Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of preparing polyethylene compositions comprising polymerizing ethylene in a first gas-phase reactor and polymerizing ethylene in a second gas-phase reactor in the presence of hydrogen; wherein at least one of the first or second gas-phase reactors comprises a first and second polymerization zone; wherein a hydrogen pressure of the first and second polymerization zones are different such that at least a portion of the second ethylene cycles through the first and second polymerization zones and a gas mixture of each polymerization zone is partially or totally prevented from entering the other zone.
