How do you use a microscope in tent?

same, you may be able to find a gooseneck tripod/clamp or something that you can use to hold the device so you can bend it in place and it will hold steady
Ive used zip ties on a phone clamp tripod which seems to do the job

Could these grippy tripods work on a tent pole?

Does your microscope take video? I just got one myself and have found that if I make a video, trying to stay within focus distance, I can then slowly “frame” through the video seeking the best still images to capture.
I know other people also remove nugs to examine them closely, though that’s unnecessary.
your images seem clear enough though.

Great idea, I'll try this next time I open the tent. Thanks!

A little work with a file to shape the flimsy plastic base to fit my tripod and voilà, it's steady as a rock. My scope has a wifi box to capture the pics to my phone but has lower resolution than when hooked directly to my computer. Still allows me to take pics of the living plants without dragging a laptop in there.

Tbh, I would recommend learning to recognize the signs of ripeness other than the trichomes - pistils receding, bracts swelling, etc. Microscopes are fiddly enough trying to look at a nug on a tabletop, much less on a branch swaying in the breeze...
I can see your tricomes are cloudy. Are you waiting for amber? OTW it is harvest time.

I'm sure we all do.

Assuming someone does that, will a lower bud be representative of the rest of the plant, or does it need to be an upper?

Are you sure, I can't tell what % from those pictures. And no I'm not really looking for amber, I don't like couch-lock.

It's not ready. Wait until most of the pistils are receded and calyx's swollen. No harm in taking a popcorn bud off and drying it to get an idea, but whatever you do don't use the microwave for it, lol.

Can you show me an example of pre-receded & receded on one of your plants. Thanks man

An almost mature Pura Vida clone from Bodhi. I still gave it another week+ though. But it would've been fine to chop then.
A Clone only Green Crack not as receded at 8 weeks.

So the "receding" are you saying they go from outwards reaching / spikey to curled up & closer to bud. Or do they literally retract into the bud. Still a bit confused.
Killer plants btw!
