?

Hey everyone, I'm not at the point to harvest yet but i was just wondering for when i do get there.. Can i use one of those plastic rubbermaid things instead of a mason jar to cure it?

Yes. Curing doesn't require an air-tight container and it works best to cure a fairly large amount at a time.

Okay greattt! It won't make the bud taste different though will it?

Well, if the container you bought has a smell to it, that smell can be transferred to the buds. Some plastics, especially newly-made ones, may still be in part of their curing process, releasing small amounts of gasses into the air. Some plastics are better than others. Some are even chemical-grade and used in laboratories. Smell the containers you have to choose from and avoid those that have any smell. They should be washed well before using, and that can get rid of some lingering factory smell. Mild heat can also encourage gasses trapped in the plastic to escape.

I've found in some non-airtight containers my buds dry out totally quite quickly and turn to dust when you try to break them up. I guess if youve got perfect humidity in the curing area its alright. Dont pack it too full either. I like re-sealable the bags that my tobacco comes in myself. your idea probally will work, just watch the buds.
