no, it doesn't have to be dark. i don't suggest hanging them under a 1kw hps to dry, but our dry in a room with regular ambient light.

Yes that is going to be a total problem if there is any light reaching your buds because all and any light degrades and oxidates your THC. if there is no light penetrating you will be just fine

Yea don't have it under grow lights but a little light wont hurt it that much. Make sure you keep the air flow good so mold doesnt form.

lol.

NO THE FUCK IT'S NOT!!!! don't spout what you've read from others who've posted what they read from someone who posted what they read. intense light can hurt a little. low intensity lighting makes nearly no difference. the shit grows under light, and gets potent, why would it suddenly lose it? oh, yeah.... light. o.0

light really does not fuck up thc like people think it does.

Yes light does break down thc, but very slowly. And its not all light its mostly uv light, which is very low in incandescent or flouro bulbs.
BUT, i would keep them out of the light if possible. In the end it will not matter that much, but light can stop the degredation of chlorophyll. Which can prolong the smell of hay, or grass during cure. Lamp.

hey calm down there guy, dont hurt yourself. It completely affects your plant not in a big way but it does, therefor that to me obviously not you is a problem. So what it grows under light and gets potent, completely diferent process that it goes through once its harvested. Especially if it will remaint in constant periods of light. Not saying you wont get some great/amazing smoke but it would have been better. It will be recieving light continously.
