New Grower Drying inside LED grow-room?

[san]

Hello everyone:

First grow here, currently like on day 74 (3 autoblueberry). Since im running out of weed i need to chop now atleast one plant. Is it ok to leave the hanging buds drying inside the grow room with the LED light on ?

Thanks!.

It's not the best idea to hang the buds in the tent where you're growing, drying buds needs different environment to growing in, 45-55% RH and temps 18-23c if I remember correctly but I'm stoned. Also, light degrades THC which you don't want happening!

I agree that it is not optimal. However, one thing you could do, is use a brown paper bag to put the buds in. This would slow the air flow from drying them out too quick, and also stop the light from degrading the THC content. Of course it all depends how fast you want the bud. The paper bag would slow the process compare to just hanging it. I'm sure someone can give you a better answer, but the above would work.

I ask because readed that UV light is whats bad in the drying stage, but to my understanding LED grow lights dont produce UV ? ( i might be wrong).

Leds are capable of UV, it just all depends on what panel you have. It would be listed though. I have yet to see 1 with UV, but w/o it listed. But really if UV is what concerns you, just make a drying box. It does not take much to block the light. This is a general google search on "DIY cannabis dry box" https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=diy+cannabis+dry+box&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Hope it helps some.
