When do I harvest my plants and what are the best ways to know I am ready to harvest? Can you see trichomes with 8x digital zoom well enough to determine if you should harvest?

A 30x jewelers loop is a great investment! Look for 20-30% amber trichomes on your buds! This is your harvesting sweet spot! Do not look at the sugar leafs! Happy Harvesting!

Hello from Russia! It is impossible to determine the maturity of marijuana by the color of trichomes, everything is accurate, guess on the coffee grounds! No microscope will tell you when to assemble. It is easy to notice by eye! Even when the above trichomes become marijuana amber color, they can continue to gain weight and density of the flower. Watch the maturation of the white antennae on the inflorescences. As soon as the new antennas cease to be born, and the old ones turn brown or opal, then your plants are ready. Judging by the photos from your diary, you need to grow at least 4-5 weeks. Do not rush to harvest early. In a few weeks, the most important plants in life. I hope I helped you!

Hi man this is something I've found a real challenge and this is what works for me. I've tried jewellers loupe, usb microscope and magnifying glass but I couldn't get around them although my eye site is not the best. So I have the huewai p30pro mobile phone and it is the best pictures I've been able to take before. Hope you find the one that works for you🌱👍
