bad to dry in jar??

[cAnnAmAn12]

ok, i just plucked my plant and was wondering if i could dry my bud in a jar instead of hanging it. I cant hang it because its just too damn stinky and i cant have anybody finding it. so would it be bad to just seal it up now in a jar now?
advise would be greatly appreciated!

I believe that's fine...as long as you do one thing:
make sure to periodically (once or twice a day) open the lid of the jars for several minutes to let the moisture escape...Since you are skipping the hanging process, you are gonna have a lot of moisture coming out of those buds in the glass jars.

how long do you think i should keep it in there?

no the bud needs to dry before you seal it up in a container.

You're really going to need to hang it for a week before you start putting it in containers. Otherwise you're going to end up with moldy weed. You can always build a small drying box with a small carbon scrubber hooked up to it.

yeah, both SouthernGuerilla and killerweed420 are right, you can't just toss
them in jars, even if you open them up every now and then.

what you can do is to put them in brown paper shopping bags, that
should breath enough to let the buds dry and still be enclosed enough
to contain most of the odor, lol, maybe.

better the smell than moldy bud after all your labor

never heard of bud too sticky to hang...what's up with that? just string up a couple lines as you would a clothesline and hang them by the branches (a wire clothes hanger works well enough for smaller amounts). depending on your ambient humidity, it should only take 2-5 days to get the outer edges 'crispy' feeling while the interior is still soft from moisture (iow, the branches bend easily but barely break with little pressure while the exterior of the flowers are dry.)...then they can go into jars or whatever you plan to use for curing. curing takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks, or longer if you're in an especially humid area. it's not necessary but if you do you'll have a product that stores longer and doesn't taste 'green'.
