Nice job bro, nice job.
Only doing one or two plants, I cut each stem off with enough room to wrap a pipe cleaner around the stem, some guys use clothes hangers. Whatever works. At times I've cut the branches down with a hook in the branch so I didn't need anything.
After I cut and before I hang I like to pluck off the big fan leaves or any fan leaves that will come off by hand. Then I wash my buds, you should look into that, after I wash them I hang them, first over night in my tent with lights on below them, then I have a dark closet they go in for a week. Give or take a day or two, then I trim them, and put them in a box/brown paper bag. Leave in there for a few days. Then I put them in a plastic sealed container with my hydrometer. Wait a few days until RH is around 55-60. If it gets up to high I'll open the container and take them out for an hour it do. Then once the RH is stable, mine go in glass jars with a boveda pack. Look into them also.
After they go in jars, they go to another dark space where there opened every few days..
Yes, the smell,, I wish I could capture that also!
Nice work my friend, don't rush it now...
