Jars

I bought a quarter ounce of dank and I put it in a mason jar because I'm storing it for two weeks until my girlfriend comes back from Japan. The quarter ounce only takes up like 1/10th of the jar, and I'm storing it in the back of a black cabinet. Does the jar to quantity ratio make a difference? Will my buds still be good after two weeks?

No worries! Just keep it in a cool dark place, burp it every few days, and you'll be fine.[/quote]

Aha, thanks so the weed/jar space ratio doesn't matter?

 

Bumppppp

Also, how exactly should you burp? I've tried searching this but nobody says HOW

Do people that post stuff like this just look for stuff to worry about? Really?

Well I'm sorry I don't want my bud going bad.... And this is my first experience with jars so I think I am entitled to some questions, especially because I couldn't FIND the answers. (I looked, not very well, but I looked.)

They'll probably still be good after two months.

Maybe when considering long term degradation of THC as result of oxidation, but how frequently you open the jar is the main factor that determines how quickly this process occurs.

This won't really do anything but dry out your buds more. Most likely, they have been harvested from the plant over a month before you got them and curing them won't really be feasible at this point. You won't improve the smoothness of the smoke and definitely won't improve the taste (you'll probably adulterate it because of oxidation).

Do people post stuff like this to derail the focus of the thread and act like questions aren't meant to be asked in Tokers Q&A?

Thank you very much, sir and thanks to everybody else

 

Idk but my buds got a little dry so I put a little piece of lettuce in there

 

[quote name='"h0lykn1ght"']as long as the buds aren't moist, it should be dry enough to be stored in air-tight containers like mason jars for long periods without worrying about mold. just like walterbishop said, u should be good with just burping it every now and then AKA just opening the jar lid for a few minutes every few days to give it some air. ideally, u dont want the buds to be too dry or else they'll just collapse on u. good job with the lettuce. i think ur good.

Haha thanks It wetted up nicely, almost perfectly so I switched out the lettuce for a tiny piece of strawberry and now it's perfectly sticky xD

I don't think a bud can reach a point where it is '100% cured', the longer it cures the better it will be cured.

You have to find the curing sweet spot. Leave them long enough that they cure well, but not too long that it is an unreasonable wait.

OP's question: a jar that is proportional to the size or amount of bud you have in the jar is recommended but it's not gonna hurt your bud haha.

You don't need to burp it since there is a lot of air in the jar already and you don't have much bud. burping is mainly for curing a grow when you'd typically have buds stacked to the top of the jar. burping it is just opening the jar and getting new fresh air into the jar and the old air out, just circulate things a bit, very easy. you will be burping it everytime you open it to smoke.

Thanks
My buds have been drying out in the jar for some reason so I put them in a ziplock bag in the jar. Would it be better to just put the jar in a ziplock bag? Lol
