Question when it comes time to harvest

i have got a few different questions i wanna ask here and hopefully get a lotta of different opinions from a lotta different from there growing experinces.
when the plant is harvested and is ready for drying what would be the best way of drying the plant whole??? i have heard from a few people just pull the plant straight outta the ground and hang it upside down in the cupbard, from other people i have heard of boiling the roots in a pot full of boiling water with sugar for a while before hanging to dry, have also heard from other people to just cut the main stem bout 4-6 inches above ground level so the mother plant can regrow again,
any information from all of you would be muchly appreciated

The most common seems to be cut good size branches and hang upside down..and cure in jars after.
My friend did the whole root ball....what a mess....I'd use molasses during budding to fatten them up....read the FAQ on harvesting & curing.....also flushing....
With your extended growing season you might be able to re-veg, or at least finish all the bud growth...??
LUCK

i was actually kinda hopin for reveg so when next season comes round i got nice big head start, but when my plants are in the veg stae i leave them from anywhere from 2 to 4 months dependin on the season and weather, all my plants start there life in the soi, yes thats right i dont germinate the seed, i just put it straight into the soil, i keep tjem in pots for the first few weeks of there life until they are ready to be transplanted into several diff patches around my yard of which i have prepared for them

I just cut mine at the stem. Trimmed the leaf material off and placed in a cup for later use. Kept all of the bud attached to the stem and hung it in my closet with a fan on it. Does it mater if it is left in light or dark? Just trying to get a few days of open air drying before I put it in a jar.

I cut the stem right above the soil. Enough to leave a nice handle on it for trimming the leaves. I'm no pro though. I just chopped my first official plant. The other chop was pre-mature and hermie so I don't count that.

As I cut I thought, I should have let it reveg but it was such a weak plant the entire time I don't think it would have revegged. I do plan on trying that with one of my chops though.

when my next plant is ready to harvest i was gonna try and let it reveg, but i was just wondering if i do want it to reveg should i cut it at the main stalk few inches above the soil and also if i should leave any leaves on it
