Interesting trichome picture.

I recently bought a digital microscope to take pictures of the trichomes on my plants and I managed to accidentally get some interesting pictures. My microscope has 8 leds in a ring. They are used to light up the area being magnified. In these images the focus is just right right and you can see the leds reflecting off the heads of trichomes. I thought it was kind of interesting. But then I'm high so that might have something to do with it.

Thank you. I took the pictures immediately after I cut the buds off of the plant. Then when I looked at the pictures I was a little worried I might of harvested a little early. But thanks to your reassurance I guess that's not the case. (I didn't notice some of the less cloudy trichomes until after I cut the plants because I find it a lot easier to take the pictures after the buds are removed.)

I've got most of the growing stuff down pat. But I'm still a little unsure about picking the exact best time for harvest. So I bought the microscope and now I'm going to try and remember to take pictures of every plant at harvest time. Then after I test the final product. I can compare the pictures and use them next year when deciding when to harvest.
