Curing in Mason Jars with Tyvek?
Interesting idea, but what's wrong with curing in a glass jar the traditional way? Been working for generations just fine. I guess a few side-by-side's are the best way to assess the theory. :thumbsup:
Depending on the porosity of the Tyvek, and it's intended application...if the gas vapors can escape, I'd think the water vapors could, too. Would this dry the buds rather than cure them?
If the theory is that this keeps the moisture in, but gas escapes...I don't see a benefit to having to dick with the Tyvek, rather than opening the jars a couple of times a day. If not removing the humidity in the jar daily, you risk a very quick case of mold. And having to physically open the jars gives you an opportunity to inspect the buds anyway.
By the way...those Debbie Meyers green bags are an interesting concept too. (according to my wife, who bought some) Problem is...they don't work either in the fridge, or on the counter. But they are easier to spot in the fridge, lol. :jointsmile:Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Curing in Mason Jars with Tyvek? 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 Rating: 5
