mason jars are shit

[bursto]

Exactly how I do it.

Though, once the Mrs gets through the can of milo, I’ll chuck some buds in and test the @bursto tech. Haha

make sure to carefully bend the foil lid back all the way round inside the tin before trying to wash it out that shit is sharp

20 ltr buckets with 2 pound each in extra large ovenbags works really well, keep in the back of an old concrete cow milking shed(12-15 degrees max )

Hmm... Yes I'm intrigued here. Where exactly did you say this shed was located?

The lids on the mason jars are metal. How do they even seal in the first place?

They have a rubber ring inside. Google Mason jar lid.

you can lead a horse to water

the tins are air tight and light proof, you guys keep all your hard work in glass jars if you want (that smash when dropped)
they work ok if kept in a dark drawer but they dont come near a milo tin for freshness in the long term
i still have a few, i just use the tins for the best buds now and the jars are for the popcorn buds

i dropped a tin of weed off my bed onto a tiled floor the other day and nothing happened, no pile of glass and weed to sweep up like b4 if i had a mason jar out

That's complete rubbish. By what mechanism do you propose the 'mason milo tin' maintains freshness longer than a completely sealed glass jar?

Mason jars using the corresponding gasket and lid are 100% airtight. If not, the entire canning process, for which they were designed, would be impossible.

I'll concede that a mason jar is not the best choice if you drop them on the floor but that's not a concern for most people.

edit: typo mason instead of milo

I just replaced most of my jar lids with new plastic ones that have a silicone ring gasket. Pretty sure they are air tight

Out here in the desert you have to have completely air tight containers or your bud will dry out in hours. Mason jars are the gold standard for keeping your bud fresh when the relative humidity drops into single digits.

OK ...

Mason jars keep homemade strawberry jam, canned in late June 2016, tasting just as good as the day they went into the jars.

I had a PBJ last Sunday with that same 2016 vintage.

I've been wondering if all my weed curing in mason jars is actually as fresh as the popcorn buds i been putting into milo tins when i ran of glass mason jars.
then i realised that once i took the mason jar out of the cupboard for any length of time the buds were getting light from the windows by day and the lights at night.
so next time im curing a bunch of weed, i might save more milo tins and put the choice buds in there for a while.

dont get me wrong a mason jar full of weed is great, to look at, i just noticed more terps in the milo tins is all

9 pps already so I don't have to join the fight.

Cannabis should stay greasy for years out in the open. Cannabis is not consumed fresh, it is a climacteric crop requiring drying and curing in an oxygenated environment. Growing poor quality Cannabis and substituting lipids (that break down into cannabinoids and flavors via respiration) with water is a trend as new as state legalization.

Every time I meet a grower with glass jars I make them rub the inside of the jar with their finger. Smells like under the sink of the cheapest motel in town.. Always.. People be jarring up wet weed, pretending it's greasy, not burping that shit, and thinking they need new gadgets and tricks to replicate 20th century quality.. What people need to do is accidentally realizing sealing your shit up stops cellular respiration in its tracks, stopping the ripening process completely.
