Is drying in the dark a myth?

Your ref is more related to Hash or extracts I think .
Once the trich is penetrated decomposition is accelerated . Pristine trichs on flowers are a lot more resilient .

I noticed smoother buds when I accidentally left a branch hanging in my flower room.. and they were GOLD. no green .they deff dried to fast.. but once broken up u could smell it hard.. but.. still I think drying ur buds in HID light.. will degrade shit..

I will do a test next harvest.. I just flipped to flower today.. so 1 plant will be dried with a CFL lighting the room.. to try to get those GOLD buds we saw back in the day..

we will take a joint of each.. pre rolled so the testers have no clue about which is which.. and then see how the 5 people think they match up .but ive noticed that u cant go by wat u READ. gota go by others experience and your own.. because the books were written by someone who thinks they know it all. and if u remember .. weed was lied about for decades .. so im sure theres tons of mis info.. in the growers bibles.

Good day Elmer Bud na they are just talking about 9 different strains .. Nothing to do with hash or extracts. More to do with lack of extracts at the end of this process lol. Stay frosty headband 707:biggrin:

Hmm do you dry your herb for two years ?
The study showed if you leave the dry herb or extract unjarred for two years it would degrade .
No stats re how the herb reacts directly after harvest to sunlight or darkness.

And yes they are talking about extracts ?
Solutions of pure cannabinoids, nine samples of herbal and two of resin cannabis (one freshly prepared) were stored in varying conditions for up to 2 years.

Let me add when I talk about Sun drying I`m not talking about mid day Sun in Summer .Rather in a place shaded from the mid day Sun during Autumn / Winter getting morning and evening light .

Hummmm does this sound like just resin to you or do you read 2 extracts?

I believe it was a test to see how long the cannabis lasted... And just like any other cannabis it degrades. stay frosty headband 707

ive always thought in the marijuana community people would horde secrets to make finer weed and release inefficient methods of growing to occupy people.. i too have left shake in sunlight and came across pungent bubblegum scented (i was growing bubblegum) shake that i threw away because i assumed it would be too dry to smoke
