is it normal for the lower buds to look ready?

"When you think its ready, wait two more weeks"

Have the same motto but I normally last a week lol

Because your description is vague as hell and gauging ripeness is dependent on a lot of visual clues other than brown pistils. Pistils can be brown for a number of reasons unrelated to flower maturity...pistils alone are not a good indicator of how ripe a plant is. When a flower is ripe the pistils should be receeding not just turning brown.

That's....actually a fair point. See if the first person said THAT id have likely just said oh ok no worries. But she wanted to be condescending and rude. But anyway I just quickdried a couple of the lowest buds off the branches I pulled and even they knocked my block off lol tasted a bit like hay but to be expected when I quickly but they were solid little things so I think they were pretty ready

I used to go by pistils for years then it was trichs and magnifying glasses.
Now i am lot more confident I go mainly by how much the hairs have receded back into the bud and I get more yield this way as they are left a touch longer hence they swell like fuck at the end.
For years I was pulling according to pistil colour its no wonder I wasn't getting the yields I was after.

yeah ive always gone by pistil color I need to get a magnifying glass but ill bear in mind about the hairs receding a couple of you guys have mentioned that

Yeah patience isn't a virtue for me haha but I don't wanna fuck my harvest by being impatient

In my experience it's normal for some plants to finish from the bottom up.

That's good to hear it does make more sense, to me anyway. Smaller branches, quicker to mature.

Since I've been pulling plants this way I seem to be yielding more it def adds weight in the end

Plus a higher % is fully mature.
