62 degrees is fine. I think UV is what’s messes it up.

So I can just leave the light off. The natural temp is 62 at about 40-45% humidity this is my first grow so just trying to get it right

What are you’re daytime temps?
You usually want 7-10 days hanging...
Do you bud wash?
Would also recommend a better trim job. Just asking for mold.

I can trim whenever I’m not familiar with the process through
Plenty of folks hang the entire plant without mold problems. Myself included. Mold only starts if you let it into your room to begin with. With the rh under 60% your risk is minimal.
62°f is nice. Lower temps are better they preserve more of those yummy terpenes were all chasing. Humidity is a little low, it may dry pretty quick. Be ready to put it into jars and start burping after about 3 days.

Yea I figure tonight or tomorrow I will trim them up whenever I have time even if they hang another day.
No. Bud washing is not water curing. Hence the two different names. There's a thread somewhere on here. Man it would be nice if they'd sticky these popular threads like every other forum does.
Most of us wash even though we don't spray anything. Anything grown outside should be washed
I hang mine with almost all the leaves for the 1st 3 days. But I keep fans blowing on them so Humidity doesn't cause mold / bud rot. After 3 days I remove all the leaves & hang it again til the branches are crisp enough to break between 2 fingers. Then i jar it. Usually takes about 5 - 7 days of drying for me before I jar. Plenty of ways to dry it though.
