lmfao(not laughing at you by any means) people around here prefer the smashed buds vs nice fluffy nuggs as long as it has no seeds and smells dank...they think its garbage if its nice and fluffy...luckily my friends understand the difference....gotta love how some people dont even know how real herb is supposed to look guess they think it grows all flattened out(i proved this before gave a friend 2 different 1 gram bags of herb one was damp and flat stuffed into a tiny zip bag other was nice dried and not crammed into the bag....someone wanted some herb they had a choice...guess what one they picked first...the smashed up damp bud stuffed in a bag vs the better quality perfectly dried non smashed up bud)...only did this to prove a point...i laughed so hard...yet angered me because i cant believe how stupid some people really are....quality. quality. quality. who wants smashed buds ? people want nice, live looking nugs. the jarring period is reverese osmosis, doing it in a bag would not be nearly as effective.
Yeah, curing in bags doesn't really work very well, I've tried vacuum bags too, all that happens is the weed comes out exactly as it went it, zero difference after months.
Cure in glass, burp daily, and 2-4 weeks later you can do whatever you want with it.
I cure in 18 gallon rubbermaid tubs, works well for bigger harvests.
and the thc dont fall off trichomes do.....dunno why people call trichomes thc when thc is encapsulated inside the trichome gland itself...use jars to cure...dunno why you would want to use plastic which leaks air.....and who disposes of glass jars called reuse them no use in throwing away perfectly good jars
If you don't have jars, use plastic bags. It doesn't matter. All the naysayers probably haven't tried it. Closing the herb up in a jar or bag is just for getting the moisture to distribute evenly. You don't need it to be air tight. The key to using bags is to stick it in a warm place for a few hours.Warm, not HOT. Lost trichomes?? There are plenty of trich's inside the buds, I wouldn't worry about a few thousand getting stuck to a bag.Every grower on this site has their own way of doing things, take all this advice with a grain of salt and try things out for yourself.
To finish, most people wouldn't know good bud if you slapped them with it.
