Harvest the whole plant at once since you only have one... Hard to get a proper cure if you harvest a couple buds at a time. Also don't plan on drying for four to eight days. One small plant already trimmed and snipped down to nugs which appears to be your choice in manicuring can be ready for jars in two to three days, watch it closely is all, common beginner mistake over drying is. Personally i also trim wet straight to nugs btw. Gets rid of all stinky veg matter immediately and it's faster and easier.
