a 30x loupe is perfect mate:thumbsup:have to dissagree with your bro, you can't tell by the color of the hairs the trichs is the best way to tell, clear trichs aren't ripe and will be not be very strong milky are ripe trichs and will give you a mhch heavier high and amber trichs are over ripe but will give you more of a couch lock buzz, 80%milky and 20% amber is what i aim for but with this shitty uk weather sometimes not possible.i've heard someone else mention trimming a week befor harvest to stress the plant, never tried it so not sure if thats a good thing or not let us know if it makes any differance
