i went and got the pocket micro scope from radio shack.. i can def see the trichs.. but took a lot of effort.. i saw a table top microscope while at walmart, i think for my next grow i will budget to get that microscope.. plus the pocket micro the light isnt as bright as i thought it would be so had to do a lot of finaggling...

so the trich's are slightly cloudy with amber starting to show.. a buddy of mine said cloudy is head high.. full white is body.. and amber is couch high ?? is that correct ? how long does it normally take to go from cloudy to amber ?? like the trichs have a amber tint to it but are still milky cloudy white ?? you think they are ready or wait one or two more weeks ?

Gland Coloring Question so I did a search on "don't have jeweler's lense" and " jeweler's loop" and came up blank... so what if i don't have a jeweler's loop/lense to be able to see the trich glands and their coloring.. how will i know when it is time for harvesting ??
