harvest is pretty straightfoward and consists of roughly 3 steps:

1) stop feeding. in the last 2 weeks (1 week in organics) of flowering, you want to give it only water, as this will flush remanant fertilizers out of your plant.

2) chop and hang. this is really obvious. cut it at the base and just and the entire plant upside down by a string or similar.

3) level 1 trim. after 1-3 days hanging, go in with some scissors and snip off all fanleaves and other large leaves with no visible trichomes. (save for bubblebags)

after this, you wait another 2-4 days until its stems become brittle, and you can fully trim the buds and then store/cure however you desire.
