Great to be here. First time grower.
I just harvested my first 2 plants. I would like your collective opinions on the state of the trichomes in the pictures. They were taken just before I harvested. Was I too early??
Man...I tried everything out there...jeweler's loops (I have 2 of them), a Carson MicroBrite Plus Pocket Microscope and 3 different USB microscopes. Finally I found a USB microscope that works well, but I had to construct a pillar with a boom to hold the camera steady while I focused and took the shot. The USB microscope I finally used for the pics in this thread was this one:
This one has a ~8" flexible post/stand/mount that I zip-tied to the end of my boom. The flexible post is nice because you can get the boom pretty close to where you want it and then just manipulate the post into the position you want.
