Deaner,

You have everything correct.
First step is place plant in a dark room for 3 days, no trimming. This makes the plant think it is dying and to help protect its seeds it produces all the resin it can. They will come out of the closet sticky like fly paper.

After this then trim the plant of all fan leaves and cut the tips off the small bud leaves. Save these cutting if you want and make hash or hash oil out of them.

Then cut at the stalk and hang for one week in the closet.

You can quick dry a plant at this point, I did just to give me some smoke and slow dried the rest.
