Looking for a good microscope for harvest time

Anyone have a suggestion on a decent instrument for evaluating trichomes and what not. It can be stand alone or whatever will work reliably with an iphone or macbook pro. I’m always hunting a deal but substandard instrumentation is not an option. Please only serious,time proven suggestions with which you’ve had success and reliability.


I have this as suggested from many in forum. I have mine duct tape to an old music stand

@Newt hi :wave: :blush: im in my 1st grow, end of flower . Learning when to harvest, getting as many opinions as i can to make a good decision… i see a lot of amber in those pics did you cut them at that point??. What kind of high is that. ( if you are a occasional party smoker like a couple times a week , 1 or 2 or 3 hits lol )

I have not chopped them yet. But it won’t be long. And I am a heavy smoker. I pulled a sampler bud on the same day of the pics. She got me very high, but after an hour or so it was a tad bit racy.

@Newt Wow really ??? Ok, so id probably want all that amber, i have anxiety so i dont need racey, but i dont mind if it gives me energy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :wink:

@Newt Lol im even more confused now how these girls work lmao, i thought with all that amber i wouldnt be able to move lol :sweat_smile: :upside_down_face:

It is somewhat of an optical illusion. When I took these pics she was on day 46 after flip, but I am getting a ton of coloring, and it must be making them look more amber than they are. :wink:

Check out the colors
