Anything with minimum 50 to 60x zoom, would work for viewing trichomes. - Personally I use a wifi microscope that can do 50 - 1,000x zoom. Just because I could.. It's a tad more expensive than one with just 50x zoom tho.

Just get a cheap digital microsope from Amazon that can be connected to your smart device. It is way better than a loupe.

2 outdoor: 1 flowering 1 not
I have two big outdoor plants, same soil, same environment, same watering and different genetics (but similar). One is flowering well, and the other is only showing preflower with no buds whatsoever. This is an urban area with some small amount of light pollution.

Ripen? Or straight to flush?
Nute swap is in two days - the mystery seed is ready to flush I think. But I'm not sure about this OG Kush. Normally I would Ripen next - but should I go ahead and flush along with the mystery seed instead? Thoughts? Thanks

Kann sie wirklich schon reif sein und woran kann es liegen?
Hallo zusammen! Hat evt. jemand eine Idee, warum das Blümchen (Bild 1,2,3) schon fast am Ende der Blüte ist, obwohl der Hersteller 2 bis 3 Wochen mehr angibt? Eine Zweite Pflanze (Bild 4, 5) im gleichen Zelt passt von der angegeben Blütedauer. Braucht also noch gut 14 Tage.
