How old is she, and I’m not seeing any white hairs do you have a way to inspect and pic the trichromes? The ones I see are looking milky/amberish, if it’s not time it’s very close imo.

The first pic you posted is showing signs of either bud rot or spiders. I will mark up where I see webbing and repost.

She is about 25 weeks old oreoz. I dont see any mildue?

No i dont have a loupe or magnifying glass to see

Should i chop it down now so no more do this?

The drying branch looks like it had the sap supply reduced or cut off. Was the stem damaged where it attaches to the plant? If yes then it died from lack of water and nutrients caused by the damaged stem.

You can use a mobile phone to take pictures of the flowers and then expand them on your pc to see what is happening. Don’t use the zoom feature on the phone, just take pictures at the maximum resolution and upload to your computer. Then look at them. You might need to take a lot of pictures to get a clear one that is in focus.

Mo the stem looked strong just darker in color

If it is mold or spiders can do a chop/ wash. Chop for mold, wash for spiders. As for chipping it down now I’m not sure so I would wait for more experience grower to chime in I’m sry. I can only say if it was me I would an then do the procedure needed to save it.

If there were spider mites on the plant they should have spread to the rest of the plant in a week or two. The plant would have cobwebs all over it and you see tiny little red dots in the webs. Spider mites tend to infest the ends of the plants first where the new growth it because it’s easier for them to bite into.

You can make an insecticidal wash for mites and other insects.
Add 2.5 tablespoons of liquid soap and 2.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. Stir it up and spray it on the plants. Make sure you spray the underside as well as on top of the leaves. Don’t spray the flowers if you can help it because you lose the trichomes.

Don’t spray during the middle of the day and rinse it off an hour or two after.

If you wet the soil a lot then add some liquid fertilizer after washing the insecticidal soap wash off the plant.
