New Grower darkness question

[furrything]

when a plant is cut and hanging, how important is the darkness for drying?
places with total darkness rarely have passage of air, and vice versa. obviously movement of air is more important, so i will prioratise that.
maybe the question is when does the plant interpret light? is it when it has direct light, or illuminated light, like clouds.
but in a shed with no direct light, but i can see, do the trichs still degrade?
my photos are starting to flower because they have the morning and evening light blocked off by walls, so they think its dark, even tho i can see them.

The trichromes are photochemically reactive. This means UV light degrades them. Ever bought a beer in a clear bottle from the front of the cooler and noticed it was skunk? Then had that same beer fresh out of the case and it tasted great. Just the UV from the coolers was enough to break the beer down. The beer in the dark bottles in the same cooler are fine. Apply this to drying and storing you herb.
