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.

Bud too close to the light
Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

Should I defoliate?
Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊

Trichomes. Are mine clear or cloudy? I have always had a hard time telling. Please let me know if you see any amber also.
Please rate each picture. The first two pictures go to their own plants but the last two are from the same plant. These plants are about 3 days from breeder time. I am waiting until they are cloudy and probably 5-10% amber.

Do you think this beauty is a hermaphrodite one? It seems it's a male and if I stress it by defoliating the stems it can become a she. What do you think?

checked the trichomes and they were a little more amber than I anticipated 40% on top buds. Still want to give her one more good flush which would be 2 days from now, before I harvest. Will I still be good or will the trichomes bust by the end of the next flush?

Do I have a Hermie?
I have two girls from seeds from last year's outback crop. They are two absolutely different growing phenotypes. The one I called bastard #2 was stretching and stretching and I've done a lot of training with it and I just noticed these little balls forming under the buds.

Are these the so called 'bananas' that appear on hermies?
Hi guys, has this plant hermied? About two days ago the little yellow things appeared on the buds (probably caused by light/heat stress). What do I need to do now?
