Overview

An airtight glass jar is the final container for a dried harvest. Glass does not hold odours or react with contents, and a good gasket seal keeps humidity out for months. Store jars somewhere dark and cool, because light and warmth both accelerate the decline of flavour and potency.

Where it fits in the grow

Used after drying to store finished material long term.

Safety & handling

Never seal a jar while the contents are still warm. Trapped heat creates condensation on the glass, which is exactly the moisture you spent hours removing.

Practical advice

Open stored jars for a minute once a week in the first month. Any warmth, sweetness, or clumping inside means the material was not dry enough to store.
