Lower braches and tricomes not as ready as top, despite lighting under/on lower branches. Can more light on them help all pistols and tricomes be ready at.

My girl #1 is about a week or so away from harvest. But I noticed the pistols on top are alot closer than the lower branches despite puting lower upfacing lights to make sure the whole plant gets light. My question is does anyone know a trick to get those to develop faster or no?

Having lights facing upwards is pointless, leaves need light to strike their upper surface. Light needs to come from above, not below. Having all buds all the same ripeness at the same time won't ever happen. Best to harvest the whole plant when the majority of flowers are ready, staggered harvest rarely produce buds at the same quality as the first harvested buds, there just isn't enough plant left to have a normal metabolism to be able to finish the remaining/left over buds properly. Hope this helps,......... Organoman.

Yeah I agree with treat_them_gently, but dunno what you're intending to do. Personally, I would use minimal chopping, as in, cut as few times as possible (major parts of trunks/stems) and harvest the major parts that are "ready". What's left will then get the rest of the plant's/roots' focus and obviously result in that getting more light too.

That is how your buds ripen top to bottom. Should be fine just ride out the flush if your doing one and harvest as scheduled.

Hey @LesClaypool_777 , i would harvest the buds that are ready and then give the rest a couple more days ;D its like harvesting tomatoes , sometimes they arent all ready at the same time .
