Curing. and When to Cure

So like I previously stated, I grew my plant into a 4 1/2 foot monster! she has been flowering for 6 weeks now and I was wondering if shes done...I would pick her now as it seems that the buds on the top are done (more than 50% of the white hairs have turned brown.) However, the stems on the buttom that I should have probably picked off are now huge and not even 30% done, (less than 30% of the hairs on the bottom branches have turned brown.) Does 6 weeks sound about right for a plant this big?

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any good links for a curing station / box.

You cure after you bud has fully dried out.
