Anybody have any harvesting tips?

Does anybody have good tips for harvesting, once I have deemed my crop is ready for harvest?

What is the best way to remove the buds?

Are there any special precautions I should take when removing the buds?

My advice is dry trim your first time. Wet trim isn't beginner friendly

My golden answer is dry it slow and dark.

As for on how to cut. That's up to you

I clip and flip personally. Short trim wet and the rest dry.

But dry it SLOW

Temp around 70 F, RH in the low to mid 60's, small fan aimed at a wall and away from your buds. Some people like 70 F, 70 RH for 7 days but the RH is a little too high for my comfort.

60F/60%

After 70f for 5-7 days I put in jar for 3 weeks

Sry and burp jars twice a day

I wet trim for starters...
Cut the branches off and go down them removing all the leafs except those with resin.
There's two distinct sort of leafs you'll soon see there's ones with and without resin, once all the primary leaves are off its time to trim the resinous ones, it's good to have a selection of scissors for different stages, take the worst off wet then finish them at your leisure when dried.

A few key items...

When taking the cuts off the plant, plan them so you make little hooks and "V"s as much as possible. This is easy when cutting from the main stem because you use the node corner and main stem to make the hook but, may get tricky with smaller cuts and the top cola. Do that and you don't have to worry about binder clips or anything like that. Also, plan the size of the branches so that they fit in your drying space and buckets (if cleaning).

Use latex gloves and don't get that shit in your eyes. It fuckin hurts.
