How to tell judging cloudy vs clear trichromes

You can also try this depending on how good your phone camera is.

I took the pics I posted with this method.

 
I don’t think I saw it mentioned yet but it’s also valuable to observe the trichome heads from the side if possible rather then from the top.

When viewed from the top it can be easy to mistake a clear trichome for being cloudy. This happens when the bulbous head of the trichome magnifies the opaque stalk.

When viewed from the side it allows better light transmission through the trichome allowing you to see more accurately what color/condition the trichome is at.

It takes weeks for plants to mature not days so remember to have patients. Plants put on significant weight the last few weeks through internal density too.
 
a ~$10 jewelers loupe does just fine.
I honestly miss sooooo much with the loupe.

I miss a shit ton with pics as well however I can stare at a pic and see what I didnt while I was taking the shot if that makes sense.

Picture to dissect is next level.
 
eh i guess i should add im not super particular about harvest windows. a quick glance here a quick glance there and chop chop, i probably spend a total of a minute or two each grow looking at trichs lol
