What jar size do you use for curing/storing?

What jar size do you use for curing/storing? and how many grams fit in it?
Would it be ok to throw a hygrometer and boveda 62% or 54% pack in the jar?
And how often do you burp the jar? and for how many minutes?
Thanks!

Was using various size glass jars... now I'm producing more I just use plastic tuns with sealed lids coz they are bigger and easier to access and rotate buds

Half gallon jars. I started using quart jars but 48 full jars later I now use half gallon jars, lol

Storage for long term i just vacuum seal it

Half gallon jars for storage, I keep a handful of the little dark brown jars yeast comes in and fill them up once a week or so with whatever varieties. Stuff that doesn't turn out or that I just don't like goes into gallon bags in the freezer for random science projects.

Spaghetti sauce jars for the mids!

Not sure on the jar size I think it’s half gal?

Holds 3-4oz of bud depending on density.

I like a bit of air space to give them a shake.

I open the lids once a day for 20-30 min for the first week. And shake a few times a day.
Then after that I only burp the jar if theystick together. In that case I dump them out on the counter for 20-30 min then put them back in.

I use to use 65% bovida packs (cheaper then the special 62% lol)

But I’ve got curing pretty figured now and haven’t used them in a while.

Am I the only one using food grade 5g buckets with gamma lids to seal?

Do you use the same spaghetti lids or use new ones?

Same. Its just for the spillover that's probably gonna wind up as edibles or hash. But if you have no proper jars on hand and are too lazy to get some, it'll do.

I just started using these. Only been about a week. Do you find they come out just as good as with glass?

If you can tolerate smaller jars, they are definitely better, simply because you have to open them less often to get at your stash. If you constantly open a big jar and thus expose your cured buds to fresh air, they are going to dry out and deteriorate faster than if you broke your stash up into more, smaller jars. It is irritating when you are still burping them though lol

Yes I agree
This is why I am using the 5g buckets for the first 2-4 weeks while I burp and do the important cure.
Then I think I plan on double vacuum sealing it all into smaller amounts with a bovada 62 pack in each bag.

Yeah my plan was 2 weeks in buckets and then into smaller jars for storage.
