Keeping 2 strains in same jar.

Discussion in 'Cannabis Stash Showcase & Strain Photos' started by IzZ Tip C, Nov 5, 2010.

  1. I got a quad total. An 8th of sour d and I'm about to go buy another 8th of purple kush. I don't wanna fuck with the taste of either or anything but I only have one jar and I don't like keeping my shit in bags. Anybody else ever store 2 diff strains together?
     
  2. Oh yeah, I keep certain jars reserved for higher-end buds, then i have those little plastic med capsules that you pick up at the collectives.

    I doubt that taste will really be affected at all, usually the jar ends smelling a lot danker, but once I take out a certain bud, I can tell the nug hasn't really changed in smell or taste.
     
  3. You'll be fine, it doesn't matter if you got different buds. Unless of course you can't tell which is which but if you can't tell difference between sour and purps that would be pretty fail haha.
     
  4. two great strains man enjoy
     
  5. dont matter, do it all the time, enjoy that smoke
     
  6. yeah it's fine unless you want to tell which strain you're smoking.
     
  7. go pick up some small jars of baby food (Gerber, etc).
    They're like 40 cents each, small. air-tight and the lids burp nicely.
    that way you can have your own little "dispensery display".
     

  8. I'm on it
     
  9. cool. lets see some pix;)
     
  10. Dude I picked up like 4-5 see-thru glass "herb" shaker jars at fred meyer's. They are all glass, they fit about 1/8th - 8th and a half, and they only cost a buck...money!
     
  11. Crate and Barrel ( I guess a lot of dudes wouldn't find themselves in a CnB any time soon but STILL...just putting it out there...) also carries nice little clear herb jars for about a dollar that I usually fit an 1/8 and a half in myself...I have this one jar that's been filled with two different strains and then I found one small nug of blue dream that I overlooked on the bottom...I took it out and it's fruity smell is stronger than before and it's definitely a distinctly different smell from the rest of the stuff in the jar.

    BUT I do like the gerber jar idea too...just to be able to show off my different strains.
     
  12. i pay like 5 bucks for 12 quart jars at walmart.
    go getcha some
     
  13. wtf are these people talking about hell yah it will make that shit taste exactley the same and smell the same. which ever bud has the stronger smell thats what both of them are about to smell like if you mix.

    i like to taste the differences in each strtain, not just boring bland mixof both
     
  14. we're talking about jars.:)
     
  15. If you really don't want one strain to alter another strains flavor, you should really store them in separate jars, if that's
    what you're asking.
    This is coming from a few decades curing experience; you put two strains in the same jar, and eventually neither tastes
    like the individual strain should, when stored separately.

    That's also if you plan on storing them for longer than a couple days, if you plan on just killing the whole shebang in
    under a week, I wouldn't worry about it.
     
  16. If I had a lot of strains, I'd mix them up on one giant jar. Then when I'm in the mood, grab a nug from the mix for a surprise/mystery smoke.
     
  17. I've stored 15 strains in the same jar for 6 months, they still had their unique taste.
     
  18. I find that hard to believe, and on top of that, after 3 months unless it's stored in lower temps and the jar is literally -never- opened, the bud itself begins to drastically deteriorate in quality.

    I've been doing this for a few decades now with some of the same strains and clone-only's. If you continuously grow the same strains, you come to recognize their flavors and how they taste at any given stage of the cure, and if you happen to grow enough that you eventually store some buds together, for eventual mixed-smoking, and others for longer-term storage individually, you absolutely notice that it drastically changes the flavor of the resulting smoke from what it otherwise would have been.

    For longer term storage, if you're trying to preserve the integrity of the smoke, it's widely known that it's best to store only individual strains together.

    Simple science teaches you that the contents of any environment is in a constant struggle to equalize. Don't you hate it when the bread in your fridge smells like the cheese or fish next to it? Why do you think decent head shops refuse to put incense in the same bag as your joint papers?
    Because smells transfer, mingle, and eventually become confused, and you don't want one thing tasting or smelling like another. Understand?
     
  19. Interesting question, so there´s no way that if you placed a skunk nug with a less potent smelling nug, say ak47, the odor of the skunk won´t overtake the ak47.

    If it´s like storing coffee or tea, you wouldn´t want to mix it, just to keep taste intact.
