Do these pictures look clear enough?

I didnt post this in the harvest/cure thread, as I have no intention of harvesting. I'm giving my girls all the time they need, and my projected harvest time isnt until mid April at the earliest.

What I am curious about, however, is the type of scope you all use to inspect thine buds. The camera on my phone is decent enough, ×10 zoom, and took this photo earlier before lights on. Almost looks to be some amber trichs, but as I said, I'm not an expert. Anyway, Amazon's got a jeweler's loupe that does ×60, but for 10$ more you can get a USB attachment for your phone, that does 1000× zoom or some shit. Do i need all that. What do you prefer?

I just use a loop that's all that's needed. If you want to take close up pictures get the USB microsocope. But be careful with the cheap ones. Some are just garbage and a waste of money.

Yes, I'd say those are definitely amber trichomes!

If you grow under white light, get real close, and your vision is good, you can get a pretty good estimation of cloudy/white/amber with the naked eye. A combination of my phone camera and my own eyeballs works great for me

That's what I was thinking. Natural light and my phone, but I'm under an hps, so I think I might just spend the $ and get this one I was looking at

Digital camera here, IMO a phone just doesn't cut it(I tried).
Macro setting, max zoom & crop the pic.

I have one of these and if I'm honest they're not great, about the only way I can use it is if I snip a piece of bud off and flatten it on the table, I use a 60x Jewelers loupe

My I phone has a magnifier feature that is far better than the camera image

I bought one of those years ago. I don't use it because it's extremely hard to focus in on a bud that's still on the plant. It's in a box somewhere. The loupe works better.

This is the best, cheapest usb microscope that is plug and play on an Android phone. Even takes pictures in a higher resolution than its supposedly capable of.

Here is a 30x loupe held against my phone camera. Also has a 60x lens that REALLY zooms in. You've gotta hold very still or it comes out a little blurry like this pic

This is with the macro on my iPhone.

In another two weeks, I’ll use the zoom on this app.

Why do most people post the thumbnail picture?

I ordered a loupe. That pictures alot clearer than the ones my phone spits out. I have a note 9 and the pics are alright, but I'm not familiar with the pic settings quite yet.

 

[MR.NICE.GUY.1990]

I had a 420 scope that was a piece of junk, and it seems this one falls on the same category. I bought the 60× loupe for now. My Note 9 is supposed to take kick ass pics, but I'm still figuring it out and what not.
