Flowering Oddity w/pics

I have posted about this before and have been asked for pics but couldn't accommodate. Now I can.

The bottom of this Hindu Kush plant is maturing faster than the top, at least where the hairs are concerned.

The first three pics are of buds at the bottom and middle of the plant with the last being a pic of the top of the plant. These aren't great quality but should give u an idea. The buds are small due, in part, to the major stress this plant has been through.

My question...is this normal to see a plant mature from the bottom up and, if so, how should I handle the harvest?

let it grow ad then you should handle it well when you smoke it and exhale it

yeah iv had a few plants do that usually the sativa heavy influenced hybryds, even if it still seems behind by harvest just chop all but the main cola and it will finish up so quick coz its concentrating all of it's energy to just the one bud, when i do this it only ever takes like 2-3 days more for it to finish up.

the combo of hair color you mean?totally normal and believe it or not if u cure those correctly you would have some dank smoke, the color variances in the hairs suggest that its a more hybrid down from multiple strains. harvesting should be held up until the main cola is fused with one or two of the buttons under it, especially with any predominant indica kushes. by then you should be able to get some awesome smoke and possibly a great mother plant for cloning if you are so inclined.
