OK for a storage jar maybe to show off your finely manicured and well cured final buds but not so good for a cure jar.
When buds first go into jars for curing they should be still moist enough that they will form one solid mass after a day locked up. Even Mason jars have to restrictive a shoulder for the mass to slide out without shaking the jar or poking the buds to get them out so you can bust up the clumps. Not the gentle treatment I use on my buds.
I use plastic tobacco cans to do my final cure/burping. Food grade and slick, smooth insides so it slides right out. Drill holes in the bottom to make great plant pots or even DIY net pots for DWC,
Here's a 2L one 3/4 full of well cured bud.
And others growing plants.
Cool bottles tho and I'm all over that kind of thing.

Those look great for curing and storing!
Where do you get your plastic tobacco cans? do you purchase new or pickup from a tobacco shop etc?
thanks
