Glass vs Grove Bags

Did a highly scientific comparison (joking) of glass jar storage vs Grove bags on my last grow. 4 months in and the difference is huge. The glass jar storage is starting to get that stale "dispensary" weed smell while the Grove bags are still smelling wonderful. Grove bags were heat sealed with a bic lighter opened and resealed at least a few times. These were 1oz jars vs 1oz bags. Highly recommend the grove bags. I wont be going back to jars.

That's because weed tastes smells and feels like LOX and β-oxidation products, not poisonous isoprene products (like the pharma takeover agents who fill the weed forums have been preaching for years.)

"TERPENES TERPENES TERPENES" .. Biggest lie ever told about weed. Other than "it's the d9thc, that's it".

LOX requires fresh oxygen, so does β-oxidation obviously. Jars provide no fresh oxygen. Grove barriers are engineered at 2% O2. Grove is, historically, the first Cannabis-specific manufactured product on the market. The first qualified Cannabis brand, that actually knows their shit. The only one to date.



"I didn't know how much better it could be"

Funny how often you'll hear that from the top internet growers over the years. You never stop hearing it over and over from people who already told you their weed was too tier. Eventually, you'd think, they'll stop listening to the same old people that sabotage them over and over. All the cure gurus and terp experts.. All the breeders with new strains. Marketing gurus.

I'm over here lobbying against terpenes, on a federal level, the cannabis community is bitching about botanicals, the same terps I lobby against. Yet tons of top growers talk about "preserving" the very same shit, shit that's been bred into their shitty commercial weed, shit that only shows up in shitty hydro grows, while everyone misses organic weed with the fatty acids and without the shitty hydro botanical terpenes..

I did the same comparison with mason jar and sweet decades bags. The bags were better so I purchased 200- 1oz. bags and tossing out a bunch of jars. I used a vac sealer on seal only to heat seal the bags. I had a 3 pound summer grow so I also keep them in 2 koolatron wine coolers and regulate the humidity to close to 60%. Definitely need for long term storage, no way I can consume that much. Actually the first time in years I don’t have anything in the flower room

Anyone know if the knockoff groves on amazon are just as good? I bought a 10 pack of the pounders because I procrastinated too long and had to bag up a harvest and I needed them asap and couldn't wait for the legit groves.
 
I like totes. More room to breathe and cure great with boveda 62s
Can you explain the timing & size/brand tote u use along with temps etc.
Do you count on snap lose fitting lid of a common tote allowing enough air to avoid mold but to little to lose terps with addtion of the 62's? Those are added what stage?
thanks

I just started using these Walmart ones with the seal and 3 months later they still smell strong and haven't gone brown at all. I slow dry them till they're around 68 then air them out once a day till they're stable at 62 then throw in a big boveda 62 in each. Left them on the branches and didn't trim either which usually give you that hay smell after awhile but not this time. I've just been fanning them every couple weeks now and can still smell the bud when they're closed and I move them so they're not 100% air tight but close. 32 quart

my issue is smell-which grove bags fixed. I think it depends on situation, I prefer your method as until a mainstem goes totally dry buds are kept fresh with terps intact longer like in nature where an old bud still gets one high vers a sellers mylar ziplock with fancy photos etc that sometimes causes mold in buds not dried right as if too dry sure beats white with mold .
I will say the grove bags work, just dry like normal & put in bag with preferred % Boveda & that's it for a year or longer till day you want to try it.

Yeah I'll try them eventually just get lazier as the years go by and I'm liking just throwing it all in a tote. I also give a lot away to family so I'm like "here's your Walmart bag of bud on the stems, trim it yourself" lol
