i am a new grower and im wondering for harvest if what i plan on doin is correct

1. chop the plant cut all branches seperate
2. cut all fan leaves off
3. tie strings across teh top of a box and hang buds into box
4. cut hold on the side with fan on low blowing in
5. cut hold on the other side with fan on low blowing out...wait about 10 days or until the stem snaps then manicure with scisors and put in a jar for another week

ANY HELP?

I cut all fans leafs off then next day before lights on I harvest. First I cut a branch off then hang it upside down for easy triming, I take off all bud leaf and save it for butter and all small buds too. I snip one branch off at a time to make it easy. I manicure before drying, then Hang to dry less thatn one week I check on the 4th day and then again everyday from there. Once dry (stem break) I jar in a mason jar (cure) for 2 weeks - 4 weeks. Opening jar three times a day for first week, then once or twice a day second week. Third week should be completely dry.

Why 3 days in the dark? It only takes 12 hrs or less for all sugars to go down to roots? Are you doing this for another reason? Do share.

what if i were to cut the branches off a outdoor crop? would you just cut the branches and than bring them in and hang them in the dark for a day or two?

that is not true, when you leave it lightless for 3 days the plant senses a need for survival and uses the last of its nutrients. The sugars get dissolved when slowly cut off each branch.
