Drying in the flower room

What effects are there from drying in the flower room with 12/12 light cycle? Does the plant continue to ripen until its dried?

Light and heat degrade the THC. Don't let the light shine on drying/curing cannabis.

I use a cardboard box and wooden stakes + hanger clips to hang the herb from.

I built a small drying box from an old kitty litter bucket. Painted it black to keep the buds dark.

Ive decided to hang it up inside a large box. Did the job good. Thanks for the suggestions.
