Hi
@KrashAndBurn! Don't forget to flush your medium with plain pH'd water, 7 to 10 days before harvest in soil, this will ensure you a clean product without any nutrient/chemical left in the buds. Harvest in the morning (before the light turns on) if you want terpenes and effects to be at their peak, light and heat degrade trichomes during the day. Regarding the drying process, don't rush, try to dry your buds as slow as you can, you don't want to mess with this final step or you can ruin your product. I like to dry in 2 times, In a 1st time I hang the branches upside down for 7 to 10 days, then I cut the buds out of their stems and lay them down in a drying-net for 7 to 14 days. If you want to prevent the smell from invading your neighbourhood, consider drying in your grow tent, with the lights off but the air extraction (and carbon filter) on. You can also look for a product called "ONA neutralizer", this is really efficient when it comes to destroying odours, but don't put it in the same room than your buds, ONA is so strong it could affect your terpenes, basically your buds will taste like your ONA 😮 Combined with ONA, I also use a mister, with a few drops of essential oils, this embalms my place and does mask the skunky smell. Hope this will help, congrats and enjoy your 1st harvest 👊
