Yes it normal for some strains. The THC percentage is not the same as on a flower but it's still there.

You need to provide the same power of light to all sides of the plant to grow evenly. I'm just guessing but I bet 98% of the time people only light from the top and that is where they get their numbers from of the top 1/3 because that's how much light penetrates in a normal grow.

The mail stock will hold more trichomes and a higher percentage of THC in them then the other parts of the plant will. The cola is where the antioxidants are that control a lot of the growth and other characterâ??s of the plant. (Itâ??s like the general in charge)

That's why when you crop the main cola the plant stays short and bushy.
