Hi Everyone,
I wanted to ask some advice on what to do about my plant that has less developed buds on the top. The plant was growing outside until it was too cold to do so. The bottom buds are several feet from those on top and have orange pistils; the top pistils are all white.
Will i have to harvest in different phases? Here are some pictures of what im trying to describe. This is my first time ever growing so any input would be so much appreciated.

Check your tricomes to see how mature those bottom buds are.

Quite a stark difference tho. If bottom are ready I’d take them off so the plant can do use on maturing those top buds.

I have a similar problem using LEDs

Seems the light needs to be farther away from the canopy,. My tent height is the problem. Need ~ 30" above the canopy

Thanks guys. Some of the leaves are yellowing; mostly the tips of the leaves.
What's that indicative of? Im thinking it could be the natural aging of the plant since its been growing since july. I kept it outside until october and it grew really stretched out.

Looking good, calvin.
Like Leather said, it just needs some more time. I've done staggered harvest on plants with no issues-just get some way to get a close look at the trics and let that determine when it's time.

Its stressed/kinda revegging, gonna take extra time to finish and wont be as good as if unstressed.
Thanks Cookie, makes sense that it would be stressed. I had to chop the top off it fit it in my 7' grow tent. Pretty sure the top buds are way too close to the light. They started flowering all over again on top

You are in a less than ideal spot, with the leaves yellowing and its gonna still be awhile and its close to the light. Maybe a mild dose of ammonia nitrate foliar will keep all the leaves from shriveling while you wait for the extended finish. Also, dont judge by pistils, wait for buds to swell or look at trichome color.
