    Curing question

    For the jars, are they supposed to be sterilized before curing, or is washing with soap and water ok?

    1st timer, sorry πŸ˜…

    If they have been used and have residue in them I rinse in isopropyl to remove any sticky. Then just run through the dishwasher and make sure they are dry.
    Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

      I just use soapy hot water and air dry them in the grow room.

      I've never had mould issues in the curing jars or ammonia problems but I typically slow dry to closer to 55% moisture content than 62%.

        How long do you dry them at that percentage?

        My outdoor crops I just hung in my garage and that would typically take 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes longer.

        My last dry I used the grow room for the first time as a dry room and I accidentally dried them way too fast. I had far too much air movement and the RH was too low.

        Next time I'll dry them nice and slow over a couple of weeks in the room. Hopefully the humidifier can keep up with the AC.

      Generally I just pop β€˜β€˜em in the dishwasher. Then I give them a quick rinse with clean water to remove any possible soap residue then air dry.
      I’ve also reused jars I just emptied many times (cause sometimes I’m just lazy) . Never had a problem

        I don't even wash mine. I just reuse them. What's the worst that can happen? The keif from before gets stuck to the new flower? OMG!!! Lol!

        I lied. Sometimes I'll wash them when my GF's OCD kicks in and she bitches about how dirty the jars look!!! LOL!
