I have started another hobby that uses Tyvek. Tyvek is a plastic material that you can find everywhere. One of the most common places is Fedex. Their envelopes are made out of Tyvek. Tyvek is also a Vapor barrier used in houses and I think you can even get suits for painting or something made out of tyvek.

Anyway Tyvek allows for gas exchange while at the same time keeping out contaminants that would allow conditions for mold or other things to spawn. From what I understand Tyvek does not allow for fresh air exchange but will outgas things such as CO2 and whatever gas is made when the plants are breaking down chlorophyll. I am using this for my other hobby specifically for these properties.


Would it be beneficial to sterilize the jars; place the buds (properly dried) in the jar, and then place a tyvek filter over the mason jar with the ring and not the lid?

My thought is that this would allow the Jars to outgas whatever builds up in the jar; prevents fresh air from getting inside which will keep the buds at the proper moisture level and it will be a deterrent to mold. The best part of this; is that in theory, you would never have to open the jars unless you had some condensation building up on the glass. Due to the lack of fresh air coming into the jars you would also be helping to create an anaerobic environment to help break down chloryphyll faster/better.

Again this is all in theory. Does anyone have any experience with this or any input on the use of Tyvek in curing?
