Hi :)
Today I got a cheap clip on microscope for my phone camera to check the trichromes. (Sorry for the pretty bad quality) It‘s hard for me to judge if the trichromes are clear or cloudy. Some of them are amber already (~20%)
Could this plant be harvested today?
Thank you :)
It looks like you have around two weeks or more to go. This all depends on how you like your smoke. The more amber the trichomes the more of a couch lock effect it will have on you.
It’s best to check your plant on Multiple buds and multiple points on the bud. Sugar leafs will always show a more developed and mature trichome opposed to the dense inner bud trichomes.
I would suggest checking again next week in multiple places and judge again, if you are still seeing lots of clear then check again in a week. In two weeks you could start checking every day because at the end of maturity, they can change fast.
I hope this helps.
first photo is only good, most clear there
you test bud, not leaf or sugar leaf !
middle of bud, chose calyx and make photo, think you have a week or two easy till chop
