I reuse glass jam jars, pickle jars, olive jars, etc.... Basically free, I just put them in the dish washer before using them(not the lids! the detergent/heat can damage the rubber seal, hand wash only). I have a huge collection now of all sizes.
In a dark cool(around 60-70F) place. A cookie sheet would work. I'm not talking about quick drying. I don't recommend quick drying for anything other than sampling a taste.
You could put it in the oven, as long as it's off and stays off. It's a fairly sanitized place, considering the extreme...
Tin will, but not all 'tins' are made from Sn(tin).
You can wrap a sandwich in actual tin foil in the morning, and by lunchtime the sandwich will have a tinny taste.
It's harder to notice in sweets than it is in more bland foods like breads, crackers, etc.

An eighth to a quarter oz a week depending on various factors(sometimes one bowl at the end of the day, or blaze all day on the weekends). Then I often go weeks to months without smoking any. Kind of like alcohol. I usually drink(beer or bourbon)/smoke together.
It's an almost negligible difference if grown correctly, but alas, MH can maximally achieve 90-95% of what HPS will when both are used properly in flowering.
The quality of light from MH surpasses HPS, the intensity of HPS far surpasses MH. :peace:
Your drying time will be longer in a closed up environment like inside a cupboard.
A little leaf doesn't really affect the smoke, cured properly even leaf is smooth and mellow.
Just take it out of the bag and put them on metal trays, or cardboard or plastic lined with aluminum foil(most...
Stunted growth is the first sign, though stunted growth can be caused by numerous factors. Eventually the leaves will wither and die due to suffocation. It's basically an 'all over' effect, quite rare.
