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.

On two of my plants I found some male flowers. I want to know what to with them and if they minimize the harvest. Please tell me some information. Unfortunately I can't add pictures so it would be helpful to look at the pictures of week 13. Thank you and happy growing!

Could this be mildew?
Hi all, I've been stressing out about high humidity levels in my tent, and a chemical smell when I smell my fingers after running them through the buds. Could this be mildew? Or just very frosty buds? On the microscope I see thin "hairs", but looks like undeveloped trichomes...

Brown shriveled pistils
Why are these pistils turning brown? Some bud sights look perfect but others have these shriveled pistils. Tips of the leaves aren't burnt at all so I don't think it's nutrient burn.

What causes airy buds outdoors?
I noticed that all my sativa doms develop airy buds/popcorn/singlecalyx/dr ginspoon kinda buds oudoors. I dont really like that cause of the stem to bud ratio. Anything that could make them buds more solid and less airy? Apart from nutrients, this allready grown wit extra Pk1314

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?
As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.
