HighTech curing...

[Toker1]

Paper bags will draw moisture out. Plastic film will not.

[Farmall]

Is that 12-13% moisture correct?

i love how polite and helpful they are, but ive been thinking about this whole curing thing. the most important factor to control is oxygen, you need to have oxygen and then not to have so anaerobic bacteria can also thrive and play its role in the curing. anyway if what this bag does its allow oxygen to get inside to prevent anaerobic bacteria from totally decomposing the bud. isnt that exactly what any other non-sealed container does? for example a brown paper bag? i dont want to bummer you guys down im all in for a solution to burping im just thinking out loud

So I wrote to the company to clarify a few things for myself before I use my bags, thought I would share the info.

Hey David,


I am contacting in regards to your questions about our products:
"After drying, do you have to put the buds in a mason jar to make sure the moisture is dispersed evenly or can you put them straight into the bags? Also, during curing do you have to burp the bags the same as you would a mason jar, or do you just put the buds in the bags seal it and leave it alone for a few weeks? "

• There is no need for mason jars with our bags
• Once you have done your initial dry and gotten your product to about 12-13% moisture content you can put it in our bags.
• Our bags are designed to eliminate the burping process during curing and storage
  • All you have to do is give the bags a light shake and agitate them every other day to keep fresh as the day you started curing for 6 months

I would be happy to setup a call to answer any other questions you might have or to go over processes. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need.
Thank you and have a great day,
Dominic

I'm not sure, I did not see anything on their site about "burping" so what i am doing is to have one bag that I "burp" and the other one sealed. Like I was saying they claimed that their bags have microporous layer to let air in and out !! So once again I'm keeping my jars to control the airflow on my own.

[Toker1]

Yes, remember matter is never created or destroyed. If gas was only allowed out and not back in, it would create a vacuum inside the bag. The inner walls of the bag would collapse in crushing the buds inside. So it has to be a free exchange of air inside the bag.

[dphipps1020]

I have to keep mason jars anyway cause that's the only way my dogs for sure can't eat my weed. But yeah, also as a backup plan. My guess is they're going to work a lot like the Boveda packs. Do you still have to burp them? Since they're designed to let everything extra out, does it take in fresh air too?

[Farmbuck]

Ok But I'm keeping my mason just in case, a few weeks in my two bags is not enough to make a final conclusion.

[Spidermite]

That's my hope. Will be alot easier storing mass quantities in these.

[dphipps1020]

I went ahead and ordered some too, I got the 10 pack of the 1/4 pound bags. I was probably going to have to get more jars anyway so I figured why not for $29. Won't be able to really use them for a month or so but I'm anxious to try it. If they work well enough I may order more and get rid of my jars all together.

logos?
please, please, please be a Giant Rooster with 2 basketballs

[Spidermite]

I will keep everyone up to date. I'm hoping they work well. Then I can order them with preprinted logos etc.

[Farmbuck]

Yes keep us posted..... As for me so far I don't see much difference between the bags and the mason jars with a Boveda. A bit early to tell !!

[s62]

Thanks for testing this out and keep us posted! I look forward to hear how they work

Ok I got my 50 1 ounce bags yesterday. I have 3 plants coming down so I'll do half jars and half bags. I also have the spoils from the last 9 plants just finishing their 3 week in jars. I'm gonna split that between bags and jars also. I will set one jar and one bag aside to check at 6 months and then a year. I will have them tested for terpenes and loss of thc and other cannaboids once at 6 months and once at a year. So we will see if their claims are true. If they hold up to the hype I'll start packaging the cbd/hemp in 1 pound bags with preprinted labels and logos. Will save me a hell of alot of time if they work.
