Im going to harvest soon. I have harvested before, but they was before any of my plant went to BHO. Is there anything I should do different to the stuff I plan on running?

Cut it down. Toss the fresh-cut, wet trim/buds for BHO directly in the freezer overnight. Once it's good and frozen, take it out and blast it as rapidly as you can. This freezing reduces chlorophyll and waxes from being extracted along with the good stuff. Do this and you'll get nice tasting, whiter extract
Keep all the blasted material and make butter for edibles with it. Making butter extracts most of the remaining THC and cannabinoids.

Another way is to cut the plant at the base, pull off the fan leaves, and hang upside down in a cool dry place for 5 to 7 days, or until the small sticks snap when bent. We extract it at that point, while it is still rife with monoterpenes.
Fresh frozen produces an intensely aromatic creme ala creme extract, but at a low yield rate per cycle, due to the added bulk of the water. I do it for small amounts of concentrates, but turning whole harvests into fresh frozen extract is beyond my available time.
