/u/cero has it right, they won't be ready for at least 3 weeks, probably more like 4 or 5.

Buy yourself a little 60-100x led microscope to check the trichrome color, it's the only reliable way to tell when it's actually harvest time. Something like this

u/WonJilliams · 4 pointsr/ScienceTeachers

I use these guys for scales in my classroom. I was able to outfit a class of 12 with enough for everyone to have their own for the cost of one scale from Flinn.

You might check out pocket microscopes like this one. It can't magnify as high as a traditional microscope, but they're $10 instead of $500

u/fronkerz · 4 pointsr/trees

You need to buy yourself a handheld micrscope this one is dope
If you see mostly clear/white crystals it will smoke like a sativa, and an Indica will have more amber/brown crystals.

u/powercorruption · 4 pointsr/microgrowery

It should be fairly easy. If you want portability, buy some Smart Pots, they worked much better than the standard plastic pots I was using before. Spend some money on some good nutrients for the N-P-K phases. I used the Fox Farm Trio for my first grow, but I will be moving onto more organic products next year. Make sure to feed them less than what the bottles tell you to. Good soil is very important, I used Roots Organic. Then get some Molasses and feed it about cap full once every couple of weeks while it's vegging, and once a week when it flowers.

One mistake I made on my first grow, was ignoring pesticides. Next year I will be using Azamax once a week when it's vegging. Caterpillars can ruin a good amount of your crop in no time.

I think that's pretty much all you need for a cheap, and low-maintenance grow. Buy some Fiskars trimmers, and a microscope when you think they're ready for harvest.

u/[deleted] · 4 pointsr/microgrowery

I think that's a common method, but you could cost yourself both weight and potency by pulling early.

I grow for a dispensary and have the benefit of getting my buds tested at a lab. I had some Sour D that I cut and tested, and then cut 10 days later and tested again(different plants, but all clones were the same).

The original plants were 10% amber, the second 20-25(all are fairly rough estimates, as trying to get an exact count is futile).

I gained weight and 4% potency in those 10 days.

For get jewler's loupes or other magnifying glasses. They don't work for shit. Get something like this: Carson MM-200 Carson Micromax LED 60X-100X LED Lighted Pocket Microscope

I have that "420 Scope", it's actually a Carson pocket microscope, which cost me $10 bucks on amazon and the 420 scope is literally that with a sticker on it for 2X the price.

Here's a link in case you were thinking of buying it.

u/johnnychronicseed · 3 pointsr/microgrowery

Try amazon.ca ?

u/DominizZzle · 3 pointsr/microgrowery

Get you a pocket microscope like this one https://www.amazon.com/Carson-60X-100X-MicroMax-Microscope-MM-200/dp/B000P8AUMU
And check out the trichomes during the dark cycle. If most of your trichomes are a milky/cloudy white instead of clear then you are good to harvest. If they're still clear give it some more time to finish. If more of the trichomes have started turning amber you've let the plant flower too long but it's still going to be smokable it will just have more of a couch lock effect.

u/sex_n_drugs_account · 3 pointsr/microgrowery

I use a Carson MM-200. The knobs a kind of a pita to rotate for focus/zoom while your looking through it, but the price was right and it gets the job done.

u/Justintime233 · 2 pointsr/microgrowery

Wow, one of the first setups I've seen in a while where I didn't have a major suggestion. Very nice.

Add a pair of Fiskars, a hygrometer for curing, trich microscope and something for tying things down if you're going to LST.

I had to really think just to think of those. Good job.

u/Te55_Tickle5 · 2 pointsr/microgrowery

Anything with a magnification from 40-100x. They are easiest to see in the dark so the magnifier would need a light. this is what you want. Other things will work but that'll be the easiest to see things accurately with.

u/sharinghisstupidity · 2 pointsr/microgrowery

My hands are shaky too, this is what I have:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000P8AUMU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1408234115&sr=8-1

So looks like a much different type from yours. I just press mine down onto my desk to steady it.

u/PotatoAcid · 2 pointsr/chefknives

What you want is a microscope, something that provides 50x or higher magnification. This thing from amazon apparently works well. There are cheaper options from China, but the reviews aren't as favorable. You can try something like this if don't want USB connectivity.

u/CantThinkofaGoodPun · 2 pointsr/microgrowery

If your provide pictures of the plant then people can guess.

if you cant get pictures of the trichomes then any answer someone gives you will be a guess.

amazon has a few cheap options you should look into if you really want an accurate assessment of your plants time till harvest.

Microscope Somewhat random, but I want it for a weird reason. To inspect sperm, yup.

Never did one. Laxative cupcakes would be hilarious.

I have a fish tattoo on my left foot and it looks like it has a wiener.

u/mybotanyaccount · 1 pointr/microgrowery

i have one of these but its been a little difficult for me to see them clearly or even try and take a picture, it moves around so damn much lol. I'm going to try again and post an update.

I checked it last night and i'm pretty confident that i saw a mix of clear and cloudy with very few amber.

u/ortl · 1 pointr/microgrowery

Is this what you are talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/Carson-MM-200-Micromax-60X-100X-Microscope/dp/B000P8AUMU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I am about to purchase it. Are you satisfied with it? Typically I read negative reviews right before I buy something. The negative reviews made this seem rather difficult to use.

u/duhblow7 · 1 pointr/microgrowery

Best way is to get a 20x scope. Something like this will work fine.

http://www.amazon.com/Carson-MM-200-Micromax-60X-100X-Microscope/dp/B000P8AUMU/ref=sr_1_cc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290463704&sr=1-1-catcorr

You can even get a jewelers loupe which is even cheaper.

The trichs convert from THC to CBD's. A higher ratio of THC to CBD will give a more cerebal "head" type of high. A higher ratio of CBD to THC will create a more body type of high. The first is more like a sativa and the second will resemble more of an indica. I believe that 40% amber gives a good representation of what the plant is.

u/thrwawyandburn · 1 pointr/microgrowery

what?
A microscope is exactly what you want.
You can also get a super cheap - i'm talking less than ten dollars - microscope or loupe just for this.


something like this - they make even cheaper ones. You don't need a anytign fancy at all

u/hydro613 · 1 pointr/microgrowery

when you say electronic do you mean USB? This is what I have http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000P8AUMU/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1416440883&sr=1&keywords=carson+micromax+60x-100x+led+lighted+pocket+microscope

I just tried taking a small piece off the plant and that helped a whole lot

u/DoomsdayHoliday · 1 pointr/microgrowery

Same here too. I am in week eight with mine, but had some setbacks, so I count in an extra week or two. Already started flushing. We are almost there, you are closer to harvesting than I am and I also hate to wait for that. The trichomes are all clear on mine, can't clearly say that with yours tbh. -Pic- for guideline. And what I use to check the trichomes.

u/indigobud · 1 pointr/microgrowery

I personally think you would leave yourself disappointed if you harvested now. Your buds will still most likely swell larger (increasing your yield). You also definitely need to get a microscope to check the trichomes and see if they're ready. I have harvested early before and comparing effects to a properly harvested plant you'd be missing out greatly!

I use a microscope similar to this:

u/cdcox · 1 pointr/AskSciTech

http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/e1sa0/my_kids_asked_santa_for_a_microscope_for/ Some not bad advice in that thread. Let me second a stereo-microscope. The stereomicroscope in my lab is easily my favorite to play with. I'd start by reading this

I think something like this or something like this which are, as far as I can tell, modified dermatologist scopes, might be good for a 5th grader. (Reviews are pretty good indicators on this, though don't trust zoom numbers most zoom 20-30x and the rest is all digital.) I spent a summer volunteering at a place with something like these, they are fun. Also if you want something that doesn't take pictures but is a pretty neat field scope you should check out, this, this, or this (note, jeweler loupes do not have lights built in). If you want something kind of medium range, most sites recommend Celestron scopes as pretty good. If you really want a compound microscope (and you know how to operate a microscope, I can't emphasize this enough, otherwise it will not work!) this is recommended by the microscope buying guide. (Also as someone else said, you will run out of stuff to look at pretty fast with a compound scope.) Though that site has a number of nice compound microscopes.

u/Anonymoushipopotomus · 1 pointr/microgrowery

I went with this one
http://www.amazon.com/Carson-60X-100X-MicroMax-Microscope-MM-200/dp/B000P8AUMU/ref=pd_sim_op_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=12DT9A985QRFPC7EM1HS

Its a little small but does the job. USB microscopes are usually cheap too, and a large screen helps.
