The importance of dark when drying
Luca90started grow question 2 years ago
I harvested my wm, I put in my bathroom but I need to leave the door a bit open to help air flows cause I don’t really want mould now and I’ve no window.so I also close all the curtains and stuff so there is no light inside but is not completely dark as well ll it affected bud?

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!

Hey what happen if you don't flush?And if I flush days before harvesting, and then I just want to harvest partially, since I want the buds on the bottom to keep developing which I think she can do so cuz she's really going on very well.

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.3 years ago

Since day 1 I've had 3 different phenos of this GG grow.
Pheno 1 & 2 are pretty much at the same stage, but the pace of pheno 3 is 1-2 weeks behind the rest.
I'm not sure what to do as I plan to dry in my tent, a staged harvest isn't the best option
Any tips?

What to do with smaller flowers during drying vs larger colas? And how do you get large colas in jars? I assume I have to trim them too smaller size right?Ok so drying on day 3/4 now and still too moist i can tell. But my rhetorical question is obviously the smaller buds will dry faster than the bigger and main colas right? Do I need to start jaring the smaller flowers then work to the bigger ones? Or all at once? Also, i assume...
