Hey, I have a few plants in my closet nearing harvest time. The problem is that I have no access to the colas and tops that are up at the ceiling. I cant even see them lol. I'd risk snapping branches in order to bend or pull them down to look at.
So I can only see the trichomes and pistils of all the lower branches. The question is, do the colas ALWAYS mature and get ready to be cut before the lower branches?
The only way I can check my colas is to cut them down so i'm gauging their readiness by the lower buds. Any pros can help me out here?

as a simple answer i would say yes. depends on the lighting tho.

u cant get a ladder or step stool, to check???/ i mean how can u not see the tops??? are u a midget or something?

hahah! no seriously, the setup I have in my closet prohibits me from seeing anything up near the ceiling. It's a combination of many things. I have tried reaching my arm under and then up around the closet doorway using my arm as a periscope with camera-phone in hand. I am seriously baked right now and I realize that last sentence is ridiculous, but it took a long time to word properly and I didnt wanna scrap it.
Basically the plants are far too big for the far too small space they are in. I can't get my head up there from any direction because 3 sides are blocked by wall and the 4th is the closet entrance which is a wall protruding a foot and a half from the ceiling. A basic entrance. The size of the plants prevent any pushing and moving them to allow me to see anything. So other than poor quality pictures of my colas, the next time im gonna see them up close is when i reach my arm up and snip em off.
btw Kush, do you think the colas are ready to cut first?
