Harvest & Curing Storing weed when dry after harvest?

[Bobblunt]

So I think my weed is dry enough to store for a few weeks, I don't have glass jars .... all I have is a clean protein shake plastic tub and sandwich bags with sticky tops not ziplock bag.

Any tips on what I should do with the weed now? Usually buy off people who keep in bags ... Anyone please? :/

Do you have a humidity meter to check how dry? It can feel dry on the outside but still have too much moisture in the center of the buds and stems. If you don't have a humidity meter you could seal it up in the bags you have for 24 hours and then check how it feels. After 24 hours if it feels a lot softer the moisture level might still be too high and you will need to leave the bags open for a few hours and then repeat the process.


Your best bet for long term storage is to buy a cheap humidity meter for $10 to $15 and use glass jars (recycled jars are fine) you want about 62% humidity for best storage and smoke.


After all your hard work growing you don't want to either have it mold because it is too moist or taste poorly because it did not cure properly.

Keep it hanging until it almost crumbles when you touch it. Then you can jar it up
