I have found that if you use those silicone drying packets during the process, it knocks off several days. I was able to dry a cutting in a few as 4 days using them, and the processes mentioned in this forum. A fan was blowing on the cutting 24/7 and I made a "dry-box" that kept out much of the light. There was no noticeable change in potency either by using the silicone. Cure time is the same! Most people hate the "cure process" but it is necessary, so no changes there.

This has to be the most detailed instruction on drying and curing that I have read so far. But why is it that my indoor harvest always dry into a goldish/green color and the smell goes away until the curing is over, but the outdoor stays a nice green color and the smell stays the same the whole time ?

WOW only 10 days into veg then u put them into a flowering right away man CO2 really does work

I just hang my buds in my flowering room in the open. Where my charcoal filter is.
Why would it be better to dry in the spare closet I have in my flowering room with a fan on in there? I havent noticed a difference in potency or taste or smell, but if Im wrong, Im wrong.

Flower room will work fine as long as the light is not on.

Will it hurt potency, taste,smell, or is it deeper than that,like chemical breakdown of the canabinoids-terpens-and what not?

You should always dry and store your weed in a cool dark place. From what I have read, light degrades the THC. If pressed I can give a reference on this, but most folks won't have a problem agreeing with me about this fact.

I have since Googled this and found the same diagnosis as you. I will either put in closet or keep in flower room ( where filter is ) and cover up with shade boxes. This beautiful DJ True Blueberry is one plant I dont want to hurt in any way.

My buds were always more "sparkly" when dried/kept in the dark. They would loose some of the gleam when dried in light.
