Darkness

Does darkness play a key role in the bud drying procedure or could the buds be hung out to dry almost just as well in a well ventilated but not so dark room? I'm asking this because I don't know if chlorophyll can "exit" the bud without total darkness. Thanks to all that share their opinions

Light breaks down THC.

So... keep em in the dark.

you want total darkness because the light will kill off the thc ).

I'll third that^^

I don't think it has to be total darkness like in the flowering chamber. Make sure it's dark enough with no direct light.

Thanks for all the input guys. The reason why I was asking is because I will be harvesting in about 7-10 days and I usually dry the buds in the same room that I grow. But this time I have 2 or 3 "late bloomers" that I wouldn't mind keeping about a week more in flowering than the others. And I can't dry in any other room because the smell would be crazy, neighbors would be at my door just sniffing and drooling. I guess I'm just going to have to sacrifice the minority in order for the majority to prosper, right?

No... not really. Dry em in a closet... or a spare bathroom. Well, I'm saying this and I have no clue how much you're trying to dry. Silly me. I like to dry in my garage. Large space, and I have all the windows blacked out. It's also out of the way of any foot traffic.

Dude, I live in a 2 room apartment (of which 1 room is the grow room) and I'm probably going to have to dry at least a kilo of bud. One kilo dry weight that is!

Does each bedroom in the apartment have a closet? Empty one of those mugs and get to drying in there. Hell, you may have to sacrifice your own bedroom closet. Such is life! But it's only temporary. If you're not using it already, dry in the closet of the bedroom that's the grow room.

Just a thought.

Get an old dresser with 5 or 6 droors in it, cut out the bottoms of the droors and replace them with screens, then you have a drying rack with slide out shelves.
