So no jeweler's loop huh? not everyone has one of those and if you don't try using your digital camera and look for a macro lens setting. I did and it helps a lot. Check out the thread link at btm of this posting and towards the end of my grow log I started to use my macro lens option on the digital cam and it got me some good peeks at the elusive amber trichomes...:thumbsup:

If none of that works for you, just wait till 1/4 to 1/2 of pistils turn a darker color.

Well i have a plant that about 90% pistils are bronw but the trichomes dont seem ready yet. so whats that mean?about 70% milky

pistil color doesn't mean much, at all, too many factors affect them ... go by the trichomes :thumbsup: ... 70% milky, not ready yet ... when you see about 10%-20% turn amber, that's when I harvest ... everyone differs a bit, but that's 'ballpark' ... :smokin:
