Hey lip. I don't have a scope to check out my tris (i am near harvest).

I know what I am looking for, but if I just went out and got the cheapest/best magnifying glass.....would I be able to see what i need to see?

Yes, you would. BUT, you'll have to hold it really still and really look hard. I'd suggest getting a jewlers loop or something like that.

Basically, if your going to buy something get something that's at least 30x.


I didnt know you were growing lol, i hope it turns out nice!

Here's a macro shot I took when I had everything downstairs. No tripod, and I'm not exactly "shaky", but I don't think I can hold a camera extremely still, and I get decent trichome pix. My cam will take a macro of something that I lay across the lens, and still focus, at least in the center of the shot. And thanks for the good luck, hope it works! I know nothing will be GREAT until I actually order some beans, but I'm still a chicken shit!

Yeah lip, I've got 7 Northern Lightx Blueberry from peakseeds.com.

I just harvested one today cause it was looking kind of sad. Not expecting too much out of it, it doesn't look 1/2 as good as my best plant.

I would buy the jewlers zoom, but I don't know where to get it. (besides ebay which I don't want to wait for since I need it now) What about If I went and bought one of those cheap kiddie microscopes?

Hey KickYo, is that a picture of a ready to harvest bud? Is that what a Tri needs to look like? Mine aren't looking quite that amber yet.

Also, Lip, in another thread you said something to the effect of "If you harvest when the trics are still fairly clear, you wasted a good plant".

Naturally I don't want to waste a plant. A book I have told me that a week 7 harvest will have a more cerebral high than a week 8.5 harvest with a stoney high. I don't need to harvest all plants at the same time....but I don't want to pick too early.

What do you think?

Well, i'll tell ya what.

Try a scattered harvest. Then you'll be able to choose what kind of high you like the most.

50% Cloudy 50% Clear will give you a very sativa like "up" high.

80% Cloudy 20% Amber will give you a sativa high with a bit of indica feeling to it. [Like a cross]

Basically you dont want to harvest before you've got at least 50% cloudy, because the clear trichomes arnt mature. As they start to go cloudy, that's the time to start harvesting.

As for the magnification. A cheap one will survice, as long as it's 30x mag you should be ok. You can get them pretty cheap too.
