my stash box is a glass jar, always will be. I believe it keeps your greens fresher and its non-porous so you dont lose anything to your box.

as far as first time growing, I highly recommend going to your local book store and buy the cannabis grow bible and read it twice. it will answer many of your ?'s. theres even a section on gorilla growing.

hope that helps:thumbsup:
