i chop the entire plant from the trunk. i then pull off all the large fan leaves that have no frost on them at all and toss them. i then take twine attached to wall hooks on opposite sides of the room and hang the entire plant upside down. i then take one large top at a time from as close to the main trunk as possible and with a smaller branch sticking off of it so i can hang it upside down on the twine and trim it. underneath i have black trash bags laid out flat to catch all the clippings. i do that to every main branch until the whole plant is done. i let them hang for 3 days in that room, and then clip the nugs off of their branches and brown bag the nugs for 2 more days. THEN i jar up the nugs in mason jars and move them around to breathe a couple of times a day.
