Cure question? Amber or Blue?

So I’m looking into quart jars for my grandmas coming harvest. I’ve found both blue and amber jars and I know that the blue tinting helps.

My question is which gives an easier/better cure the blue jars or the amber jars?

have both no difference in cure noticed. my dark jars look dirty quicker and in the blue the buds are easier to see
 
Yes it doesnt matter between those 2. It's just to help keep light from degrading the buds. I would still store them in a cool dark place.
 
All I use are clear jars. However many people like the colored ones. If you do keep it in a dark place I really do not see the need to pay extra for the colored jars.
 
And you need to inspect the process as it’s happening. Just seems easier to spot potential issues through the clear glas.
 
Because I’ve done the clear and want to improve my harvest. I will likely keep it in a cool dark spot however my grandma has never kept cannabis as she’s a boomer so I wanna keep it as easy as possible
 
Yeah, I saw a purple version - a bit more expensive but they offer a box of 6. Without knowing what I'm talking about, it would seem to me, to be more practical to be able to see into the jar and easy to store the clear jars in a dark place. The purple are pretty cool though :)
 
I swear that when I 1st looked at them - about an hour before - they were only $ 32.00!!!! Still more per jar than the $ 16.00 for 4 blue ones but purple is the ROYAL color and so more valuable :) Still a $ 10.00 increase in 1 hour is a bit much.
 
Do you have multiple digital hydrometers to put into your jars? Buying a bunch of those would improve your ability to moniter moisture in your jars, thus improving your cure more than colored glass.
 
I store my 1/2 gallon jars in this old wood chest, The room it is in never gets above 74 degrees. I have strains and dates written on tops so it is easy to burp and remove buds for smoking.

Being we're in a dryer environment, I like half gallon jars as well. I don't have a problem with too much moister or buds sticking together. I remember something about that in a tutorial..?. I think.
Now my harvests are getting bigger the bigger jars are much easier to fill and burp, and half as many.
 
I will say that the colored jars are pretty cool. I just dont see why they are so more expensive. Using colored glass probably costs them less than a nickel more per jar. However they charge double what a clear jar costs.

I have never seen the black or purple ones. They sound pretty cool.

If they made a New Orleans Saints scheme colored jars my wife would buy them no matter the cost. Lol She is a Saints fan and everyone calls her saints. I am however a New England fan. And my youngest son (he is an adult) Is a Green Bay fan.
