i started the count when i switched to 12/12 which could explain the 9 weeks, this is my second grow, the first plants i grew[northern lights] all flowered at the same time. These plants[gian haze] started flowering at the bottom while the top was still seemingly in veg stage, is this common? can you harvest the brances off the bottom of the plant, buy cutting the brances off and drying them?.... thanks 4 help,, ps nice pic
