Loupes and other magnification devices
Zweibelstarted grow question 4 years ago
Do you use a jeweller’s loupe or other magnification device to examine the trichomes before harvesting? I’ve tried a few cheap gadgets I got off Amazon but found them difficult to use. I’m curious whether other people use them. Perhaps my iPhone 11 will suffice?

seeing your photo seem your zoom will be signifiant enough to see trichrome colors later in flowering

There are some that clip onto the iphone camera that are handy because the camera automatically focuses on the trichs.

I absolutely use loupes, macro lenses with a good camera, and even a microscope.
One of the nicer things about cannabis plants is how amazing and differents the subjects can be if you love to photograph them.
Your plant is looking "too young/too green" for harvest, pistils (hairs) are still white so not even browning of pistils, and trichomes cannot be seen but they will turn eventually amber and you will see the shading difference.
Happy smokes!

You can get the jewellers magnifying glass or a small microscope on amazon.
Btw, Your plants isn't ready for harvest yet. Wait until thricomEs are 60% amber.
Happy harvest!!!!

When to harvest?Beginner question:
Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange.
Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already.
RQS says 8-9 weeks. Starting week 9 soon.

Is My Critical AUTO a Photoperiod Strain?I have 3 auto strains, 2x Thunderfuck and 1x Critical. The Thunderfuck plants bloomed normally and have been harvested. The Critical, except for a few light pre-flowers on one stem, hasn't bloomed. I suspect it might be a photoperiod. Should I put it in the tent at 12/12 or 18/6?

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
