I would worry less about light and more about mold with them being inside closed boxes (even with little holes in the end and a fan blowing on em). Light is not going to degrade them that much if anything. Traditional MJ growing regions have been drying their gear in the open sun for decades. I would keep the lid open with a fan blowing against them and not directly on the buds.

I'm afraid I have to disagree total darkness for best results. Traditional mj regions when people are cropping at least 50plus plants haven't got the time to treat bud well. Also in their sir countries climates drying properly is difficult. im sure we've all seen bundles of BUD drying in barns all tied together, it's not exactly given the best of care. Most traditional mj regions grow the plants for the hash, not the bud.

I'm not saying his advice is wrong there's all diff ways.

when we are drying we are removing moisture and this has to be done evenly, it makes sense to me to sweat the buds and draw that inside moisture out, then to cure (like ripening a tomato) I always end up with rock hard slightly spongey nugs this way n never over dried crispy shit!

Like I said I've tried a fair few ways and after spending 3months of my life growing this shit I want the best poss taste (he says this running dwc lol)

If you ain't tried the sweat method what have you got to loose. Just because you've cut them slags down it don't mean the hard works over!!!!

feel free to diagree lad:). I dry my buds in my grow room (outside the actual light area), but I do go in there and turn lights on and sit and have a smoke so spend say, a couple of hours a day with the lights on. I think light glowing on your buds is far better than them being in a box without light and a few holes on the side (to me that's moldbait!). To do it this way with a closed box I would suggest that Shawny has a small extractor fan inside the box pulling fresh air in and letting stale air out (if he wants to proceed with keeping the lid closed.) Or just stays out of the room they are in and keep the lights off!!

The extractor fan would be ideal !!!

What do you think on the method in the vid?? I'm surprised you all dry like that, may be it's the dirt but when I dry like that I end up with crispy grass smelling weed.

And it's about as strong as street shit!!!

4-5 days hanging in a 50%rh environment at room temperature, 3 days in a paper bag, jarred and burped for 2 weeks to cure....my nugs will smash yer grannies windaes, lol. Sweat and drying seem to me to be a juxtaposition!And I am still here, no need to talk about me like I am not "his", is that like "she" the cats mother, lol.
