Everyone keeps stating "microscope," may want to look for a "jeweler's loop." 25X is okay, 40x is good... spend a little more and get even more detail.

As so many have stated, when to pick due to color of trichs is up to you. Extremes, sativa that is mostly white vs indica that is mostly amber. Try growing indica and harvest when it is still mostly white.
