Jar curing

Yeah, it's called a solution to a long used and proven method of curing with many flaws. Jars are a thing of the past. Get with the times.

Legalization has spurred many different industries in supporting cannabis as a whole. OTOH, this is nothing more than marketing at its best. Would you mind terribly explaining what this dude is doing with an SS can and a Boveda pack in the lid, that I can't do in a jar, at a fraction of the cost? Ooh, I forgot it has a convenient storage for the pack :)

Now... the freezer curing method has spiked my curiosity. I plan on curing this run that way. Required a "forst free" freezer.

Well it's common knowledge that light degrades THC, so if you're using jars, you should paint them black, or just stick to your sub par ancient jars, it's your life and your weed, I really could care less what you do or what you smoke or anything about you or your life. I am simply providing a solution. Take it or leave it, it seems like you'll leave it. Fine. Stay with your jars. I use them too at times, so no hate. And "that dude" is Steve Tuck. Do your research.

Don't you put your Jars back in the box they came from? In any case, it's nothing a can of Spray 'n Seal can't fix.

When something pisses me off, I go looking for a solution. Ever face 4 cases of jars to burp. Every fucking day for 3 to 4 fucking weeks? Fuck that shit.

This is the solution. I sell them to people who are too lazy to make their own. (Not the jars. Lol)

Curing a large amount of weed in jars is not very convenient. Jars are for storing the weed.

Jar cure is not for large crops. The boxes are perfect. I pop open all twelve and then vac em up.
This one is a real porn star.

I don't get it. Why vacuum. I have stored in jars for decades and always wondered what the advantage was to vacuum sealing it.

How about the 'fermenter' lids? Would that be something one would use for storing pot in glass jars?

Do you vac them for just curing, just storage... or both?

That's cool! Whatever floats your boat :) What was the title of the thread again?

Having a $30 SS container does not negate the need to burp them!

Oh boy... Chill Mr. Tetra, let's be friends. (passes over a lit fat spliff)

Like Mr. Ringodoggie said, what about those canning lids that self burp? They were his idea.

And for the OP, now that we are back to burping jars while the stuff cures. What is going on to make the gas presure???

Is it a partial decarb of THCa, or ???

Hmmm I'm getting negative pressure aka vacuum in my jars.
Everytime I open them there's some suction to the lid! Especially the ones with a two piece lid ( disk and ring) I have to pop the open and you can feel the vacuum

Ya, now I'm thinking it's just differences in atmospheric pressure between when the jar was sealed and when it was opened.

Curing and storage. It's like food. I think air is worse than light for storage. Don't know why light is bad either but it is.

For large batches.

Keeping oxygen away via a vacuum after the cure stops the trichomes from oxidizing (turning amber). It's why we vacuum pack in food saver bags.

You can buy weed sealed in cans where the air is replaced with Nitrogen. It's the cat's meow.

@0:49 when he peeled off the lid of that jar it sounded like a suction, but might have been stuck on. IMO that dope has finished curing and I have no idea what the stickiness is, except maybe a little oil is there making it sticky?

with tht pump and manifold he is adding room air to the process. I remove the lid and gently rotate the jars, now that I have them stuffed less tightly.

I love those bucket lids!!!

No need to paint the jar black, just leave the stuff in a dark place.
