I've read through many of these threads and can't find this exact question, so pardon me if I've missed it.
My first grow (outdoors) is doing well here in N. Cal. Growing three varieties (Acapulco Gold, Laughing Buddha and Vanilla Kush). All have started flowering (very early stage). In anticipation of the cure in a few months I've been purchasing food quality glass jars with excellent seals and about to order the Boveda 62% packs.
My question is this. Does it matter what the size of the jar is and how full do you folks fill it? I'm trying to anticipate what I'll do and also how many jars I'll need.
I like the 67oz jar size and just from sight, assume it will hold 8-16 ounces of bud but not sure if I should expect to fill it up to the top, or if it's possibly better to only fill up 75% to allow the additional drying during cure. Perhaps 75% and them 90% after a few weeks. New territory for me and hoping to get some experienced feedback on this.
My current plan is to harvest when it's around 80% cloudy 20% amber to ensure maturity but to keep the sativa energy high I prefer. Will Bud Wash per Doc's advise and 1,000 page thread on the subject here in this forum. Then I'll hang on string in my enclosed garage with fans on low just enough to move the air a bit and once twig cracks (5-8 days from what I've read), will jar, burp and store in cool dark place.
So excited. Have enjoyed a relationship with this magical plant since 1968 but my first grow. whoot
Thank you.
