Try cutting a small piece of the leaf off and put it down on something flat. Makes using that 60-100x microscope from radio shack way easier.
i would try that but none of the leaves have trichomes on them just the seed pod/calyxQuote:

lol, theres not much to look at untill the plant evelos some more, youll be able to see them with the naked eye, then use the scope fora better look

thanks dusto2k3 for the help how and when do know when to stop using ferts im using ff/tb and bbl,but how u know when to flush that two weeks before harvest
alright, looks like you have a sativa. I don't know about usually, but from what i've seen, they take 12-13 weeks to flower. Figure 12x7=84 and 13x7=91, these two numbers are your objective in days. So, based on what you see happening to the pistils and trichs, around day 74 is when you would probably want to really start looking at the trichs, but, always keep an eye out as the 12-13 weeks is only a guess. Another good way to tell when to really start looking is the hairs, pay more attention when you see 50% or so turn red. Your plant will continue to mature as you flush, so it's not that big of a deal, just gotta make sure you do it. Keep some pics and update your thread and I'm sure you will get some good advice as you progress thru the most exciting part of your grow.
