curing question for anyones opinion

[buckyboy]

Can you cure your buds in plastis containers with lids? They are air tight. Or is it best to use glass jars? I dont want to buy jars if you can. Only have a couple of jelly jars and its about harvest time.

Since nobody responded, I'll take that as a yes.

yes others will say glass it dont matter ive used both

can you hang them anywhere?
if so then this is your best option.
hang in a cool dry place until dry, this will promote slow even drying and curing, and will give you the best possible smoke. just cut the plants down, & hang em, do not remove any leaves, they are needed during drying phase.

Yeah, I plan on hanging them in the closet for a week or 2 and then curing for 1 month. Suspectelite, you are the only person that has told me to leave the leaves on while hanging. Everywhere I've read has said to remove the fan leaves, Hang to dry, and then trim and cure. I have 5 plants, maybe I will try a couple of them your way. What you think?

im gonna leave all the leaves on this year.

if you let the buds dry for a week or two then theres no need to store them in jars afterwards correct? all you have to do is hang em, wait 2 weeks, and smoke?

[buckyboy]

I was told if you jar them for 2 to 4 weeks they taste a whole lot better, but I dont know for sure because this is only my second grow. I only had 1 plant last year and I hung it for a week and then smoked it, but I only ended up wit a 1/2 ounce so curing was not an option.

putting in jars to CURE will make smoke better-the time in jars - venting as recommended will remove all chlorophyl
and ammonia making a much mellower tasting smoke- if you leave the leaves on while drying this will protect the trichromes but it is easier to trim while still wet

[buckyboy]

Clovisman, do you recommend leaving the fan leaves on?
