Cure, and harvest storage. What do you use?

I am planning on using glass canning jars to cure in. (pints? quarts?)
But i was thinking what is the best place to store glass canning jars full of curing, or already cured herb?
(probably in the the grow room somewhere to take advantage of negative pressure, and smell prevention)

I got a little idealistic, and started thinking a nice cedar chest/box would be cool. maybe it would help fight the smell a little. and it would be somewhat classy. but a cedar chest would easily cost $150 - $300. which sounds a little over kill, for something never seen by anyone, and probably take up too much space.
Then i started thinking either metal, or plastic ammo cans that you can find online. they have a rubber gasket, so that they are water tight. but i dont know if they are the right size for canning jars. it would suck to only be able to fit a couple per can, and have a lot of wasted space.

I am thinking the most practical, might just be some cheap plastic trunk, or storage bin. maybe like the smart bins, or tough containers some people use for reservoirs.

Ideally it would be lockable, also have somewhat of a seal, to keep the smell in.

what do you all use?

is there anything pefectly suitable for the job?

the only thing you need to do is buy a case of quart mason jars. no one cures in plastic, and especially never use something like cedar unless you want to taste that shit in your weed. glass jars, stored in the dark.

there is zero benefit from getting overly cutsy with this. metal will rust, plastic ammo will taste like brass. just get the glass ones from any grocery store, that's what we all use.

enjoy your nugs.

Ironic you bring this topic up ,because was thinking the same thing for the last 2 days now, and this morning it hit me as to what im going to use and do a little DIY on , My wine cooler , its sealed , there designed to lay the glass jars down for low light pennatraition, temp control from 50 deg to 70 deg ,


The only thing is humidity level will most likly be to low ,So i am going to get a small plastic bin that I can fit a mop sponge head in soak it with water, cut a hole in the top,attach a cp fan , cut a air intake hole in the side (rite above the sponge) and plug the fan in to a min timer, and add a humidity therm to monitor, and adjust the fan off and on cycle to dial in the humidity level , If that works Im good to go.


if it dose not let me dial the humidity in correctly I will the go to my local scrap yard obtain a old a/c window unit and salvage the thermostat from that then wire it in to the pc fan ,theoreticly this should give me very good humidity control.

I don't understand the problem, once the mason jar is closed I've never noticed any smell eminating from them, I just keep the jars in a small dark closed off closet.

I have 20 jars of bud in mason jars, in my kitchen. Nobody smells a thing.

Let me clarify.
i understand the mason jars are pretty good with keeping smell and humidity in.

but i don't want light to get to them. and i want to be able to store the mason jars some how.
and i think being able to lock them in a container, and also keep them away from light would be a good thing.

so i guess what i am asking, is what is the best way to store your mason jars?

In boxes? I use rubber maid containers...

hey check it out. i found these.
what do you guys think?

I use regular one quart mason jars from walmart. Be sure to give them a good hot water soap wash and dry before use (even though new, they have a weird smell at first). Just store them on a dark place. I suppose painting them black would work if light really concerns you that much. I like to see how mich green is in there though.

couldn't imagine painting my mason jars, the content is just so damn pretty.

They should be curing after they are properly dried. The smell is going to be an issue during drying more than at curing. Once they are ready to go in jars, just put them in a cool dark place and only open them to adjust humidity during the curing process.
