So you dont have a jewlers loupe or a usb microscope to check your trichomes

[Wizzlebiz]

I've been on a search for a easier way to get a close look at trichomes.

A jewelers loupe is cool but my hands shake to much to get a solid look nor does it take pics.

A USB microscope is cool if I take a bud off to look at close but again my hand shakes to much to get great pics while looking at buds on the plant.

So I've been working with a HD camera app and attempting to get it dialed in with nothing more than my phone and this app.

I'm getting better with it.





This is the app icon in the play store.



I took some pics but found that taking a video and then taking screen shots out of the video is the easiest way to work with this.

I think I can still get closer and clearer. I Will continue to update this thread as I make progress with it.

But for now for those who don't have a loupe or a usb micro scope this is a feasible way to check trichomes.

As we can see above in the last 2 pictures most are cloudy. Very little clear left but no amber.

I hope this helps some of you in the future.

Have a wonderful evening.

I have to do the same exact thing. I can’t stay still if you paid me. Resorted to screen shots. Using a stylus helped even better when I did it on bigger screens.. I was able to just roll it.

You did get a couple nice ones tho.

Don't get me wrong I can use the USB microscope but this is easier for me for sure.

I use the microscope now. My lazy ass finally reinstalled the software. It came with a little pedistal. So when I’m grabbing the nanners I put those down on the glass and they stay pretty still if I don’t touch em. I wish I could have an outer body experience and watch ME go thru trying to get a steady pic tho. That’d be hilarious.

Mine has a pedestal as well. But it doesn't really help when you are checking big colas still on the plant. Holding it still is a challenge.

This is the one I use and how close/clear I’ve gotten it.

Ahhh yea. Well that app don’t seem to be doing a bad job tho. You can see them and determine just fine with that view.

Is that while the buds are still on the plant?

No it's from a calyx i removed that had a nanner sticking out of it. I clip them clean off.

Ah yeah. Can get super clear while everything is still lol.

The video method with the loupe clipped to my ipad on zoom has by far been the best gadget I like checking with on the plant.

Shoulda seen my stoned ass trying to take clear pics.. no video.. actually standing over trying to get a good pic.. meanwhile all my fans are still running. . My brain hadn't hit that wavelength yet lol
