Harvest and Hash questions

First time grower and I have harvested my first girl. I have 3 more but this one seemed to be finishing earlier than the rest and seemed to have some bug issues on some of the buds(outside grow). Anyways, I have a couple of questions. 1. Is it ok to start curing the smaller buds before the larger ones as they seem 'crisp" after 36 hrs of drying. 2. I am trying my first attempt at hash and I incorrectly ass-umed that all of the plant material would float to the top. So, when I syphoned the buckets, there was still considerable amount of leaves, etc. at the bottom. I restrained and combined the contents of the 2 buckets which left me with 3-4 inches of "water" on the bottom. Have I hosed myself by restraining? how long do I let it sit this round before syphoning again and transferring to the mason jar?
