I wouldnt say I have any loss of quality drying in my grow room. I don't have a choice, I need the filter but I'm usually already vegging something again while I'm drying. Once they are done though the jars are stored in the case they come in, cool and dark in the closet. And whats sweet about those Bovedas is that I have 3 jars still that haven't even been opened since february, the very first time they went in the jar.
