Lighting During Trimming

Hi,

My question is about harvesting and lighting. Upon harvesting the plant which will be done before the lights turn on to maximize THC levels, how can I trim and manicure the buds while keeping the absolute most of my THC?

As it is scientifically proven that THC degrades in light, how can i trim in the dark to maintain something close to my original levels of THC?

Is this even necessary or will the THC levels only be effected by intense light, such as being right up to a light source. Would a CFL in the opposite corner of a room effect the THC levels in my bud? As that would provide ample light to trim with.

If my questions are too confusing, reply and I will try to explain more thoroughly.

Thanks in advance,

Use a green light. Green is generally has the lowest absorption rate by plants. Otherwise let your plants sit in 72 hours of darkness before you harvest.

I have never heard of of trimming with lights on affecting potency, but then again I've never heard this question before.
