USB Microscope vs 18x Macro-lense attachment
ItalianDesertBalconystarted grow question 3d 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!

Stunted auto seedlings?Anyone here have experience growing an auto that’s been severely stunted?
I direct sowed into a rich soil and have had very little growth in the last 3 weeks.
Will a stunted auto start flowering once it reaches a certain height? Or will I have 5 inch tall dwarf plants?

I wonder if i should harvest now ?
Could you have a look to my photos and give me your advice ?
I'm looking for good taste, with recreational effect, but balanced with a bit of relaxing effect...
Well, a nice balanced indica effect. Should i wait for more "amber" ?
Thanks ! <3Week 11

Almost chop, should I stop feeding?I am not sure how much longer. I think a week to 2 but should I stop feeding nutrients? It is day 60 and I am giving it a light feeding until I hear back from you all to decide what I should.
Check out pictures of trichomes and should I just use straight PH’d water til chop?
