Any airtight container will work, glass and metal being preferred. I use metal cookie tins, the large, round, flat tins that shortbread cookies come in. They hold a lot of buds on sticks, and are easily opened and inspected and aired out. Then they go into glass wide-mouth mason jars for storage.

HTH :mrgreen:

After its touch dry and just a little bit springy from hanging is when i put it in the jars,i also sweat mine first in plastic bags but this can cause mould if your not careful.
If you want the best bud then you have to sweat,dry and cure it for months simple as that:blsmoke:

Ive been told that paper bags absorb alot of the smell and flavor from the buds. I believe the same holds true for storing buds in refrigerator.

I know this thread is like 3 years old but its back at the top now so... lol. Can someone school me on this sweat curing? I get the basics but don't want to fuck up my crop. I live in Colorado, so drying down here is well.. a bitch. I don't have a proper drying room set up right now and think this method will help with the dry, hot weather we have out here. I can only hang my buds for 2 days before they go crispy, and I have to throw them in jars, in fear of them getting to dry. Or any other method that will leave me with sweet smelling, tasting buds that are sticky to the touch?

sweating makes pot smell like hay. I hang dry it to a crisp then put it all in a open box. I got the method from urban grower.

No, its all about "fermentation" and it is done to hemp since ever.
(Same thing Indian/Chinese/Arabs/Europeans do to tea, malt, hops or other consumed (treating) plants for thousands of years... look it up, its about getting rid of the chlorofill)

Its not myth, its also about chemistry: A-THC is collapsing when buds are drying fast and it transforms to cannabinol, which is making you lethargic... (Source: Jorge Servantes)

The First time I learned about sweating herb was in the early 90's on a trip to Humboldt county , That being said I think they did it to increase smell, flavor, smoothness of smoking and curing time. the way they did it was by putting it in a paper bag then rolling it tight then left it in there car with all the windows closed in the sun for about 6 hours, but you can also do this by putting it in a paper bag rolling it closed tight and then put it in a sealed container like a glass jar or plastic Tupperware leaving it in the sun all day either in your backyard, windowsill, ect.

Yea, leave fresh product under the sun in a closed container. Un-fucking-believable.

Advice to everyone. Hang for 6 days and when u think its dry. Chop off stalk. But in jars or container for 4 hours to sweat and then put on screens to dry. Repeat if needed. Takes about a week to dry properly.
