Having the lights on them to use up chlorophyl is'nt exactly proven - if i'm not mistaken, alot of growers dry them in the dark. and have no problems, anyone else have anything to say on that note?Well dilema, I say Wait as long as possible but in the next 2-3 days since you must cut them. Can you keep them under lights while drying them (Or rather have lights under them facing UP so that they use as much of their remaining chloraphyl as possible. I believe It is the Chloraphyl that makes the smoke HARSH so make it use as much as possible. That and Nutes thats why people reccomend flushing.
I believe it IS a personal preferance, I can taste chemicals in things, so therefore I prefer not to taste the chloraphyl or nutes (which some people say they can and some say they can't)Having the lights on them to use up chlorophyl is'nt exactly proven
