Paper bags are used commonly as well, though I do agree with you a jar might be better. I am dealing with a relatively large quantity (hopefully!) and jars is a bit less practicle than laying the bag down on it's long side (big grocery bag, not the lunch bag type) and putting an inch or two of buds in there. This way there's not heavy weight on any given nugget, and not too much moisture in any given spot. Ya dig?

I trimmed off larger fan leaves before they were hung, and just took a peek to go in there. Decided to try to start trimming some of it, and I felt like it was a tad too dry, that I was almost ripping the leaves out rather than a nice cut. Now, they have been in there almost three days, I am curious when they should be put into the paper bags. What things do I look for in it to know it's ready Rating: 5
