when it comes time to harvest, what is the best school of thought? I am very new to growing, and I just want to be sure to have all the kinks ironed out before my harvest comes up so i don't ruin the whole batch.

What exactly do you want to know?

theres 2 good ways you can chop the whole plant and hang it to dry for a week and half or so depending on the density of the buds. or you can cut the buds fresh then dry them till the outside is dry to the touch but the center is still moist and put them in jar or container of some sort and put in over night then open the next day and air them out for a day then close it back up and do again a couple of times for a few days to sweat them and they should be good to go but what ever you do dont quickdry them you will waste your buds.

when drying you shouldn't really allow the fan to blow directly onto the buds, can dry them out too quickly. As far as i can make out the slower and more evenly the bud dries the better the taste and potency. Good luck and happy toking
