Storage? 10 + oz's

I was told glass air tight jars or just air tight bags

what's the best?

Also you're supposed to open the jar/bag every 12 hours?

Cheers

glass jars hands down.

If the herb is already dried and cured then you don't really need to open it, unless you want to smoke it!

yeah glass jars all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys, looks like im buying myself some glass jars lol

defo glass jars, and congrats on 10 oz + how many plants was that from if you dont mind me asking

Three plants

There's around 25 days left but everyone has estimated around 3 oz's per plant which is obviously 9oz's

Grew with dual spectrum cfls, 300 watt, 3 lights, first 2 months of growing were with really bad lights.. 3 Months Veg, Put in Flower at the 1st of January..

Sp32,

Glass jars definitely and stored in a dark place. And the main reason for opening them up every day for the first 2 weeks you have the pot in them (and giving it a feel and a sniff) is to make sure you had it dry enough that it doesn't get moldy on you.

You'll be surprised how what you thought was dried weed will moisten back up after putting it in a jar. That's because there was still moisture deeper down in the bud and it's migrating to the surface. In fact for the first couple of days you just might want to leave the jar open for an hour or so each day. I once had some get moldy on me because I wasn't paying close enough attention to it at this point.

And (especially at first) I wouldn't put to much in each jar. Leave it in there kind of loose. Once two weeks goes by and you're sure it's dry then you can double the amount each jar holds. I find a 67 oz. jar ($3.50 at Wall Mart) comfortably holds 2 oz. for long term storage. All though for the first 2 weeks I'd only keep about 1 oz. in it.

Now for the bad news...... If you're expecting to get 3 oz. of dried weed off of each of those plants I think you're setting your self up for some serious disappointment. My guess is that if you get 1 oz. (dried) off of each plant you'll be doing good.

I hope I'm wrong about that. It's just that I've disappointed myself so many times over thinking I was going to get way more than I actually got that I'd hate to see you do the same thing to your self. That whole "don't count your peeps until the rooster has actually fucked the chicken" thing applies here.

truthfully i like turkey bags.. two to be exact one wrapped in the other. Jars after a few months seem to change the flavor and smell of the bud for the worst.. but that's just me

got to be ware of the mold

Glass jars, definitely.

And not to bust your bubble, but you'll probably end up with a yield more like 5-6 O's dry.

Good luck.

5 - 6 would be a dissapointment, this weed is going out and it's more than likely going out wet, I just wanted storage for around a week depending on how fast it goes

If you store wet weed in an air tight jars, it's going to mold and be worthless. You'll lose the whole harvest.

Yes, if you weighed your harvest wet, it probably will be 10+ Oz's.

Why don't you dry your weed for that week instead of trying to store it wet?

Yeah that's probably a lot better of an idea and if theres any left over I can just store it in a jar.. Cheers

awesome antique looking medicine jars that i "do" myself.

I like the tin cans w/ a lid like you get Xmas cookies in.the best are ones about 9-10 inches across & 3-7 inches deep. its easier to get in/out w/ the wide mouth & they are lightproof so your storage place just needs to be cool.

newer/better pictures below

Those are not 3 ounce plants.

You will be lucky to get 1 per.

Pretty confident I have more than an ounce already per plant and still around 4 weeks left... Maybe you just can't tell from the pics or you are one of those people who post lots and lots but have never grown? I'll post once they have been cropped how much their weight is

Sp32 your lose 70-80% once dried

i think your be wishing for those 3 ounce per plant
