One plant, different flowering stages

Hello all,

I messed up my balcony Haze this year not paying attention to a street lantern, keeping most of my plant in veg till half October. Then I moved her inside (temps outside dropped to 50F during the day) into a quickly made cabinet. No space for HPS so I put six 25 (real) W CFL's in there with color 827. I know it is not the perfect situation but then again, a backup plan never is.

So the issue I am having now is that 1/5 of the plant looks like almost finished, while the other 4/5 of the plant, has just started to flower. You can see the difference between the buds in the attached pics, and it comes especially clear what I mean, if you look at the main cola and that really nice side cola.

My question/issue is, what will happen with the buds that where already flowering for weeks while the rest of the buds grow? I can tell, although many hairs are brown on the older buds, still new flowers are developing on those buds but I wonder if this will continue to go on. This plant is a Haze and I don't know the exact strain so I guess she will have a flowering time of 14 weeks or so. But since 4/5 of the plants only started to develop flowers since a week (when I put her inside in the closet) and the 1/5 of buds started to develop about two months ago, total flowering time of those oldest buds will be about 24 week.

Sorry for the lengthy story and I hope it's clear what I mean, maybe it's best to flush the plant, then harvest the oldest buds and then start feeding again but I am not sure.


Many thanks in advance,
HC

without flushing and do a water cure (run a search) on the ripe buds. You will lose flavor, but have a very smooth smoke while you wait for the other buds to finish. If you flush, it will slow the growth of the ripening buds a bit.

That sounds like a plan :) Never thought about water curing them although I have read a number of threads about it in the past. This way I could supply nutrients to the plant and not worry about them ruining the almost ready buds :)

And (green) thumbs up for your very nice collection of links related to medical MJ in your signature. I spent the best part of last night reading through those :)
