Harvesting methods??

I jhave a dutch passion power plant that is about 6/7 foot tall now and it is well into its flowering period. I think its actually about halfway through.

I hope to expect quite a high yield (can anyone help with this please?).

I just wanted to know what are the appropriate steps that i need to to take before i harvest it. Also what are the nessacary steps that i need to take once i have cut the plant down, i.e drying and curing.

Thanks alot feel free to look at my plant which is in my gallery. again cheers please help!!

The key is harvesting at the right time. I take fans off first then work my way to the smaller stuff.
as big as that is you could walk around it with some clippers till you got down to the buds.
