i trim the fans off before i take the plant down. then i just hang it as a whole upside down. i come from a tobacco farming area, i dry my crop about the same way. i use a dark area with some air moving, keep it there till the stem snaps in half instead of bending. most of the sugar leave will be laid over the bud like a blanket, it makes them easier for me to trim them off. i put the sugar leaves in a ziplock and off to the freezer till you have enough do whatever it is your going to do with them. there are a lot of ways to accomplish it look around and see what fits you best. now the dq going where its going i would spend a little more time to keep the look you would expect yourself. but for what you keep around its up to you how you trim `em. just a warning if you add heat to the drying process be careful not to over do it. it`ll take the better part of a week for them dry the way i do it. yours being in the screen they may be wound in there so tight you can`t take it as a whole, then you could go the old cloths line route. now you can do some quick drying for samples of course. i just lay my sample near my heat vent on my laptop while i`m surfing, till its dry enough to burn. you can use a lot of things, cable modems, vcr, ect..
well how does it feel. i remember my first chop i was giddy as a school girl.
