  3. The reason that the bottom buds don't grow as large is that indoor lighting is not the sun.

    The sun has the same ppfd reading from the bottom of the plant to the top. You're working in a simulated environment that has a very narrow window with optimal output of good grow light that is only about 18" or so max. If you try to get better light to the bottom buds you burn the tops.

    This is the entire reason for all the training methods you see like scrogs, LST, Supercropping, or just topping/fimming. In order to get the most from your plants in an indoor grow room under artificial lighting you need to sculpt them for your grow space.

    You need to create an even canopy no matter what method you use. The more even the better the end product will be and the yield. If you can get all of your major tops in that narrow window where the indoor light makes the best buds you'll get a high yield and mostly nice large colas.

    You also need to lollipop as part of the training. Start at the bottom of the plant and remove all growth from the main stems until your top canopy is only about 18" deep at most. Removing the small buds that don't fully develop will divert growth energy to the main tops that actually make nice buds. They will end up larger then if you kept all the larf on the bottom.

  6. Not bad for a first grow. Looks pretty good. But like others said. You can always harvest the stuff that seems more ready than others. And than harvest the rest later
