Top buds maturing before bottom buds
    #576863 - 08/06/11 06:48 AM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Hi
This is my first post on the forum, so hopefully it is in the right location.
Two plants (Super Lemon Haze) have been flowering under 400W HPS for 6.5 weeks.  One is LST, one is left au naturel.  The top bud on the LST is around 20 inches from the bottom bud and they are all developing fairly uniformly.  The top bud on the natural plant is around 30 inches from the bottom bud and it appears as though the buds that are over 20 inches from the top bud are not as mature (Macroscopically).
So, for the natural one, should the top 20 inches of the plant be harvested first (checking trimchomes) and then raise the remaning portion of the plant, or still harvest it all at the same time?  All of the trichomes are still clear, so maybe by some miracle all the trichomes (regardless of location on plant) will mature uniformly, but it's not looking that way.
All of this being said, when I checked the flowering time for Super Lemon Haze, it says around 10 weeks.  When I look at the LST one, this makes sense, as it looks like it needs a while yet.  The natural one however (at least the top 20 inches) looks like it will be ready much sooner.  Could be genetic variation or just how they have been treated differently.
Anyway, the main question I have is should the top portion of the plant be harvested before the bottom, or is this a bad idea?
Thanks

Ok, thanks guys.  So, if one did have the time and patience, should the top half of the plant be chopped off or should each bud be removed from the main stem, leaving it intact (as best as possible, considering)?  Thanks.
