USB Microscope vs 18x Macro-lense attachment
ItalianDesertBalconystarted grow question 24d ago
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.

Whatever gives you enough magnification to distinguish the trichome "ripeness" works.
Not needed of course but with one you dont have to ask ever again.

Hi IDB
--------------
For the beginning it can be really helpful to use a loupe or a small microscope to check the trichomes.
Especially later in bloom, that’s the most reliable way to know when your plant is ready. Personally, if I’m not taking photos, I use a simple handheld loupe like this one

Plant is mature enough for harvest.
Once you grow for a while, you will "just know" when to harvest and can throw your microscope away!

Frío no permite estiramiento?Tengo una duda. Si el frío por debajo de los 18 c° no permite que las plantas se estiren generando más espacio entre nudos, podría usar esto a mi favor y mantener bajas temperaturas (entre 13 y 16 c°) por el horario nocturno para así evitar que se alarguen demasiado?

Week countsWould anyone else like to see growdiaries start showing instead of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and so on, show as 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and so on. The way it looks now, as you enter the 2nd or 3rd week it seems like that week is already done.Other. General questions

What exactly does flowering time mean?Hi guys, I have a super newbie question. When I read "70-75 days flowering" on weed labels, does it mean 70-75 days of total growth from planting seeds into the ground (+veg,blooming phases) up to harvest or is it just the blooming phase? THANK YOU KIND PEOPLEOther. General questions

How long until harvest?What are your thoughts on how long I have left with my grow. She went passed 90 days from seed this week and starting to think I'm nearing harvest. I can check trichomes as I have microscope but there is very little of them on the buds. Experienced growers might be able to help.Week 13

What to do? Where am I at now actually? I’m lost and slightly discouragedWhen should I add happy frog fruit and bloom? This is my 3rd grow and im 0-2! I have a overfeeding problem but I’ve learned to be corrective and precise with ph and ppm and be pest preventative as well (heavy handed waterer as well..im trying). It’s day 5 of flower and I’m lost

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Non-oscillating fan in small grow box: good enough for now?Hey growers! 🌱 I’ve got a 9-speed USB fan (quite strong but not oscillating). For now I point it at the wall so the airflow bounces back on the seedling. Any better way to position it in the box until I upgrade to an oscillating fan later? 🤔
