I hear ya! I can take the plant out and put it on the kitchen table to look at it eye level or so. And in regular light.

But for how long? I have had glasses all my life. My vision has degraded.
I'm telling you man lol! the single hardest thing for me in this whole process is trying to see these damn trichomes

what I've been doing is getting those trichome pictures with a close-up lens that I steady on a tripod and that's been working well

other than that I've got all the gadgets too and they're all utilized, but the best is the close up lens so far, and this little hand-held microscope would be the second best in my opinion

With my glasses on and trying to focus through the tiny little hole on my 60x loop with shaky hands doesn't get me a very clear picture of what I'm looking for. A while back on this site I thought I saw a 60x senior jewelers loop that was just like the 30x in size but now that I'm looking for one I'm unable to locate one.

I downloaded a magnifying app I think it's called magnifier by Pony, that app and the close-up lens together allow me to get those trichome shots I posted above, hope that helps!

That would require a cell phone I've never owned and my land line doesn't takes pictures so I'm stuck with old tech like hand held magnifiers that move when I shake.😀

You dont even have an old pre paid flip phone in the glove box for emergencies?
No, I did buy a disposable once when we spent the winter in Florida 7-8 years ago but that is long gone. Other than that I've never had one, problem sometimes when I need a text confirmation. fkers think we all own cell phones. I've used some of the online message services to receive them but that's a pain in the ass.

I don't know how you're spending your days but right now with the snow, ice and wind I've been either in my grow room or here online. I've run out of wood big enough to build things I need so I'm left with short scraps to do hobby work in my work shop with and no inspiration to build toys and shit. I can spend hours in my grow room, there's always something I can play with then up for a smoke, a bit online, a bite to eat, another smoke and down to my room again and the cycle repeats as necessary. 😃 Winters are long and I burn through the meds like crazy, without this hobby I'd be out punching trees for fun🤪

Tracfone is about the cheapest. Buy a phone for $10+ and buy 60 minutes $20 and that's it until you run out of minutes. Walmart even sells phones and minutes/data/texts. Good to keep in a glove box.

lol those are US dollars if I guesstimate the math that'll be $ 100 cdn + tax or close to it.
Remember you live in a country where you can buy beer for less than $30 a dozen. Things are different up here. We have free health care lol

Yeah but we've all seen pictures of summer there and would give a lot to spend time. It's frickin beautiful. Wife and I did an Alaskan cruise 6 yrs ago and did some hiking in Juno and Fairbanks. I had no idea it was a rain forest. I'd love to spend a summer there or where you're at. U can have the winters🤤

Agree, used to go to Montreal all the time particularly the jazz festival before the whole 911 & now you need a passport things started, the Canadian people are awesome and we really had some great times in Montreal! (Hello Saint Catherine Street!)😉

Edit: not a big fan of the Montreal Canadiens though, let's just get that out there; I was born right down the street from the Boston Garden so forget about that ever happening

Ah yes the 3 months of nice weather we have here in Nova Scotia where for 2 months it'll be in the 90's at 90%h. and I'm pulling 3+ gallons of water out of my dehumidifier a day to try and keep my room in the 60% range. There are some real nice days through the year, every month has a week or so of nice days, even today with it snowing like shit its pretty out there.. and quiet. Not much movement out there today all schools closed.

There's something odd about these snow days i get a turrets like syndrome where I spontaneously shout WHISKEY and it repeats the longer I stare at the falling snow. I can't drink these days, it just makes me puke but I think it's in my DNA to require mega doses of hard alcohol during snow storms and the draw to drive recklessly to the closest local liqueur store still lays embedded in my system.

I was asked when I moved here 25 years ago what the best outcome of a Montreal vs Toronto game would be, testing for my loyalties, I said a plane crash with both teams on it. You see I come from Vancouver and it used to really piss me off when during a game in Vancouver when playing either Montreal or Toronto there would be large cheers for the invading enemies every time they scored. This really irked my ass and made me despise both teams and their misguided fans. That resentment has cost me some friends here that are loyal Montreal fans.Montreal to me is like the New England Patriots of football. Cheating bunch of slimy allstars fkem all! lol

Are you insinuating Bill Belichick is a cheat!? LOL just kidding pretty well-known he is but don't mean nothing to me either way, don't follow football. I feel about football the way you feel about those two teams on the airplane believe me, and you can put Goodell the commissioner on the plane with them too

I was born and currently live in Vancouver. People are cheering for the other team because they came to see the other team.

I lived in Texas for years, I could have paid like $35 to watch the stars play Vancouver in a 1/3 full arena, with a hotdog and a beer! And I still only went once, Vancouver lost.

🤣

Just sayin, Vancouver is not a very good team. Every now and then they get a star player they can rest the entire team upon. But it's not enough to take the cup. Almost though once or twice, then everyone riots. 🤣

Growing up in greater Vancouver we crossed into the states sometimes daily in the summer. Parents had a cottage in Birch Bay Washington and that was the code word to get across hassle free. " Where you going?" Birch Bay " Have a nice day" or Bellingham to shop worked well too.

Now its a 6 hr drive to get to Calais Maine. I don't drink much now but there was a time I drank like fish and I still like a cold beer or two on a hot day. From my years of spending time in the USA I grew fond of Bud, I know some will laugh and liking US beer in Canada is treasonous.

Last year on the hottest days of the year I took that drive to get as much Bud as I was allowed to bring across back into Canada. We drove to Moncton ( 3+ hrs) where I dropped my wife off at the casino and I continued on to Maine 3+ hrs.
The border guard asked me where I was going, I told him and he said sternly " You didn't drive all the way here from Nova Scotia to go to WalMart to buy beer" I replied just as sternly. " I did so" then I went on to tell him I'd left my wife in Moncton and had to get back so lets hurry this up hey, with my smiley face on. He said as he lightened up, you'll have to pay duty, enjoy your beer, have a good day and off I went.

On the return to Canada they just told me to go inside to pay the duty $60 for 48 bottles of Bud on top of the $40 Us for the beer and the gas it was over $200 Cdn for the beer, lol I like my tall cold Bud on a hot day. Plus the money my wife spent at the Casino, it was a very expensive day but I hope to do it all over again this year when it gets into the 90's.
