I use the Carson MicroBrite Plus LED Lighted Pocket Microscope, great for checking trichomes only cost like 14 USD. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Put the loupe right up to your camera lens on your phone. It's difficult but you can get some good shots.

You can also install an app called HiGrade, you pay a 1 time charge and they ship you a tool to add on your phone and with this tool and app you can take photos of the thc and actually read the % of thc that the plant has.

I have a 25mp camera on my samsung, and if you stand at the right distance for it to focus perfectly and you get a way to keep the phone steady, you can zoom in enough when u open the galery, so that you can actually check on trichomes.

a digital microscope. They are a great option, but rather expensive.

Are these calyxes or do I have a herm?I'm noticing these on my plant. They all have pistols coming out of them so I don't think they're pollen sacs. I did find some pistols have changed orange this morning but it could be a fan that was blowing on them (yeah, I know I gotta fix that). 1st grow so I'm concerned.3 years ago

How should I get the buds a lil more crispy? Its not wet but its not dry like it should be...After cutting, I cured my buds for 14 days on 15-18°C and 45-65% humidity. Then when they were really crispy on the outside but sticky on the inside I put them in jars. Now its another 14 days later and the buds don't feel as crispy as before even tho I opened them 2 times daily?Buds. Other

No trichomes during pre-flowerHello, could you guys help me figure out what's going on? On my last grow cycle the plants were producing trichomes like crazy and now these plants look almost like they don't have any trichomes at all. They were super dry and without food for approximately 1 week.Week 7
