Ok so one of my plants are done and I've flushed her pretty well. The question I have is where should I dry her an cure her I don't have a dark closet to do this in so that out and the only real safe place would be the grow room but I can't just hang my girls in the veg room can I?
Add a extra heater with humidifier in the space to control your temps around 65*-68* degrees and about 55%-63% humidity. That way it takes em about 10-14 days to dry then you trim and jar.

I have a similar issue with the OP. I have a 4 x 4 x 7 mother tent that is the right temp and humidity on an 18/6 light cycle that I was planning on drying with. The lights are 4' - 4 bulb t5 fixture with a shade aiming down. I was planning on hanging the buds from the ceiling of the tent with no "direct" exposure to the light, but the tent itself is lit up. I'm wondering if this will be a problem.
Everything I've ever heard or read says the darker the better for dying ,curing etc. Light ,even indirect, degrades thc and halts the breakdown of chlorophyll leading to a harsher smoke ,so that's what I've always done. However I haven't had/seen test results comparing dark vs light drying and all I've ever heard/ read about is essentially anecdotal bro science so who knows
Thanks PharmHand, I'm new to growing and this is my first grow. I'm about 4 weeks away from harvest and trying to do the right things. I'm growing some Aurora Indica for my wifes pain relief and to put a smile on my face before going to bed };-) I have read on a couple of other sites that people have dried in the veg tent with no noticeable difference from drying in the dark, but as you said, mostly people say to dry in the dark for the reasons you specified...
