So...i have no idea what strain she is but the trichomes are milky/ready (she's been in the dark for 2 days)...and she grew this way without any training or trimming...having never experienced this size of cola do i need to do anything different as far as harvesting a single stalk plant and drying a huge dense cola???

I would break that entire cola up. I personally wouldn't risk hanging the entire thing as is the inter-nodal spacing is too tight and if you get just a tiny mold in one spot it will grow up the inside and make a bud rot nightmare. Just use a drying rack or one of those hanging net things and snip it apart and gently set them all on the rack. Airflow is key also.

hang the buds up in the rack, if you lay flat youll get flat spots, helps to rotate but meh.

i wouldnt lay them down at all, id hang them, you CAN rotate them but meh, fuck that, hang it.
I think boogie was talking about a mesh drying rack. The mesh net conforms to the buds' shape so it won't lose it's shape. I use one for drying herbs other than cannabis.

It kind of depends if you are gonna dry trim or wet trim. If you wet trim then you gotta be more careful laying them sideways on the rack. If you dry trim (aka leave the shaggy on them) then it doesn't matter as much. As long as its on a rack or net its cool I do it all the time. Once you nip off all the sugar leaves the flower underneath is usually fine you hardly see any flat spots at all. Obviously hanging is always preferred but if you end up having a handful of leftover single nugs you can toss them on the rack its fine.

thanks for the clarification, i only used it a few times with wet trim, so that makes sense
