I didn't heat seal them either, just made sure the push seal was properly done.Ash wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 12:43 pmBrilliant im glad theyre working so well for you. They said leave like 25% empty if i remember correctly. You also dont have to heat seal at all.Tictok wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 7:47 amHeres an update on the comparison between jarred and Grove Bags.Tictok wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:32 pmHeres mine set up for the comparison..
One thing to note, zero smell, nothing, nada. These strains a particularly loud. If I open a jar on the bedroom to burp I can smell it downstairs. With these bags, nothing, totally odorless. That in itself is a massive win.
The HashplantD was the better comparison as the flowers needed curing. The others had already had a few weeks of burping in the jars so were similar compared to the Grove bags.
At 7 weeks cure the Grove bag sample (pictured) was way superior. The jarred weed needed more burping and was averaging 64%RH where as the Grove bag was at a steady 62%. To be fair, I got a bit lazy on the burping front but I'm convinced the more racy feeling on the jarred bud was down to that. It was great not having to hurt the Grove bags, they just sat there.
I am sold on them.
The cons: I should have got bigger bags. I'm not keen in how the 1/2 bags compressed the bud a bit but that's me being picky.
The only other con is that with all those half ounce bags it makes me look like some sort of dealer! Bugger but less bags next time.
I'm thinking after curing for 8 weeks I am going to transfer them back to jars and re use the bags for the next
