Just leave it in dark for 7-10 days with leaves on then snip.
After they have hung trim into closed containers.

I had one, but it went out. I now just keep the flaps open and unzipped occasionally

Leave the leaves on, isn't better to trim them before you hang them to dry, so they'll dry faster and it's easier to trim before they're dry? I know my last harvest I left them on, and it was a bitch to trim the leaves off. but mine were really leafy.
Also Imhungry, you're going to need to get an exhaust fan, or a dedicated AC unit, If you don't you'll never have a good grow.
I've been working on getting an exhaust fan, I just have to get shit paid off; than I'm good. Even if it's just a box fan I throw on top of my tent, I'd be happier than I am now with the set up. although I'd prefer a inline fan.
Growing on a really tight budget sucks, along with being paid every two weeks because you can't really do what you want to do!
Here's a list of things I'm looking forward to getting:
4X4 tent
Inline exhaust w/ carbon filter
7-band bloom booster (600 watts instead of my current 180)
Another duct fan to run from outside to the bottom part of my tent to bring in fresh air.
4 clip on fans (one for each post)
Humidity dome so I don't have to worry about mites again
And an air-4 to control the humidity, temp, lighting, etc.
I'd love to set my other tent up and have a Seedling, Vegging, and Flowering tent, but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
I feel pretty accomplished with everything considering where I started from, but I'm not going to feel great until I have a few great seeds&clones, a tent that will hold about 8-12 plants, and a set up that is 100% controllable, and my plants look healthy and strong.
This grow has taught me a hell of a lot

You can clone and veg in the same tent, there's nothing wrong with it. Depending on your exhaust fan, you might not need to have a fan pushing and pulling, just 1 that will pull the air out and into the filter. I like the 4 fans idea, especially if you make it to where they make like a swirl, and not all blow into the center.
I've been doing research for my 4x4 and and going to LED, and it might be best if you get 2x300w LED's, rather than the 1x600w. LED's say they're a certain wattage, but if you look at the actual power draw, it's almost half sometimes. Majority of the articles I've read said it's best to have 2 or more at a lower wattage, than 1 large one. It's not like using an HPS or MH.

I actually wanted to run both 600 watt lights to cover my whole tent, than only the bloom boost on the final two weeks.

Those buds look pretty good bro. Looks really wet still though?
They were, I just cut them and manicured, and now they are drying, and thanks man

Keep them in the dark like your closet, but keep a fan blowing to move the air, NOT ON THE PLANTS (you don't want to dry them out prematurely). Once they feel dry, and the smallest limb isn't very playable, that's when you trim them and put them in Mason jars.
3-4 days of darkness will start at 12:00am tonight
Here's a good guide for curing.

I've never heard of doing any of these things (minus the 24-48 hours of darkness before harvesting).
I tried researching, and didn't find much

If you follow it, be careful, everyone has their own ways of doing things. Just because it works for them, doesn't mean it'll work for you.
I didn't plan on it, just wanted too see other people's opinion on the method he's using.
I do need to flush my plant as the weed popped while smoking, and didn't taste very good; yet she's suppose to be covered up for another 3-4 days.
Once I let her receive light, I plan on chopping. I don't want to flush now and leave in the dark/cold tent because it will never dry out ..
Apart from my AO I have this little guy. He's a medical seed(not sure had a little baggies for years i guess)
She's been alive for about a month now. I topped her and tried some lst. One top grew way larger than the other so as of now I'm just trying to catch up.
Watering with regular tap water and add 5Ml of superthrive and a scoop of the Stumptea veg booster.
I was running under a 600 watt white led , but switch too my T5 2bulb (4,000) lumens or so.
I plopped a few seeds in next to her; don't really expect them to sprout , but it's better than them just laying around
