Grove Bags ??

I found these last year or the year before at one of the Amazon resale sites. You know the ones that sell the crap from China that was returned but not worth sending back.

A bit bigger than a Boveda but heavier. Each pack has 5 inside so you need to use all 5 at the same time. I used a pack or two when I realized I was going to have more surplus than I needed. Worked great on the mason jars.

I got two 100 pack bags for $3 each. Not sure what the real price is…

Amazon used to have them but no longer available. View attachment 120505
All preppers are very familiar with these! 👍🏻👍🏻 that's a great deal too!
 
I have 25 -30 used ones and I've lost the being impressed part. I was a fan then the zippers started ripping off. I had some bags dry out I though were supposed to keep the RH stable in. I have to add 2 - $5-.$7.50 humidity packs/1/4lb bag and they don't last long. I'd like to move to a better storage/cure method. Cvaults are too expensive. I just looked on Amzon for Vacuum canisters and there are some starting around $18- $20 for a 1lb coffee capacity. Cdn. I have a few items in a cart I'm going to add 1 or 2 tonight I think....Christmas and all,
Please review and share in detail. I am/was a fan of them too. Now three broken zippers later, I probably won't repurchase. I think an actual vacuum jar might be best. It will pull moisture to the surface, from the middle and that might greatly help with curing!!!
 
Please elaborate in detail. Hmm...
Here is one example I found.
 
Huh? Please elaborate in detail. Hmmm...
IDK about using cryogenics but I've used wine fridges I bought used off Craigslist, a mini fridge found near a dorm dumpster, and I bought a Bodega cooler which is basically a portable electric fridge/freezer.
Of them all, I really liked the wine fridges. No frills and only temp was 55 but also no compressor that adds condensation so with a fridge or the cooler, I need something to fight condensation

Basically Argon is has a higher density than air. You just spray some Argon into your jar and, as it settles, it pushes the air out the top. No air = no oxygen = no oxidation.

That's the "science" anyway. I wouldn't go through those lengths unless I was storing pounds for an impending apocalypse.
 
I've been following what everyone is doing for storage. I've had a couple of zipper fails on the one gallon Grove Bags that are opened and closed multiple times. So far, the overall convenience of the bags outweighs the seal failures. I just fold the tops over and slap a couple of spring clips on them.

I think my storage environment is advantageous, though. I store the bags in a wardrobe in my basement. The humidity and temps down there are pretty constant and near cure targets. I suspect cure conditions have played a bigger role in my early grow efforts producing end products have exceeded my expectations than anything about the grows themselves. It was shockingly easy for me to hit very close to the dry/cure targets that @Stoneyluv shared with me. A few tweaks with de-humidifiers to handle the periods of extremely high humidity have been minor bumps in the road. This allows me to move storage improvements down the "to do" list a little. There's room for improvement, but nothing urgent. Feeling pretty lucky about this part of the process.
 
I don’t, found a much better way to cure, store and keep terpines and when you finally come to the same conclusion, “feel free” to look me up and we can discuss the better options
Do you have a thread on here sharing your cure and storage methods? I'm sure that, I'm not the only one who would be interested in seeing what works for you. [Nudge, nudge 🤪]
 
Free, are any of us truly free.....lol...I demand you to use Grove bags with the shitty seals at $5 each or you ain't kool....lol......some days the weed hits harder than others...
We really are not free.

Every piece of media we consumed is constructed to a purpose

Everything we do is influenced by another mechanism


Freewill is an illusion, it's like propaganda.

Idk im kinda fuckin drunk, and I'm going through shit.

I'm mad, I'm furious, I'm pissed off, im sad, im depressed I'm hurt, I suck humans suck, blah blah blah ignore this, venting.
 
I've not personally used them

For now I'll stick to jars, till I see a problem and wanting to fix or advance that context or science or topic.

AI "Operation Mockingbird is an alleged CIA program from the Cold War era that aimed to manipulate American news media for propaganda purposes by recruiting journalists into a network. It is said to have influenced various media outlets and their reporting, although the extent and details of the operation remain debated."

This is probably just a wild conspiracy theory, and it's probably just a coincidence that 95% of ALL media is controlled by just six giant corporations.

As long as they can keep the people divided the uni-party can keep doing what they're doing, because not enough people will notice what's really going on.

No that's established fact, I thought./think.

that is what is realistically happening, atleast specifically, contextually, here in USA, and why not other countries?

No thread. I do two ways for dry and trim. Wet and dry. What I do for curing and storage are the vac canisters from spider farmer or herbs guard, mainly the spider farmer cause of price. When I bring buds to the table or short term storage i use the cvaults . When I’ve used grove bags the zippers have failed and buds are dry and rusting ( losing color) in 60 -90 days. The other thing with them is after ordering the same bag over a couple of years the plastic is different and nothing like what I originally started with. So when they talk about their patent, what bag are they referring to? No where do they show any science examples of how well they perform, they just tell you it’s patented . My goodness you can get anything patented if you want. Look its cool if you like the bag thingy, but their are plenty of equals and they come in at about half their price.

I like them for the curing so I dont have to keep burping the jars, long term is definitely jars for me.
 
So are we all getting scammed by Grove Bags? I don't think so. I had a few big bags that cured in the bags for nine months and wow, terpene city! If I don't have to burp and they come out this good then I'm all for grove bags. Also you can re-use them and you need to heat seal the tops.

I like them, no burping and I've had some in a bag for almost a year and still good.

I’m not here to contest anybody who wants to spend the money and feel great about them. But I’m also not here to say they’re great. In my runs with them in 3 months product had degraded significantly and in 6 months they were oxidized. I’m not going to change my opinion or yours. I did however recommend other vessels to keep buds fresher than they do and I’m not changing that either. When a better mouse trap comes along from grove, I’ll be glad to say if true they are good and better than what I use now ✌️

Did you heat seal them? I didn’t on one bag and it dried out. But in reality if you dry correctly you don’t need to cure at all. How do you store green?

Yeah I’ve heat sealed several times. Drying can be mitigated to degree with boveda packs . They are also inconsistent in the bag properties. Some of the bags were completely different plastic to the others. It’s basically just another scam feasting on in unproven and without science. Let’s be real if they really did what they say they’d have lab science, pics and measurements to display, they don’t. I think the metal canister with auto vac, along with humidity packs are better( spider farmer & herb guard) . I have flower in and the color is almost identical to what I harvested on July 4th. Nothing from the GB performs as well, they’ve all rusted up. Eventually the kraze for them and reality will catch up.

** they should have just marketed them for short term storage or as a bag to travel and at about half the price
