asda do them for about 2.50 and they hold about 2 1/2 oz they're the same type as the 1's in argos just bigger, i put about an oz and a half in for quick cure/dry then fill them up, i'll be buying more from there next time i pop in got about 8 so far and a couple of the smaller 1's like the 1's in the argos link above but they're there just in case i run out of room and can't find the larger types i paid a pound each for the small 1's also in asda. not 100% what type they are but my mate said they got them in tesco aswell but they're a little more expensive. defo want to check asda cheapest i found so far

Good info, and sounds like they work out a fair bit cheaper than the argos ones.
 
i imagine so mate looking at mine i'd say it's about 3 little 1's to fill the larger type or there abouts, failing that there's a coffee called red mountain that has decent jars i don't know about air tight but the 1 i checked was water tight so i imagine they'd do the job and they're only a pound each? plus the coffees not to bad no nescafe but not bad none the less lol
 
Howdy Killa Vanilla! How's it all going?

As to jars, i would say ikea, they do allll sizes and shapes, but then ikea isn't in any way cheap any more :( still get as many free pencils as you can put in your pocket though :)
 
HAHA I remember competitions with my lil bro, how many pencils can you nick XD, whats your max so far lol I got 364 in my combats so millions of pockets!
 
Well thanx guys!:hug:

Great responses on the jar '?' ...the argos ones look the dogs! But i regularly shop in asda anyways so i'll have a ganders at what they got next time i'm in there.

To W.Dragon- just outta curiosity you mentioned you do an oz and a half quick cure/dry in your jars, could you elaborate on your method please? ...is that straight from plant with no hang drying or am i way off point?
Please excuse the noob grower in me but i can imagine that when my babies are ready to chop i'll be quite eager to sample the goods!:joint:

Or any other suggestions of drying methods?
...with some sort of stealth in mind if possible. i saw one guy hanging it out on washing rack in the bedroom, i don't think the mrs would approve of that one.:shock:

I'll also add to that, that i'm not going thru this lengthy first time ordeal just to bung it in a microwave an smoke some worthless gange. Quality methods of drying would be preferable...

sorry mate my poor interpretation, there's loads of ways but i'll tell you what i do, i bought a drying basket type thing off ebay £20 i think, 8tier round pretty big, chop n trim all buds chuck'em in there put in the attic hung from joist 4inch inline fan and carbon filter about a ft away only put on if it gets to smelly generally the heat raising up through the house takes the smell up through the welsh slate roof so no need left in the dark and check every couple of days after a wk checked daily 12days roughly to dry the slower the better then they got into the jars and burped daily for about a wk and then .......done the longer it's in the jar and cured the better. should mention that when it's really dry in the jars it won't need opening daily any more just kept an eye on i can't go into details about proper long term storage because it doesn't last long enough mate. as to quick drying no matter what you do it'll be crappy i'm smoking some now i cut a bud up into little bits put it on tin foil and put it on top of my cooker with the grill on for 5mins took it off for 5 and repeated the process a few times it's not dry but if you brake it down and leave it for a day or 2 it'll get there, i did it yesterday and had a couple of joints tonight not the best but it was cut wks early 3-4 i think? not bad though. obviously though mate not every1 can dry it in an attic so it'll be different for every1 and with stealth you'll need a dedicated spot for chopping,drying it stinks mate especially if you have a few ounces, what have you got planned for it? if mine wasn't in the attic i'd dry it in the tents it was grown in with the fan and carbon filter on? i'm a bit stoned think i got it all lol
with the jars i think i've been done on the little 1's there's no way they're half the size of my big 1's they only hold just over 1/2-3/4 of an oz ( asda the bastards ) lol

cheers really looking for a brand to buy from focus etc, then can add whatever after (looking for the base)
 
John Lewis do some pretty cheap Kilner jars......
Soil wise I use Coco canna personally. If planting outdoors though then any soil will do(it is a weed after all).

12 days until my trip, have decided to hit the following shops:
The Doors
Dampkring (OG Kush)
Greenhouse (Super Lemon Haze)
Barneys (G13 Haze)

All of these are pretty near to central station and should help me kill the early hours before I can check in.

On the walk to my hotel I shall be visiting:
Amnesia
Grey Area

After checking in it's onto:
Abraxas
Sensi seed shop
Dolphins (White Dolphin)

Then back to my hotel balcony to get baked and review what I've picked up.
Will pick up Northern Lights and Jack Herrer at any shop I find it (to compare and find the best). Also looking for some decent hash......
