GetThisOrDie Reviewed by GetThisOrDie on 01-30-2010. Can't distinguish amber! Hello everyone, I'm having difficulty with my pocket microscope distinguishing the amber trichomes from the clear ones. I get a clear view of them through the microscope, it has a light on it to light up whatever you are looking at, and I see clear, I see cloudy, and I feel like the light from the microscope is reflecting off of the clear trichomes to make them look amber:wtf: so annoying... Anyone got any ideas or tips? will the amber colored trichomes stand out when they are ideed Rating: 5

2 more...lookin FROSTY! :jointsmile:

Its a little hard to tell under the HPS, but from that second close up I see mostly cloudy trichs, but a few clear ones yet. I'd wait another 4 days or so. If you can get another close up like that one, it should be easy to compare.

I'm at the exact same point with my lil lady, I'm cutting in about a week. :thumbsup:

Of course I had to white balance and color correct to make it clear. Click for larger version. Click again for a very large version indeed!

Raw, it looks more like this;

And few will chastize, should you take a "sacrificial limb"* or so.

*("I was just moving the plant and it snapped off.")

We've all done it on our first few grows.

'Course now, I just snip off a lower bud, take it indoors, immobilize it, and then examine with the eyeclops, I take a few snaps, edit them for clarity, then decide her fate.

Yeah, I know. It's not easy being OCD
But, no more 'scope in da wind fo' me.
I too lazy to w*rk dat hard:rastasmoke:
Dat's fo' monkeys, I'm a 'zard.

Aloha, brah
Hope dis he'ps

Thanks for the info!

I was a little thrown back by this considering according to my schedule, they should still have about another week, but its ok, i'm getting everything ready as we speak.

I've begun the shock ripening stage; I pulled the plug on the lights, still got the fan and climate control goin. And luckily today was feeding day so I gave them some ice cold water. I'm going to do this for the next two days I think and chop at the end of the second, thats if the trichomes do indeed change that quickly.
