I plan to harvest them by removing one cola at a time and stringing them up on hangers and/or clothesline after doing a (hopefully) quick hand manicure. The way these are growing so far, all of the buds are above the lower screen and it doesn't appear that they are going to stretch to reach the upper screen. That means they should be able to be reused.

So to describe the process in more detail: cut the stem just above the lower screen, hold cola (using latex gloves to make finger hash/resin collection easier) to manicure, then take a sturdy needle and thread (or fishing line), push the needle+thread thru the stem, and hang them to dry on a clothesline inside a drying cabinet by either tying off the thread into a loop or using clothespins to attach to the line.

Hope that makes sense... let me know :weedpoke:
