dont worry too much about stressing the plant by manipulating it. sounds ready, pull all toasted fan leaves off, give it a good flush, then let it go a few days to dry out, watch for nanners, but dont stress about it. harvest= take the rest of the fan leaves off and hang to dry 4-7 days depending on heat and humidity. some people dont flush at all, dont be surprised if others tell you not to. go with what you feel comfortable.
