Storage Terp Bags or Mason Jars for curing and storing?

[RootFarmer]

I cure/store in Grove bags and then transfer what I need for everyday use to jars.

Happy New Years Growers,

I’ve been using mason jars with Boveda 62% packs for curing and storing cannabis, and I’ve been happy with the results. However, I’ve noticed that storage Terp Bags seem like a more cost-effective solution. My concern with the Terp Bags is that the seal may not be as airtight as a mason jar, which could lead to faster degradation of the cannabis quality.

Do you have any advice or suggestions regarding using mason jars versus Terp Bags for long-term storage?

Thanks,
BC

I had posed my problem to the group a short time ago. I was having a problem with the hay smell in the mason jars after I dried them. Somebody suggested the Grove bags. Now on my third grow, I'm just using Grove bags for about four or five weeks. I put them in a dark place and the result has been fantastic.

I use generic Grove bags off Amazon, after putting my dried buds in there, I heat seal the bags as recommended and let them sit for a month. Works great and I have no complaints.

What is a terp bag? You mean one of those terpinolene-infused humidity bags?

You know terpenes taste like shit, right? Myrcene, pinene all that shit is disgusting and has nothing to do with weed. Everyone knows to hate botanical terps. Well, those are terps... All terps are botanical terps. They suck.

You're probably not talking about that shit. Who knows. No one knows what you're talking about. Except maybe the people who dedicate their brain cell to keeping up with brand names of overpriced rebranded crap and brainrot lingo?


Curing and storage are 2 distinct things. Curing is oxidation of carboxylic acids, by definition, it needs oxygen. Grove is 2% O2. Once the shit is cured... Guess what.. You don't need of want a 2% O2 barrier anymore.

The manufacture should be able to answer your questions, if a product exists. If they can't, move along. They don't want your business.

The fact is, it took me 30 seconds to find the specs and manufacturer for Grove bags, and they think this is earning them business in the short term by forcing people to come ask grow forums questions when they could have easily printed it on their website.

All it's doing is making commercial producers say "fuck these people, modified atmosphere packaging is not an expensive stoner product"

What are you rambling on about? These curing bags have been a game changer. Dry your buds, throw them in there and seal, come back a month later and they are good to go!

I cure and store in grove bags and keep them in a cabinet not heat sealed After cure I pull a few grams once or twice a month and put them in air tight color coded containers next to the recliner for easy access. Grove suggests not using humidity packs in the bag. They say that the best way of hydrating is to put a green leaf in the bag from your garden. They say their bags keep product fresh for a year with bags not heat sealed and mine doesn’t last a full year between grows so I don’t bother transferring.

After watching videos I decided that I’m never going to be a breeder. My way of making my favorite hybrids is to keep about five strains to sample. Last night I tried 75% Blue Dream with 25% Trainwreck mixed in the grinder and liked it. Later in the evening White Widow XXL crossed with Rum Dosidub put me out for the night. Mine is a pretty good system but I am a retired medical grower so I have all day to work on the garden. My weed goes from my garden in the storage room to the family room where it is vaped and AVB stored for edibles.

Flavor and smoothness improved when I stopped using salt based liquid nutes and top dressing with organic. Comes out pretty good right from the drying tent. There are a million ways to do this and a person needs to find what works best for their personal routine.

I bought a ton of wide mouth mason jars, but without fail I forget to reseal the jars when burping and then ruin the cure process. Grove bags for me all day. I put a hygrometer in with my bud and it stays 60% but you have to heat seal the top of the bag, I just fold over right above the ziplock and use a lighter to heat it and press it sealed. Has stayed right at 60% for over a month now…
