Air tight containers for dry nutrients

[twentyeight.threefive]

Looking for suggestions for containers to store my Mega Crop, Bud Explosion, Epsom Salts, etc. All dry material.

What do you use for easy access for scooping? I mix up nutrients daily. The zip lock bags they come in are not extremely handy.

I've found the best items I've bought have been at the suggestions of people here. Thanks for any ideas.

I haven't gone to using many nutrients for cannabis yet, but I do use quite a few in my garden.
Just search on Amazon for airtight food containers, a number of those work, for some things I use airtight "pet food" storage containers if I need to keep a lot more. For things I wish to keep dry and don't have a lot of but want to be able to easily use a measuring scoop in (like flour, sugar, some outdoor gardening things) I like the glass jars with pull down snap lids and a gasket.

I use ones like these the most for similar applications:

In the bags they come in. (They are free with purchase).

I use the same glass jars that I bud the dope in. Sealed. Lid. Keep a little scooper in the jar. No ziplock, no dust cloud.

I read that but you can’t convince a container will be any different.

Something that size and twist off top would be perfect in plastic! Despite my desire to be otherwise, I am extremely clumsy.

Ziplock tubs. I've got my Megacrop in one right now.

Huh?

Do you have enough that 5 gallon buckets would work. With lids.

No, but I see where you are going with that. Those spin off tops are cool.

@Jimbo the Gael that might be almost perfect. Going to start looking for the size that would be appropriate for what I need. Thanks.

If you like the spin off lids, they make some like that too.

Should be easy to find.

Five gallon buckets have never failed me, one for dry, one for liquid, one for seedling and soil mixes all in their original packaging.

I get these local at Tap plastics.


The large bags I keep double bagged in a 5gal bucket.

I use empty jugs from protein powder. Or the gallon size plastic jug espresso comes in.

Wide mouth mason jars are good too.

This is what I ended up with. All I know is that it's 100 times easy than ziploc bags. I was hoping they were slightly more rugged, but I think they will do the job fine. Thanks again everyone for all your input!

I just use Ball jars since I have a plethora of them.

I use these glass flip lock jars for everyday use and keep the bulk stuff in sealed bags. Keeps the amounts exposed to the air over and over to a minimum since these ferts are hygroscopic compounds. I recently bought 25lb bags so those will be going in five gallon buckets, thanks @TintEastwood

Those are nice too. Easy open, wide mouth, and good seal. I only doubt using glass daily due to my clumsiness. That's why I went plastic. I also agree, @TintEastwood has many great ideas.
