Hey Chuck,
Does the light start to negatively affect THC immediately or is it mainly once much of the moisture has been lost?

I read an experiment by Rm3, he left his out on his living room table, then had it tested, i don't think there was much of a loss. So I doubt it would hurt to much. It's usually after it dries and has been lite up for a while before it turns color.

here is the quote from RM3

I would harvest at first sight of amber if you want more energy less lock. Also turn off all lights (especially UVB) for 1 day before harvesting for max potency. (THC is at peak at the end of a dark period, aka in the morning. UVB triggers resin production, but also degrades THC so giving it a break to regenerate will max you out)
I once had a bud tested and it was at 25% THC, I then left bud sittin out on my coffee table for a month totally exposed to light and air. I then tested it again and it tested at at 22%
my point,,,, 1 night in the dark will make no difference at all
