The last couple Sour Dubbs I grew I tried just doing what I had been doing for a long time, (for the most part), with the first one, which consisted of hanging the whole plant but, I wasn't concerned about exposing it to light while it was hanging, the closet was opened frequently, and with the second one I made a point to try and make sure it stayed in the dark while it dried and it definitely made a difference. Both were grown exactly the same way and for the same amount of time, (the second was flipped a little bit later), and there's no doubt the one kept in the dark tasted better.
It's tough being so limited on space, (only because I don't have the ability to drag my sorry ass up and down the stairs), the closet that I dry in is also where I keep all my growing media so, it makes it tough since it's the nature of things that when stuff is finishing up it's time for other stuff to be getting planted or transplanted so, I need to access that stuff. I'm making it work though.
