Lights: 135W UFO LED + 85W CFL (2700k) - to increase to 295W CFL (2700k) in next few days.
Strains: Nirvana - Auto Bubblelicious (did not auto)
Short Stuff - Russian Rocket Fuel (did auto)
Barneys Farm - Auto Sweet Tooth (did not auto)
Day 65 from germinating on paper towels.
I have a question about the lower bud sites, I tried some LST during my first grow, and as they were autos (or supposed to be..) I tried not to go too heavy, I think I have mixed results.. All the plants vegged for just over 5 weeks, with only RRF starting to flower automatically, so I flipped to 12/12, it has been approx 25 days since the flip.

I am presuming I have 3-4 weeks left for the RRF, and a little longer for the rest, could someone please advise if this is about right?
Also, given that amount of time left, and a large increase in lights for the last part of the flowering period, would it be beneficial to harvest in stages?
Either the top cola first when its ripe, then leave the lower sites to develop after; or do I prune and take away some sites now in the hope of boosting the top cola?
Next time I am going all photoperiod and will be much better at keeping the canopy level.
Thank you for your ongoing help everyone.
