Viewing trichromes

I have a 30x light scope and have trouble viewing the trichs on the plants(keeping a steady hand).
My question is,where would be the best place to take a sample.
can i take it from a leaf close to the bud or from a hair or does it have to come from the bud itself . :rastasmoke:

Look at a bunch of dif places and base a concensus .

Peace

Reefer,

I had the same problem in the beginning. It just takes some time to get used to taking a quick glance at them when they come into focus.... I know what you mean.

One thing I started to do was grab hold of one of the larger fan leaves below the buds that are strong and I found that it kept the rest of the plant more secure and steady.

Hope that helps.

shit, your going to be trimming her anyway......snip off a couple tric covered leaves and look at them on a white surface.

Ty,
I tried what u said.With a little patience and turning the fan off :stoned:,I managed to get a good look all around.
they are mostly clear and cloudy,but some of the trichs i saw were a wicked red color :D
thanx for the input all

I'm sure know this already but just in case. More of them will turn red.. or amber. you want to harvest around 50-80% amber if you want a good couch lock high.
