LOL! If that's so then everyone in this forum saying they harvested something but no pics are lying, or is t because u think 19lbs is impossible for someone w low "experience points" in these forums?
As for the curing, get largest air tight glass jars and enough of them, they are cheap at IKEA and I bet they have them cheap at Wal Mart or something...

I too have a lot of bud to trim each month, I do a large perpetual grow and trim 10 to 20 lbs of wet bud ea month. I came up with this little gadget to help me out. Click on the youtube link in my signature.
As for curing, I am a total believer in glass only not plastic. I use 2 and 4 qt air tight jars I get at Walmart

Im wondering if you can use a vacuum sealer to create the "airtight" seal you need... It would be awesome cause you can custom make the size bag you'd use...
Only problem I see is crushing the bud when vac sealing. But you can always vacuum seal it to the point where it doesnt crush anything, just suck out enough air to cure, make the bag extra long and just cut to open to burp, then reseal.
I highly doubt the plastic would give it any different taste too.

Hopefully it will be the last day trimming and i have been working 18 hour days on and off cant wait to relax
-Nice little gadget you came up with there is always room for improvement on everything great mod!!
-PANGcake there are always people that are like that if you just ignore them they will go away! i am going to check into the walmart glass and maybe check them out on the ikea website.
-"Vacuum seal them" when curing you need to burp the container unless you want to vacu um seal everyday

I use these, the big ones are great but for 19 pounds there's just no way you'd really want to handle that many jars.
They are prety cheap in my opinionBiggest one of my jars is half a gallon and cost 2,50$ at IKEA.

Put them in those large plastic ziplock bags, 4 gallons? Sweat them as you see fit. Personally I wouldn't bother curing them. Let the customer do that.

Everything should be dried by next tuesday and ready to go into cure for about a week
-I try to let them cure for about a week it makes a little difference in smell, taste, and appearance. Its important to me that the product looks, tastes, and smells great.

I will do a write up on which "cure box" i think works the best (IMO) i am going to be using as suggested
-5gallon buckets with rubber seal tight on lid
-120gallon fish tank with sealed top
-1gallon glass wal-mart jars
-ANY other suggestions.... i am open to trying them all
