when i dry them like below while i start with my new round beneath them? Would these kind of light which reach them like showed affect the potency of my babies during drying??
Does this decrease the potency of my buds...

unfortunately i'm limited in my grow space/odor control to this grow tent, and i'm kinda tied up about my grow schedules otherwise that would be my number one pick of choice... so i have to flip that tent into drying mode?

also the buds would hang almost at the same level of the exhaust fan... wouldn't that be enough against the heat which comes up?

yeah but it'll also suck the moisture out of your buds, not really ideal for drying.

I had the same similar situation in regards to limited space and needing to control smell. I made a box just like jypsy dog posted. Just modified slightly and had no issues.

Put them in a cardboard box, and on the floor, reroute the intake to suck some air through the box. Not a lot of air. About 30 pin holes.
Now no light gets in and there is some air flow and it’s cooler than up above.

I used to use boxes like this all the time and they do a perfect job when you don't have your usual drying space.

air flow , or fan movement is the worst, if there is no or little air movement and they remain on the stem i think it will be ok. its surprising how long they take to dry on the stem. just make sure there is no air movement on them, natural rising heat is ok. if the buds are dense , if not take the good advice of others above. your lights in the photo dont look like they would generate a lot of excessive heat, whether its summer or winter where you live will play a part in your decision, This is just my opinion not advice

Or even use two bags...if it's drying too fast. You do not want harsh smoke which fast drying will give you.

You don't need to turn off the tent. A little indirect light isn't going to fuck your buds up for just a few days. If the temperature isn't very high and the RH stays over 40% the drying process will be OK. I have experience with this, I live in a very humid place and cardboard boxes just don't work at 75% constant RH and we have to find proper places for drying.

unfortunately not. i'm living in a harry potter-like apartment and the tent already takes more then1/4 of my living space...
