drying help

ok so my buds always look nice and filled. with thc just before cutting. once i cut and dry them there doesnt seem to be as much thc. they are not as frosty looking as prior to cutting. i keep them in the dark for about 4 days temps and humidity are where they should be then i put into jars where i cure them for about 2 to 3 weeks then i just keep them in the jars. am i doing something wrong?

nothing wrong here- they look different to you because they have lost a lot of weight. the good stuff is still there, just the extra moisture is gone.

Is there a way to put your buds in a plastic ziploc bag i dont want 50 glass jars.

I've heard just a plain ol' carrier bag - twist the top a few times and set it down under the buds...
