So this is my first grow.. its white widow in an aeroponic setup under a 400W MH/HPS

I'm in the 8th week of flowering (wednesday will be 8 weeks) i was planning on harvesting saturday, as the top buds look ready.. I'm seeing some cloudy trichs (no amber yet).

However, the bottom of the plant has several buds which are nowhere near ready (plant is probably 4-5 feet tall).

What is the best way to harvest so everything is at its peak? I wanted to cut the top buds and branches off so light can reach the bottom, but i'm worried it will over stress the plant. Do i have to just remove the buds and leave the branches? How much of the leaves can i remove?

Sorry the pictures arent very clear. One is the "Ready" buds and one is the buds at the bottom which clearly arent

Thanks
Shane
