How to choose the perfect weed jar for your buds

It is important to choose the right glass cannabis jar for your buds. When choosing glass jars, the most important thing to consider is the quantity you want to store and time. If you consume just a small amount of weed once in a while, the small jar also known as X-small can be perfect for you. 

If your consumption is about ¼ to ½ every few weeks, the medium or Large 420 jar can be ideal for you. If you want to store larger quantities of weed, the Large Wide Mouth, the XL UV, or the Latch Top jar will be ideal for you. For frequent users, the gallon jars or glass apothecary jars will be ideal for you. 

Choosing the perfect cannabis jar based on size

If you want to store weed for longer, you need to consider the airspace inside the cannabis glass jar. After every use, you will leave more airspace inside. Your best solution is to choose several sizes of glass jars to keep your weed airtight. If you want to store weed for a longer time, a Boveda Humidifier pack can help keep the moisture regulated to keep cannabis fresh for longer.

How much cannabis fits in a jar?

When buying a glass cannabis jar, consider the amount of weed that you want to fit in the jar. How much space you need is determined by your product density and moisture level. Each weed strain yields different densities. A denser product requires less space while a lighter product requires more space. 

Here is a recommended list based on the amount of cannabis you are storing. 

  • 1 gram cannabis – 2 oz. jar or 13 Dram Pop Top

  • 4 g to 7 g – 5 oz. jar or 30 Dram Pop Top

  • 10 g – 6 to 8 oz. jar or 60 Dram Pop Top

  • 15 g – 10 oz. jar or 90 Dram Pop Top. 

The recommended humidity in weed should be 59% to 63%. When it’s more, it attracts mold and when it’s lesser, your cannabis will dry out. Humidity packs help maintain the right humidity level in weed products. 

The Boveda Packs provide a humid condition within the cannabis storage to keep moisture at the right levels. They are available in any size that fits your storage solution. When properly stored, dried weed flowers can stay fresh for up to 12 months. Well-preserved weed oils can stay fresh for over 1 year while edibles stay fresh for up to 7 days.

This is for my first grow and I have Zero idea what to expect.
Just hoping to have something to harvest!

Keep in mind that it should get better each harvest from here on out. Your harvest should increase in amounts and quality as you get more experience and confidence.

What size Mason Jars should I purchase to store buds in?

Your choice. The larger the jar the fewer that will be needed but the downside is that if something goes wrong there is the chance that everything in that jar might have to be tossed. Not saying that something is going to go wrong but like everything else in life we have to keep in mind that eventually something is going to happen.

I'm assuming I should buy wide mouths, but what size - 16, 32 or 64 oz jars?

Having a selection is probably best if you keep growing. As mentioned the 32 fluid oz or quart jar is popular. It holds a decent amount and is easy to handle. Plus there are a lot of them available.The half-gallon or 64 ounce seems to be a bit awkward but it certainly holds a lot.

When the quart jar starts to get half full I like to move what is left over to the pint (16 fluid ounce) jar.

Then there are several sizes that you have not mentioned. There is the 20 oz which is a tall straight sided wide mouth jar and that is one really convenient sized jar. For the personal stash which is in the bedroom dresser drawer my favorites are the 8 and 4 ounce jar.

I buy the regular size lids and the large mouth. The wide mouth might be a bit easier to get everything in and out but in the long run I really do not notice much difference between them. Plus, the large mouth can sometimes cost a bit more than the same sized jar in regular.

The jars will last forever. When the ring starts to get worn out looking they can be bought in boxes of 12 rings and 12 lids. If the lid itself (the flat piece that fits inside the ring) wears out they can be replaced by buying just small box of lids.

Was buying fresh produce at a farm market and the guy asked if I wanted some canning jars. One of the regular customers said she was reducing her stockpile since the kids had moved out and had no interest. So I said I would take a few and he handed me a box full of these.

The colors are just colored glass and nothing more. But, there are UV Resistant jars, usually found in just the 32 oz size but the cost might be more than most of us want to pay.


Some oddball sizes and shapes. The first one is a wide mouth 4 ounce and convenient for small amounts. The 3rd jar is a 6 or 8 ounce jelly jar, also a convenient size.



The center jar is a 4 oz jelly jar. I find these the most convenient for small amounts as shown in the next photo.


The same size jar as the center one in the above photo. This is great for the dresser drawer stash. I am not handling larger quantities so reducing the chance of dropping or an accidental spill. Really great if going to visit someone for a party or an overnight camping trip, etc. Just grab the jar and a pack of papers and hit the road.
