Hey there DogterB, looking at trichomes is a whole thing. Try looking through a few different places on the plant. You want to hit up like the side colas top and bottom, the main cola top and bottom, take a look at the flowers and the sugar leafs, there will be some places either than others to measure. Sometimes it's necessary to have a " stabilizer " to take the measurement aswell... i just use my own fingers for that. You're doing good man, thanks for the pictures. Remember though :you're doing this for you, so as long as you can take the measurements for yourself , that's good enough like you dont need to get a headache from taking pictures ya get me? anyway, you're basically 70/80% cloudy if not more already. Hope this helps ! 🚀
