Flowering lower parts of plant
I know the top flowers first, but how do you get the bottom to start flowering, can you wait for the top to finish, cut it off and keep going.

It would probably be stressful on the plant. If you cut the upper portion of the plant off, you should probably re-veg the remaining portion of the plant for a while before re-flowering, or just use the lower buds to make hash. Or you can tie the plant down so the light hit's the buds more evenly.

You can. Or you can get a couple CFLs and have them concentrating on lower growth instead of the upper, that should pack on a couple more grams. Then, when it's time to harvest, just cut the top and keep the plant rooted -- let the lower stuff grow in a little.

BHG i was thinking the same thing.... that plant must have been starving for light because your lower branches are non-existant, so i would have to conclude stretching.
Very nice top buds though, and the plant would look better and yield more if you had used those lights sooner.
Props on growing other plants too, most ppl wouldnt waste the space LOL,

Flowering lower parts of plant
It was my first grow so i did a few things wrong, but i have bud
For my next grow the tomatoes r going outside and i am using the space but when i started i only had 1 plant and though i might aswell not waste the space.
I have trimmed off quite a few branches from the bottom but left a couple with there own lighting just to c what happened.
In the end its all good and i have gained experience for my next grow.

Flowering lower parts of plant
hey cell..
the entire plant should really flower at the same time.. within a day or so..
if it is not flowering at the same time
you are not getting adequate penetration to the lower foilage....
the plants are to big or you need more light... or more space between your plants.. or side lighting
there is a master of side lighting o these boards.. and I mean MASTER
and maybe he will see this thread and tell you about plants that get side lighting that yield more than 1lb!!!!!!!!
love

Garden Knowm is talking about me, of course he's far too humble to ever admit it.
