I think most that post trichome pics use a digital microscope. They connect to your phone ithe a micro USB. Should give you a pretty decent range of magnification like 40-1000x.

Good cover? Enough light passing? I place her at inside at night. High risk of budrot?
Is this a good cover? Quite bad weather this week, but i live in northern Europe so we have a mild sea climate. The summer is kinda over but this week is more rainy and cold then usually this time of the year. Does enough light pass the cover? I place her inside a barn at night.

USB Microscope vs 18x Macro-lense attachment
Is a USB microscope really necessary for checking on trichomes, or can a macro-lense attachment with 18x be sufficient? It seems like the USB microscope is a bit overkill.

Indoor or outdoor question
I’m thinking of starting a new autoflower grow. My question is: can you do indoor / outdoor / indoor for the plant without stressing it out? My current tent is in use, but I think it might be free in 6-8 weeks. Or should I just keep it outdoors completely?

Small tent humidity control?
I've been reading that the RH during flower should be <50 and ideally 40-45 late. I've got good air circ, and the RH is around 50-55 atm. Will a mini work to bring that down ~10%, or should I look at external? Or will it make that much of a difference? not much room in there! TIA
