I’ve often thought about spray painting my jars white or black, which would eliminate any ambient light from entering the jar during curing. Thoughts?
I place a small 6” oscillating fan at the bottom of my closet circulating air. Not directly on your plants. That will dry them out fast. I have an ac cooled room which stays 60-70 degrees always with humidity 50/55%. The hotter the temps the faster your plants will dry, not allowing the chlorophyll to exit the plant. That’s what leaves us with the hay/grass smell. Never really allowing us to smell the true terpene profile.
I have seen some dark attics that disagree with you.Mold needs light to grow. Freshly harvested weed is very susceptible to mold.

I've seen exceptions in life to almost everything too... Attics are stupid places to dry weed.I have seen some dark attics that disagree with you.

That’s why I place at bottom of closet and hang pants higher in closet. Eliminates the fan blowing directly on them but still keeps the air moving. Yep that’s perfect. Hang the plants as high as possible.When you say that will dry them out fast, you don't mean too fast it'll hurt the outcome? Thats what i'm worried about the most being my first time. I really want them to dry out slow and steady for the best possible taste and smoke. Basically (from what ive gathered) as long as the fan doesn't blow directly on the buds and temps around 60-70 and humidity about 50 to 55% i should be ok?
Cool thank you!That’s why I place at bottom of closet and hang pants higher in closet. Eliminates the fan blowing directly on them but still keeps the air moving. Yep that’s perfect. Hang the plants as high as possible.

Etching primer .....Duct tape 0r Electrical tape would do
Would you have to sand the glass no pun intended so the paint would stick
Source please? Or bro science?That's not accurate. Humans absolutely cannot smell chlorophyll in a plant. Its scientifically impossible, the threshold for olfactory detection requires concentrated amounts.
The answer to the question was posted above, and it seems to be the piece of the puzzle that young growers refuse to grasp and completely ignore: the distinction between life and death. The grass smell is from letting the plant know its injured. All energy is redirected away from fatty acid derivatives that attract humans, towards fatty acid derivatives that attract predator bugs, as the plant thinks its being eaten by bugs. Sadly this reality has reached bro science myth status, along with flushing, curing, and bone dry sticky weed. And it's all related to the same issue: people harvesting while the plant is in full photosynthesis, Npk, water, sunlight, room temperatures, stomata open, the total package that's got kids buying moisture packs to keep their incurable nitrogen-loaded lawnmower weed nice and wet so they can pretend it's dank.
Simply wrapping aluminum foil around the jar will make it dark.Duct tape 0r Electrical tape would do
