<span class="link_user">@Condocannibus</span>, as far as keeping the smell in the bags, i'd say "mostly" .. very slight odor but it could even be from handling the bags with sticky fingers when first bagged.
<span class="link_user">@Condocannibus</span>, I also did not wash the buds in this harvest, i just dried them until a small branch made the snap when bent and cleaned the nugs and put them in bags. This harvest was a lot less work and cheaper because i didn't buy many gallons of distilled water and jars aren't cheap either. Jars are more work too, having to burp during curing, with bags i just leave them in the drawer.
<span class="link_user">@Condocannibus</span>, its the first time i've ever used the bags, i packed them full and put them in a dresser drawer. I did not include a RH meter so I don't know the RH. I just now went and opened a bag and felt a nug.. in my opinion the bags are working better than my first harvest I used large glass jars. The nugs in the bags seem sticky and dank and smell is more diesel, the jars smell is more floral and buds lean on the dry side but i've had them curing in jars for many months now. It's only been about 2 weeks since bagging, my opinion is the bags are the way to go.
