:smoking: Feenix mate, long time! All's well enough I trust?

.... Well, as an OD grower mainly, using lights only for supplemental with auto's, the night light factor hasn't been an issue to date, even something like porch lights,... flash photography didn't trigger any adverse reactions that I can tell either,....Of course the full moon too! ... However, it's no secret that some strains are more sensitive about this than others, and tent light leaks can be a source of bad sac-like news! I think it's a matter of time exposure and perhaps spectrum,... for drying, I just don't know if strong light is that bad, I just know everything I read says low-to-no light,.. My thinking is it may potentially screw with that initial process of starch breakdown into so called reducing sugars as the plant scrambles for energy during death throes..? This process is where the moisture content needs to be high enough for cellular processes to continue,...

thanks 'Bear---

It depends mate, how dry the buds got,.. I don't jar until the stems snap or very nearly so,... but if you have mixed bud sizes, and some littles get too dry, they can go into a jar+pack to equalize for several hours, them remove and test,... If the buds are borderline for moisture content, leave the packs out initially; at this stage it's about getting core moisture to even out and overall moisture content to become more uniform; this may take a day or two.... then it's jar+pack time for the cure-

.... all the while mind you T and RH% still during the burping process,... too much RH% and the buds will rehydrate!

...As for your bro', if- this is new to him, make damn sure the buds are pretty much moisture balanced overall,... this is where rookie's jar buds too moist and get mold-

-- all that work gone to shit! Are you sure you're willing to risk it? Is he competent and vigilant? Do you have the hygrometers as well to test this in-jar? The packs do give and take moisture, but that's no substitute for proper initial drying,... Mind the reading times on hygro', it takes hours for things to stabilize enough and get a good reading,...
