Outdooor growing im a newbie

Hello there im kind of a newbie when it comes to growing, I know the basics to planting and all that, but what do I do when I harvest? Do I trim, manicure or, let them hang upside down? Whats the best way? Also im gonna be growing outdoors, and when come times to harvest I have no indoor place to dry them, what are some alternative things I can do to dry them outside?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated.

If the weather is nice outside you can get them in a dark shed and hang them upside down.I have seen new growers with a big bag of moldy mush and it STINKS LIKE HELL. One part of growing new people forget sometimes And if you want to cure i wouldn't dry them out all the way. try and get a spot set up with good vent more and more i think a grow tent with the fan and carbon filter would work get for stealth.
