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.

Fox tails on buds
How do I know when to harvest with the addition of the fox tails? I'm unsure if now is a good time to harvest or if I should wait some time for the fox tails.

After smoking these plants I've noticed that #2 has kinda a bad taste even tho it smells alright. Why is this? premature? not flushed right? Just curious so I don't make these mistakes again.

Buds look weird
Hey guys, anybody know what’s up with my plant ? Third week into flowering since Saturday. Yesterday evening I lollipopped the plant and now 90% of the buds look like the buds in the first picture. The second picture is how they looked before.

pistils fell off. Buds looking good?
These upper calyxes just dont have any pistils anymore. Whats that? The trichomes have been fully milky with almost no amber for 2 weeks now. I harvested 2 small buds a few days ago. How do the buds look furthermore?

How long between the sugar leaf trichomes turning amber and the bud trichomes turning amber?
So I'm noticing on my leaves, many of the trichomes are amber - perhaps 20-30% average, and up to 50% on some. However, the buds have not gotten there yet. Approximately how long before the buds catch up? PS: are these trichomes cloudy or clear? I have an inexperienced eye. 😇

When to chop
Hi growers! 😃 In your opinion, based on the last photos, how soon should I chop? (most of the leaves are still green and some white pistils continue to emerge from the buds)

Cheese autoflower Amber trichromes on leaves but white hairs. Harvest or wait
Cheese autoflower is starting to show amber trichromes on sugar leaves not buds. Like quite a few. Still has lots of white hairs. Very few other harvest signs. Should I start to flush and harvest. Possibly sequencial harvest ?? Or give it a little longer.
