There is another closely related plant to weed plants, the Hop plant, light does affect the character of the hops and the beer made with those hops. So you could extrapolate from that, that drying and storing in the dark are probably important for ultimate freshness, ideally away from oxygen too as that can degrade the aroma of hops.

Air flow is a big deal i would focus on that and just make sure theres not direct light on them and you will be fine. Theres no facts if darkness helps with end of flower or not but i still do it.

It is not harmful unless you have direct sunlight/grow light on it.

Hi there
As GG said really, A small amount of light isn’t going to hurt just try to keep us dark as possible and a good air flow 👍🌱

The only thing I would be concerned about is air flow... a tiny amount of light is not going to hurt the drying process but if you don't have air flow, you could be in for some bud rot. Get a fan going in there NOT pointing directly at the buds but so that the air is moving AROUND them... and you should be just fine!
Good luck!

What’s up guys just harvested my gelato! My dry room sits at 20-25c and 40-55%. I’ve cut all big fan leaves off and hung it all up. In two days I plan to completely trim and then re hang to finish drying. Does that sound like a good idea? Any tips are appreciated. Many thanks!Week 14

Weed smells dry like regular cut grass. What to do?I harvested parts of my laughing buddha and I've dried it for a few days now and the thing is, it smells like regular cut grass. When I touch it it smells like it's supposed to but when I open the jar it smells only like cut grass. Other plants have their unique smell tho. Help5y ago

Are these to early to pick?So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented themWeek 11

Harvest: I don’t know what’s coming aheadI’m 5 weeks into flower, maybe 3 weeks left, that’s enough time to get anything I’m missing. I watched some vids on youtube. Can someone give me some steps to follow for harvest and what I might need? I have CBD plants, bud formation is not like regular THC plants.

When could I start to harvest?When do you guys think I could start harvesting? I’m in week 9 of a Fast Eddy CBD grow. This strain only had 9% THC so I didn’t know if this would mean the trichomes don’t go as milky.
