I just saw this commercial for some bags called 'green bags', they supposedly prevent fruit from rotting by removing some chemical i forgot and " Controls humidity AND discourages:

• Mold
• Bacteria
• Fungus
• Decay"

Green Bags Foodsaver Bags – Keep Fruits and Vegetables Fresher Longer! is the site, anyone think those would be useful in the least for curing?

cheers

Silver is the secret ingredient. Silver is a natural antibiotic. Used a lot the the medical field.

I've heard those things work pretty well for fruits and veggies. Definitely worth a try for curing. I'm not sure it'll cure any better, but I bet the chance of mold would be lower.

I use a silver Nitrate filter to keep my hot tub clean instead of excessive chlorine...makes sense.
And...if you order now, they will send you a second set absolutely free...I saw the commercial too...but wanted em for my fruits and veggies...just can't beat a mason jar.

ethylene gas is given off from plants and veggies. not so much with pot plants, so the gas you are trying to rid the veggies of, doesn't exist when you place pot in the bags. The problem with oplacing weed into plastic bags for curing, is it MAY pick up a 'plasticy' taste. Glass is still the best way to go. Most supermarkets sell glass Mason jars for a buck or two. One jar holds about 7-15 buds, depending on size.

Drop a silver dime in the jar. (silver is going up, but a crappy condition dime is worth about a buck. pre 65 is all silver)
