Curing question

[JWPcinders]

Hellllooo, I have a little bit that is ready to go in jars but not nearly enough to fill it 3 quarters of the way to the top. Am I able to put it in the jar and add to it when the other stuff is dried and ready to be put in the jar aswell?

yes you can if its the same batch. By that I mean don’t add this months harvest to a jar from last month.

This is called finished goods - the stuff you worked for. Don’t go cheap here, no shortcuts, extra caution and planning. If you are new to dry cure - gotta have those in jar or mini hygrometers.

Some are cheap digital Chinese plastic 1 X 2 inch others are mason style jar lid insert type and fit right into your mason jar seal rings. 62% rh is your number

Nope seperate batches

Darn thats unfortunate and complicates things lol

I’d say yes if you’re going to do a long cure.

Apologies - I looked at it from wrong context .... posted it then did an edit


heres the problem I see... from the same plant sounds ok but if you cured a batch and get the RH stabilized and then keep adding fresh green to it with a higher RH then you run risk of screwing up. Does this make sense - help me out here Penny

I have mini hygrometers coming in today. Other stuff will be dry in 2 weeks or less. So if I put what I have now into a jar and add to it 2 weeks from now and continue to cure for another month it should be okay?

When I do a staggered harvest on a very tall plant I process 3 different batches.

Why? because my chop dates are several weeks apart. I take the top colas for my A harvest and start processing that. I keep that A harvest handled, jarred and stored separate all the way thru.

About ten days later I chop my middle level buds for the B harvest, I process them but since they are fresh and have more RH then will never be placed in same jars as my A harvest.

Last I cut the lowers and larf for my C harvest - these will never be stored with either A or B.

now 2 or 3 months out when they are perfected. yes I could put them in same jar. I’m not a pro by any stretch and I’m probably anal about some things... anyway that’s my 0.02 cents!

it could probably be done other ways too

I would think you’ll just extend the cure time. As long as they are at the same Rh I see any issues popping up.

Get a smaller jar.

If growing the same strain I just harvest all at the same time depending on spare space.

Personally I would not dare mix slow air dried bud to another jar cured for a few weeks already purely on taste between the two ages of bud.

When I think about if it is dried well enough why not ? taste might not be on the agenda when recreational results might well be !

 

[JWPcinders]

I made a slight arrangement haha. Its no glass jar but it will work!

Same here fuzzy, I don’t like to mix but once they are cured out safe and from the same plant - I don’t mind if I need to recycle a jar. Mostly cause I use 1 gallon jars but normally I run very separated batches

You can also put something like a small glass or glass beads in the bottom of the jar to take up space
