What kind of buckets do you use?

5 gallon food safe plastic buckets from the store. They are like 5 bucks each with lids. I got the idea from a grower much bigger than myself who had a fish tank air pump hooked up to like 40 buckets, never opened the buckets after filling them just ran the air pump once a day.

Woah- and this is for curing correct? That's a good idea to stock up on buds man..

Anytime.... seriously curing in 5 gallon buckets is sooooo much easier. You do have to have the balls to not be "incredibly gentle" with the buds when you shake a 5 gallon bucket but is nothing to extreme.

Can you do this with a smaller yield? And the buckets are airtight right? Do you need to cling wrap them or is the top fine? I'd imagine the top seals air in.

They are close enough to air tight. Good bud will permeate smell through plastic but they contain over 99% of it.... There really shouldnt be much air exchange going on through a closed bucket but liquid is frequently stored in 5 gallon buckets so they are pretty much as sealed as your gonna get. I also keep 60 gram 62% rh Boveda packs in the bucket. You know your doing good when you literally have buckets of weed. I would want at least 3-4 oz to use a bucket but ideally more.
