Plastics don't leave a flattering taste

Plastic is fine....i cure in dog food containers. Once u graduate from growin in ur grandmas closet u gotta find a more cost effective and efficient solution. Very few ppl who harvests
multiple pounds uses glass jars. Think of the time it takes to open and close em on a daily basis. Not to mention the amount of nars u need on hand.

Plastic should be fine I’ve personally noticed the stuff I let sit in plastic prescription bottles always ends up the most even cured but that is small amounts. Still plastic. Not 100% airtight either. Whole thing is drying it slow enough and long enough before ever hitting containers.

Congrats on harvest! Suggest cutting late at night or after 24 hours of darkness. Hang the plants in darkness til a branch has a little snap in it, 3-7 days. Trim wet or dry, i trim after hanging. Plastic is evil but it works as well as glass imo. Try one plant first, no sense risking it all to mold.

65 % humidity 65 degrees 10-14 days hanging, then on to plastic bins. I use the 27 gallon totes from home Depot

Realy hang that long

 

[Nastyboy3609]

Hang for that long realy I guess at that high of humidity it would dry slower

No never used plastic, hang you plants upside down until your branches almost but dont snap, prune your flower, at this point i put my weed in a paper bag for 24 hours, then into mason jars, burp your jars 2 or 3 times a day, go to your hydroponic store and buy some humidity chips dont want to over dry, the longer your weed stays in the jar the better it gets.

Yes, you want a long dry. If it’s crispy in 4 days, something went wrong. You will never get that cut grass smell out. I personally like about a 10 day dry at around 65*F and 60% RH. Then I cure in the jars for at least 2 weeks, but longer is better.

Yeah that long. CURE is alot about being slow. cure to fast to high of heat your herb tatstes like hay. Everyone rushes this process and I feel it's the most important part.
