White Widow after 6 weeks flowering

Heres my White Widow after 6 weeks flowering.
Whats the best way to cut, trim and dry the buds ?
This is only my second grow, so I dont really know what to do,,, my first grow was pollinated and was pretty much junk, and the buds that were there didnt tighten up or look like normala smoke because of all the seeds...
How do I get the buds to tighten up and look kick ass like everyone elses I see on here ?
Does it happen by itself when it dries out,, or is there a certain process that I should go through..
Im pretty excited here and I dont want to mess this up..
Thanks Guys

i cut the whole plant, and prune all the big fan leaves, leaving the small inner leaves. then i hang for ten days, after that, i clip individual braches, and clip the rest of the chaff off, and stick them in jars for cure.

idk but i do know that that is a nice lookin plant!

nice lookin plant, congratz on your 2nd grow!

Personally i cut the branches off the stalk and trim all fan leaves and little pertruting leaves back flush with the bud. then i have a box set up with strings through it to hang the buds up. any little leaves left will curl up tight to the bud as it starts to dry. when the buds feel kinda crispy to touch cut them from the stems and put in a jar for curing.

looks like chewbacha, i love the WIDS

follow directions exact
1. Dry
2. Package
3. Send to me
4. (me) Happy Happy Fun Times

Thanks for the info..
How long should I let them cure in the jar for ?
Could I use a plastic container instead of a glas jar ?
Do I keep the jars in sun light, out of direct light, or out of the light..

Thanks for the compliment..
That is only my second attempt at growing..
The first was looking even better than this,, but I was doing 3 huge plants and a SOG next to it,, and the SOG had a male in there some where, and ruined everything with the seeds,,,except for the fact that I got a lot of seeds from it...
I didnt know a single thing about growing these wonderful plants, and I did a lot of reading from various websites, and off I went.
I still dont consider myself too smart when it comes to these plants or growing,, I just try to keep it simple, and do what I learned..
I learned the most from the SeeMore Buds videos I watched.
They are awsome, and I recomend them to everyone.
I do however, totally suck at cloning, and that is preventing me from being able to have 4 different grow areas so that I can be growing and harvesting every month..
Thanks again,

nice plant

Looking good. Check out the size of those colas!!
