When I harvested I cut the main stalk at it's base, did not remove anything but major remaining fans from the plant, just hung it in the tent as a whole plant. Sorry but I did not take a lot of pictures of this harvest. But I got some, 
Just under seven days hanging in the tent less two periods where they were put into plastic bags to extract more moisture from the plant. On the forth day they went into plastic bags due to the very low humidity we were having because of a cold front coming in. The 5th day they were removed from the bags and rehung for about 12 hours and they were put into the bag for another 12 hours. Tuesday morning they were removed from the bag and rehung for 12 hours, at which time I began harvest. First began the process of removing the branches from the main stalk, then one branch at a time removed a stem and processed it, this went for about 6 hours and I got three plants completed. Put the other two in a bag for the night and started again Wednesday.
Here is the first plant pulled from the tent, my favorite of the 5, for her lovely purple display although most had varying degrees of purple.
This is how all nuggets were trimmed, they were all removed from the stem and trimmed.
This is 5.45 zips of purple goodness. You can see how much was removed from the buds.
One bud from Wednesdays finish. This was before it was trimmed.
And the final plant finished and ready to go into jars for curing.
Wednesdays two mainstems.
Trichs four days prior to harvest.
Seventeen Qt. jars and one little guy, varying weights.
And now we begin the cure, look at around a two to three week cure. Burp for the first 7 days for around 30 minutes a day then after the 7 days burp three times a week for the next few weeks. This is a new plan for me, hope it works. They do smell nice in the jars.
