Go buy a Jewelers loupe. They are cheap as hell and it'll last a lifetime

Look on amazon. They"re cheap there.

Will this do?

That should work.

Don't feel bad if reading trichs is a pain
It is for me.
I make sure the buds look ripe and feel ripe as well not just trichs.

We get people all the time claiming the trichs are cloudy/amber then when pressed for bud pics they aren't even close to ready.

The little fuckers also absorb or reflect light making it hard to tell if cloudy or just cam flash etc..

And plants don't ripen perfectly all at once

After a few runs you will struggle less with harvest window if you run the same varieties.

Ok I see thanks for the heads up

So In a nutshell, when you've done this for a long time you can just look at a plant and tell when it's ripe.

I can't remember the last time I checked trichs. And I'm always on point bruh.

Here is some light comedy if anyone is bored.

Cant tell if he is legit schizophrenic,
Troll, or retarded
Or a combo.

Im not going to pursue it any further.

I'd turn on my translating app if I knew what language to select.

I give him credit; he has gotten much better with his punctuation as the thread progressed. I still struggle reading some posts but it is still progress, if you aren't sure read the first few pages again. I do give him an A for effort he could have just kept on going without punctuation, instead he started adding some and I for one appreciate that. I mean I ain't no maff teacher but I knows me nubers.

 

[BleedsGreen]

I am glad to see everyone getting along so well, I can feel the love

 

[Indacouch]

fr yall got my thread cracking but i will but lil palmy going to a friens if it start growing lbvs

Wtf does that even mean. I need you to do everything better if you wanna post in my thread.



Mmmmmmmmmmmmm k

 

[Indacouch]

got another clone thats doing just fine beside the leaves poking straight up

That's not just fine.

 

[Indacouch]

Always wondered which was better. thought foil reflects more but knew white reflects all light

He's lying balck paint and semen reflect best.

I use a loop and a pocket microscope. I got the microscope for less than ten bucks.

I have been thinking about getting one of those USB microscope.

Thats funny,
I always use the scope but in the end just shake my head and go with my gut.

If you own a really cheap phone and plan on using it with your phone make sure it is compatable and there is a program available.

I bought the cheap chinese scope and it don't work on my phone or tablet.
Laptop runs though.

There is something called on the go
I dont know.
Just that I need a better phone. Lol

Well I’ve also been running the same clones for a while. Whenever I do add new strains I check them with my 60x microscope.

I’ll do a seed run, take a clone, and if it sucks I’ll never run it again.

But I have a go to right now that I hope to never let go. It’s a good’n

I want a real microscope bad
But I also need bjs from the wife and I haven't figured out how to hide the purchase yet.

I could try the old standard.
"I'm holding it for a friend"

Or just man up and when she asks
Give her 5 across the eyes and demand beer.

But yeah,
I want to see protozoa, nemotoads
And my semens.
Badly

 

[charface]

Im testing 5 sds and 7 cookie wrecks from seed
Looking for new keepers.

I ditched so much really good shit in the past thinking I could just pop a seed and get it back.
I just got bored after a year or so and tossed shit.
Oh well.

 

[PuffinPine]

Ok I see thanks for the heads up

Is that poop on your nose? Lol jk

I don't really believe that foil will cause hot spots.

Some of the best reflectors made are hammer tone aluminum. Though hammer tone is a bit different than crinkled foil. Those still only reflect slightly more light than flat white paint.

One of those mylar emergency blankets would be better than aluminum foil.

I'm not sure where the hot spot thing from aluminum got started. I suppose hot spots are possible. It's like the water drops will burn your plants by acting like a magnifying glass. It rains on my veggie garden all the time then the sun comes back out and no burn.

I suppose if anything maybe some of these ideas could be tested.

It would take a 1000w hid to cause hot sptos from foil I think. Maybe not. I've never tried foil. Always heard the hot spots and went with flat white.

Hot spots just refers to uneven light distribution because foil crinkles unevenly, which deflect light unevenly. Textured metal reflectors on the other hand have a even pattern which reflects light well. Flat white paint creates a flat white surface that'll create a even distribution.

Hot spots will not burn plants, just leaf to irregular canopy growth because of poor light distribution.

Right, regardless how the critics feel about me, I guess I got all the elite growers on one thread. Wow, so much knowledge to absorb lbvs

Too bad you've been so obstinate & have missed so much info by arguing constantly instead of being able to listen open mindedly without getting defensive.

Yea. I can't remember the last time I used the microscope or the loop.

I still use it occasionally. New strains and such. Sometimes I like to check and harvest at different times to see at what point I like a strain.
