I use multiple 1 pint jars. Reason - If all your bud is in one big jar and you get "the fuzzy" you're screwed. If you use multiple jars and one gets "the fuzzy" you're only a little screwed.

The best way and the new way I might very well start doing all my harvests is the way I do my popcorn nugs...I put them all in a cardboard box, or paper bag and just put them somewhere that is well ventilated and just leave them alone for a couple of weeks...when you get them back down they will be dry, but just perfectly so that when you out them in a jar they lose the crumble, but can regain it if need be...

I use the paper bag method to dry my nugs but cure them in 1 quart jars, works for me.

Multiple jars. What happens is everything is fine, then one of the jars won't smell just right. I immediately dump that jar into the clipped, dried shake box for a few hr. The dried bud leaf shake acts to pull the moisture out and kills the off smell. Then back into the jar. I just turned out 8 oz in a dozen perserve jars. It's not so hard. I can burp the box of jars in only 3 minutes.
So, you don't want to use just one jar. A little mildew means the entire jar is contaminated.

walmart sells a small Thermometer/RH% for like 7 or 8 bucks its small enough to fit in a large glass jar (not the pints) and it mesures the rh% in the jar so you know if it ever gets to high you need to burp the jar and let it breathe

The nose knows. I had no problems for the 1st 2 weeks, but the last run, I had to re-condition 4 jars after 3 weeks.

Hey just wondering is burping the jar to control the humidity? So if I were to cure in the driest place possible I would never have to open and this would give me the best cure? I never understood the point of burping I thought it was to just let the buds breath?
