As for the scope, I think I need to use it more. That's probably my problem. I haven't seen any amber trichs at all, still I think it may be time to cut them. Rather cut early than late.
curing does increase potency- trichs mature to their full potential - more then taste - cutting early is what most people do during the learning process- wait until she shows amber trichs- I have 5 plants in the ground with little amber but experience tells me to wait- the hardest part of growing pot is the wait
