Umm, if all you have is bags, use that, but don't expect a proper cure.

You don't have any empty vodka or rum bottles? Hell, a 2 liter bottle would probably be better than a plastic bag

Hell a large pickle jar, an empty mayo jar, any jar will work as long as the opening is large enough for your buds without crushing them as you put them in, and yes tupperware.

Just start buying a few things that come in glass jars..all my jars are from something else...I don't see any reason to buy what I can keep out of the trash already...lol...who cares if it looks like Kraft Macaroni and Weed jars...it all works out...I know what it is and I am the only one that needs to...

As long as they don't have any strong odors, you can use glass pickle, peanutbutter, jam, etc. jars.

Just go ask old Mrs. Johnson down the hall or any old person you know and I bet they will have a jar or two for you.
If they ask why just say you need a change Jar or you bought a crapload of macaroni and ran out of containers or something like that.

If you are still not able to source out some free jars then use the tupperware...not ideal but it will do the job.

You can also trim all the fresh bud up into quarter sized nugs and put them into cardboard boxes.....it takes longer to dry initially, but it is drying and curing at the same time..the cardboard draws excess moisture away so you don't have to worry about mold in the still area...you should put the box in a well ventilated spot, but there shouldn't be anything blowing on the nugs inside......you can also hang the whole plant, minus the roots to dry...again this takes longer, but you don't have to worry about shitelding them from light and drying too fast...it also begins the cure for you, so if you had to put them in tupperware or baggies, they won't mold, and should taste better the longer they sit...in a bag though everything will get more and more dried out...so that isn't good....Anyway there are a couple of options to use instead of glass jars...but glass jars are still where that finished product should end up being put for long term storage...

So trim and place fresh product into a box, or don't trim the plant before hanging and wait til it is totally totally dry and feather light...either one will give you a cure without a jar, but you have to have somewhere to store it, and glass is pretty much it...tupperware and baggies are not airtight...they try to claim they are...but they aren't...the plastic interacts somehow and so air is able to get to whatever is inside of them...especially ziploc bags...some tupperware is alright..wait wait wait...I am thinking of the nice glass pyrex ones with the lids.

I recycle my spaghetti sauce jars for curing smaller amounts, and cleaned out three gallon kitty litter container for larger cures. The co gainers also work good for growing, and storage of the jars to keep them out of the light.

if they're crispy enough not to get crushed 5 or 3gallon buckets would work and are very affordable. you can either remove the handles and tape over them or leave the tiny holes for just a little bit of air to perspire
