Heres 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.
Heres an update on the comparison between jarred and Grove Bags.

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.

Image

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.
Brilliant 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.
I didn't heat seal them either, just made sure the push seal was properly done.

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

These bags are actually pretty good, easy to use, no burping, easier to store than glass.
So many positives so far, still curing so unable to tell if it’s made any difference with the bud but we will see

Everyone who uses them is converted. The ones who dont like them have never used them. This thread is a good and clear conclusion.

After a few months in the grove bags I have come to the conclusion these things are brilliant, they take all the effort out of curing, simply bag your weed up and seal them. Like most of you I didn’t use heat to seal but it worked perfect anyway.
The buds have cured nicely and it’s smoking lovely.
I’ve transferred everything to jars now to try and preserve the life of the bags while I’m dipping in for buds.

Personally I don’t think the bags cure any better than jars but the fact you don’t need to do anything when your bud is bagged makes them something every grower should be using

Also seems easier to not miss the cure window humidity. How long a cure did the bagged bud get?

Roughly 3 months depending on the bag, I tucked into one bag after a couple of weeks
