Got the Radio Shack pocket Microscope. What am I looking at?

I like it. For $12.09 you can get a good look at things. However, I am confused. You would think that distinguishing clear from cloudy should be easy. Question: Is the little stem or "tee" of the trichome always clear and just the top or "ball" changes to cloudy? It seems like some have cloudy balls but the stems are clear. And yet some (very few) also seem to have an amberish tint but could that be if a lot of them are still clear? I don't want to go past prime but this isn't as easy as I thought it should be.

The best trich pictures I've seen on this forum are from Hatch: he has a log or thread that is Hatch's Trich Picture's; I am not sure, but it may help you?? Sorry, I am no PC wizard, but you can look him up and check out his threads and find it! Good luck, even if you don't learn anything, I am sure you will enjoy the show! I sure do. IN fact, it is time for me to go peeking again! Good luck to you and enjoy your grow. congrats for being so close to harvest!

I've read many things about harvest time. Pretty much some harvest at different stages for different effects! That is pretty much all I have for you! I know there will be many others, be patient! :jointsmile: pr

Thanks for the help. I'll check those pictures out.

they start as balls and then grow stalks and look mushroomy sometime the ball disapears cloudy is good. broken trichs from rough handling also cause ambers
