Mason Jars- Cureing

[Slartibartfast]

Hi all, it's been a while since I've been here since I'm unfortunately not growing this year, but my sativa that I jarred in December is smoking just fine. It has been since early April since I checked on it and it's in a warm environment, been over 100F here this month, so I opened it up Saturday. One of the jars was really pressurized and some of the others were a little. In a couple of them I smelled the slightest whiff of decay, and then the smell disappeared. It all looks fine and the stems are brittle, but the buds are still pliable. I left it open and put a silica pack in each of the 10 jars overnight to dry it out more. When they get to where I would have earlier thought to be too dry, I will remove the silica packs and re-cap them. Unfortunately, I can't bring it into the house with AC if I expect to keep getting any... well, you know.

Any thoughts on this?
Thanks and have a great grow. I hope to be growing next year.

using those Ball jars with the wire locking mechanism and the glass lid and rubber seal they are workin good

Hey lotek, where did you find the Ball bailtops? I have found some but they are Italian and slightly rounded on top (not great for stacking, if need be)

Thanks.

:rofl: Yeah, I had a caramel jar. The glass was fine, but the lid apparently still had a strong caramel presence. Cool, I thought, my bud smells "caramelly". I had a friend take a whiff and she said it just smelled weird. She was right. I was just kidding myself

I have about 15 one gallon and jumbo size pickle jars. They are nice but I have about 5 of the lids that I have not been able to shake the pickle smell out of.

Try soaking them in a baking soda solution.
