Thank you so much for some feedback chaps. I have read up on the trichomes but what do I put under the microscope?Is it the leaves, as nowhere says which bit I have t look at? I know I sound dumb but it is my first time.

Your plants look great! Don't scrap them though. Let them finish as premature/unfinished cannabis is an absolute waste of time.

For the microscope, they are talking about a Pocket Scope. I found a link below that has a picture so you know what they look like:

You can buy them The Source, what used to be called Radio Shack. I got a nice 50-80x zoom on mine for $12.

You look through that scope, on your plant, and look at the trichs/crystals through the scope. It gives you a very close up view and the trichs look like little mushroom heads, or raindrops.

So wherever trichs are, you look at them. On the leaves and the buds, and you don't remove anything at all to look at them. Just leave the bud/leaves on the plant, let it grow, and look through using the scope.

When trichs are about 15% red/amber, 85% cloudy, you'll want to harvest. When the trichs start turning reddish, the THC is starting to break down.

If you cut when they are clear, you will lose potency and yeild.

Looks good though. Good job.

Thank you for that I'll borrow a loop from my local jeweller as I don't think I'll find a scope where we are living.
It all started as a bit of a joke with these plants and all we have done is watered them but the smell is overpowering and we are eagerly awaiting a big fat smoke.
