Hey everyone ... I hope this thread proves to be educational for many new growers like myself.
What I am trying to do is to relate the photos of trichomes on a RoyalQueenSeeds tutorial to actual photos I took today using my microscope.
MoKo WiFi USB Digital Microscope
Here's the current scenario:
*** Post Date: August 16, 2019.
*** Medium: I am growing in FF Ocean Forest soil with 30% perlite.
*** Strain: Canuk Seeds Cheese.
*** Current Stage: Day 4/ Week 11 ... Day 74 ... late flower.
*** It got its pistels on Day 7/ Week 5 ... Day35 ... early pre-flower.
*** It is in the final 2 weeks of bloom.
*** Final bloom flush was on August August 13, 2019.
*** I am currently feeding full dose bloom nutes and watching the trichomes.
*** My current strategy timeline: Flush, Full-On Bloom Nutes, Stem Split, Three Days Dark, Harvest!
*** This was my very first time using the microscope to try and get photos.
*** My goal is to harvest when there are a mixture of cloudy trichomes and amber trichomes ... and even more amber trichomes to help with sleep.
*** I need to understand better what I am looking at here ... and if I need to take better pictures of the trichomes to make a decision, or if these pictures are good enough.
*** Do I need more magnification?
*** Do I need a better angle?
*** Do I look at the top of the bud?
*** Do I look at the sugar leaves?
*** Are these trichomes clear or cloudy?
Here are the pictures I took today that I need to understand better:

Thanks in advance!!!
