The best way for me is to look at how calyxes change shape in final days. You can wait until the calyxes have swollen and pistils have receded.

Looks like it's dying but can't really tell. Leaves shouldn't be dead like that on the bud

Sounds like a stressed plant to me.

Also looks like you have a burn or a lockout on the plant
What is that?

looks to be mold

A ph problem will cause a lockout. Meaning your plant won't get the food that it needs

Need that ph 6.5

Doesn't it depend on if it's a soil or hydro setup? I was under the impression to keep ph betweeb 5.5-6.5 for hydro.

Didn't know he was doing a hydro set up. If so you are rite

I will say one thing, soil makes hydro look like a nightmare when it comes to the nutrient chart. 6.5 PH in soil will net you the ability to uptake all nutrients in the spectrum vs Hydro where you have to sweep the ph.
Honestly I am not sure which method Scrappus is using either, and I wanted to make sure what I was reading on Hydro PH was correct. I had read that uptake chart for Hydro a while back and decided to sweep the full PH range throughout the week.

I've wanted to run a hydro but I read all the time that if you make one fuck up it can blow the whole grow. Soil ain't to hard to fuck up. If you see a problem you can easily fix it. Hydro can just kill a grow
