I will gleefully call this the I think I can phrase. Everything in the garden seems to be weeks to a month behind schedule this year. Already had 2 frosts at the garden….. we shall see

Just looking at your plants makes me feel 10° cooler! The man from green! Green on green! Crunch time!

Cure jar was pretty stable for awhile but now I open it it goes down pretty fast and close it and it creeps up pretty fast

If you are going to continue this hobby next season I still really recommend you look into GroveBags for your curing. It will take much of the headache and worry away as they don’t need to be burped and have a humidity liner inside the bags.

They are relatively cheap especially if your local hydro shops carry them. My shop sells out of them soon as they come in like clock work. You can get LB bags for $2.50 or oz bags for like $1. They take up less room than jars and are no where near the price of jars also you don’t need to go buying expensive bodevas or even bother with hydrometers.

Many commercial grows are using these as it saves them a ton of time and actually give your plants a close to perfect cure.

I’ll never use jars again long as that company is still producing the bags. Went from using 50 jars to using a handful of bags.

They make 5/10lb bags aswell but if you need a real large cure bag they make liners that you can throw into a tote and just fill it. Most of the large corporate grows I know are using those liners to cure 30lbs+ at a time.

Well, I’m not rolling that large, but a 5-10lb bag would be perfect. Thanks for the good word man. I’ll check them out!

It really is like that just throw it in the bag and forget about it for a month.

You just don’t want to be opening them up everyday it takes 48 hours for the terploc to set in then it’s off to the races.

I personally heat seal mine and they don’t get touched for a month to let the cure do it’s thing. I haven’t had a bad cure come out of those bags yet where compared to when I was starting with jars I was having hay fever.

I recommend calling some hydro shops and asking if they carry them before ordering online as the shipping cost is actually more than you’ll pay for the bags themselves.

i’ve heard the opposite that they are garbage..
i wouldn’t use bags of any kind.. jars or food grade pails for me..

I generally use a sterilite container with a gasket and a hygrometer placed in the lid. Works wonderful. Keeps jar numbers down and they are stackable too. I’m definitely one of those if it ain’t broke don’t fix it dudes, I have heard some ok things about them, but the capacity people were using them in, waaaaay smaller of an application than I could use. I haven’t heard one way or the other about larger bags save @Learningdetroit tonight. I’m def a little skeptical, but I’m always willing to give something a shot once just to see. Not so sure if I am or would in this case. I’ve kinda been doing it the same way for decades…..

Everyone has they own way of doing things, some people just don’t like switching from something they’ve been doing for years.

However the product truly is a blessing for new growers and people that don’t have time to worry about burping and checking in on multiple separate jars.

Here’s a pretty large thread most of the people that posted about actually using them had been positive.

Grove Bags Yes? No? Why?

What’s your opinion on Grove Bags? I’m using half gallon jars and quickly running out of storage space. Tell me about your experience with these and how I can best use them to cure and store. Thanks! 🙂

I’ll just say I wouldn’t knock it till you try it a lot of your bud you would get from dispos has been cured in these bags it’s nearly a industry standard here in Michigan at this point at least with the farms I have talked to.

no friends have used them and we’re loving them than all of them quit using them shortly after, saying it wasn’t curing properly etc and apparently the bags were basically destroying trichomes with handling..
we’re hashish makers so ever head counts!.. haha..

yes lots of dispo weed growers use these bags as an easy option for curing and for easy displaying at dispo’s..
they also use weed trimmers which only destroys trichomes to speed up the process..
all junk methods to take your money..

I will admit that yes they do kind of tend to compress buds but that seems like a handling issue more than anything. People like to squeeze and tumble the bags they’re not as protective as a jar.

I also know that they had an issue with production on some oz bags that did lead to some failed cures but as far as I know the company addressed and fixed that.

I personally haven’t had a bad cure come out of them with my autoflowers the last few years but if I do have a problem this year I’ll definitely let people know.

I also use a bowl trimmer for all of my plants I’m not sitting in trim jail for months to trim 8lbs when I can run it wet through the bowl and then hand trim the remaining. If your wet trimming youre not going to lose as much tris as you’d believe I seen some experiments about this I’ll have to find them to post. Dry trimming with a bowl or tumbler is another story.

It’s still up to everyone’s preference I’m sure people can find things to shit on with the hand trim/Manson jar process just as others do with grovebags and trimming equipment.
