Hey guys, I am looking into purchasing mason jars for my grow. I have noticed that there are two types of jars available.
Those with "silver lids", such as these: http://www.amazon.com/67000-Quart-Mouth-Mason-Silver/dp/B00AA1H3VI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1387054065&sr=8-4&keywords=quart+mason+jars
And those with "Lids and bands", like these: http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Wide-Mouth-Quart-Bands/dp/B005T6FBOK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1387054556&sr=8-2&keywords=quart+mason+jars
So my question is, does it matter which kind I buy? And if it does, why ? The ones with "silver lids" are about half the price, so I am hoping to be able to use those

If I had researched a little harder, I would have gone with PP5 plastic containers instead of glass.
They are cheap and come in far more variety sizes and are just as safe, but way more cost effecient.

I only use regular mouth qt jars as well. I like them better for grains. It just personal preference. Probably doesn't matter. I know of several very accomplished cultivators on here that use wide mouth qts for grain

Any container that you can add a filter to and can survive the PC will work.

thnx, it's my reminder to drill holes in my mono's, too much of a stoner for the no holes method lol, and yes any jar with a lid will work i just prefer regular for the smaller hole during g2g

I like to mix and match although I've been collecting for 30 some odd years. I'm up to about a little over 100. I like to use small mouth for masters and wide mouth for receiving G2G jars, less spillage.
To each his own. Those prices seem way too high on the wide mouth. Ace Hardware or True Value in my neck of the woods sells them for about half on the Wide Mouths.
Sincerely, bootster
