no offense but isnt a sealed jar as good as vacuum sealed bag? Please correct me if Im wrong. Im trying to decide whether to go buy jars or a sealer....thanks..But Im thinking a sealed bag is going to smash buds all into a brick.

In the purest sense, plastic bags are made out of chemicals and have that plastic bag smell. Clean glass has no smell. I have seen videos of large commercial growers curing in black trash bags. It works but IMHO, it is not as "fresh" as being cured in glass.
Before glass soda pop bottles were banned here, I could tell the difference between soda pop from a plastic bottle, a can, and a glass bottle. The glass bottle soda always had a better taste...again, IMHO.

The heat wouldn't re-moisten the contents? Sorry if "dumb" question....still a learning newbie :)
Also..what's the shelf life difference, if any,between just hand tightening and boiling?

Thanks!

i have done it for many things and no moisture got in but i never fiound the need to seal weed up like that...but im sure it b ight just try it with a gram or less and see what happens see if it gets alot of moisture or not but it should be fine...not sure on the life but def. longer than the vacuum seal bags...after a while weed penetrates through plastic cells but its alot harder for that to happen with glass

From a vegetable caner, what I think was meant is a "loose" lid jar boiled and then sealed will vacuum seal when it cools down. Heated air/moisture expands. With the lid loose the pressure escapes, then you seal the lid and take the heat away. When the air/moisture in the jar cools, it contracts and makes a vacuum...and when your listening to your canned tomatoes cool, the hear the "snap" of the jar lids getting sucked down. A sealed cold jar heated could explode.

I think you have mastered what most have to have the crutches of a lighted 20-30x magnifier from radio shack ( no I don't work for them, lol ) and a humidistat you can get from lowes or hempdepot.
That's way mighty! You say you are growing trees? KFB? then I'll stay in touch!
