For anyone who wants to know if they should tape their buds to the fan like i did, i dont know how well it will work when they are finally dry but this is not a quick dry method. Judging by how much my buds dried overnight i would estimate that it would take about 3+ days to be dry uning this method.
lol I don't think anyone would recommend lazily taping a couple small buds to a dusty fan. There are better ways which you have already found to a quick dry for your buds. On top of a toaster oven, tv, router, laptop (upside down), clean fan, etc are all better ideas than the picture I just looked at.
I don't believe there is a question about whether light degrades thc during the curing process, the only thing I'm not 100% on is how much it degrades.
Why don't you show us all proof of your awesome theory and set half your harvest in complete light with the other half being put in the dark? Let us know how you get ripped off yer face broseph, totaleezy trashwrecked off some of that fan dust - hope you're keeping the grow clean.
