If you dont have or cant get ahold of a microscope a decent camera will provide at least some what of a tell tell sign. Example:Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News I took this picture with a canon powershot sd750. A pretty ordinary camera. 7.1 mega pixel. Nothing to fancy about it. I can take pictures of my buds and then looking at them on my computer. You can actually see the difference between the amber colored trichs vs others. This just gives me a rough estimate of amber %. you can still have alot of clear trichs thou which as we discussed before youd want to wait to turn. YOU DONT HAVE TO GET A MICROSCOPE.... but again if you are looking for a desired quality from your crop its almost a staple to have.
canni13is Reviewed by canni13is on . Questions about harvesting Hey guys. I am 35 days into flower of AK 47. The website says it flowers in 50 days. Can I go by this? I don't have a microscope or anything and I have no idea how easy it will be to see amber trichomes as this is my first grow. I'm growing 2 plants of AK-47 and 1 Fast Sweet Dreams. I grew with cfls for veg and now a big 400 watt cfl for flower. I couldn't be happier with the size of the plant and number of buds. It will be a good size yield for sure. The trichomes look very clear right now but Rating: 5
