I don't have a fancy phone camera for inspecting trichomes, but I do use the Tomlov portable microscope model P10. It's one of the best tools I use for growing my ganja garden! You don't have to get your face up in the plant like when you use a jeweler's loupe. It's also good for the older group with bad eyes. Good job on your 1st grow!Hi, Yolie.
Congrats on your first grow! You are joining a select group.
@Ckbrew is correct. GWE has lots of excellent "when to harvest" tutorials. I really urge you to read them and study the pictures. All the info you need is there. Just a little effort.
You will need a jeweler's loop or plug in phone microscope camera. Have you acquired either? Have you figured out where to dry? Do you have trimming scissors? How about glass jars and Boveda packs for curing? These things are needed to bring raw bud to cured smoke. All of this stuff is on the GWE website.
Thx for the tip @Chipmunk I've used a loupe since I began growing. I've been looking at other options. Amazon sent me a P10 today. I've got two sativas in the harvest window or right there at it. The P10 will get a test run tomorrow.I don't have a fancy phone camera for inspecting trichomes, but I do use the Tomlov portable microscope model P10.

I like the loupe but my hands and eyes are making me think it's time for another option.This is what I use to take my close up pix. The depth of field is extremely shallow but it can take some great pix.
