you have to have actually bud, a few calyx's with leaflets, to get an accurate reading.

this thing is great!! have to play around wit i took a piece of bud that i got to try it out and f*kin awesome..i also trim a leaf us to c but jus a bunch of dots...im tryin to take pics using the microscope so i can post em on here for yall, its a lil tricky but its def doable.....so u say to trim a piece of the bud wit cal and leaflets will that hurt the plants in ne way? do i jus clip it right t the stem at the bottom of the bud site or...????sry...im jus tryin to learn and figure this stuff out and so i dont f*k ne of them up ya know... thnx....

I told ya, as much as you will not want to do this, just clip a piece of bud off from the top, don't cut at the stem, just lop a little piece off. It won't affect the plants in anyway that you will see.

Just grab the bud from behind and stabilize it against the scope. Make sure the battery is good, because those rat shack scopes drain the battery fast - and a low battery will give you a false reading. As far as clipping bud, I would not do that, if you like to look often.

'preciate the info....i got a few pics for every one to look at and let me know what ya'll think.... they look more clear to me...a couple of red/amber ones......some 1 jus told me that they start off cloudy, then slowly clear, then turn and amberish color(like tha pistils do right?)...is that about right??? u want no cloudy ones right?? jus clear and amber color....more amber-higher potency,couch lock effect high......1/2-1/2 to more clear-more "up" high?? that sound right?? thnx.... :stoned:

the stages are: clear, milky, amber, in that order ... Clear trichome = THC not yet at its peak ... Cloudy, milky trichome = THC peaking, head high ... Amber trichomes = past maturity, body stone, 'couchlock' ... I prefer a 'head' high, so I harvest when I get about 5% amber trichomes, then I have a nice (for me) balance ... experiment to find what you like ... harvest some buds at each stage, and label them, for later identification ... :smokin:

cloudy is what gets u high man...i harvest 80%-95% cloudy...

great thnx brah...c its a good thing im askin these questions, other people tellin me the wrong order...lol....yea thats wha i am wantin is tha 'head' high...so 5% amber and the rest cloudy right? well i guess imma clip a lil piece of bud to get a better look, and try and get a pic.. i only clipped a lil piece of a trim leaf near the top thats those 3 pics...

[trupothead420]

what does every 1 think bout these ones.....ya said to clip a piece of a bud from the top, but i clipped one from a lower brach, but the bud i clipped is near the top..tha branch grew bout 2-3 nodes down from the main cola....does this work...or does it def have to b from like the main cola or something....these also look pretty clear to me...couple amber here n there....but mainly clear right? none of them look cloudy/milky to me...and if they start from clear, then damn they must not b even close to being ready...or again is that from me not clippin it from the top branches... i mean hell, they been flowering for like 70 some days...sry again guys im just tryin to get this right and sh*t...
