I took some decent pictures of the trichomes today and thought I'd share them. It appears that most of them are cloudy at this point. Today is day 52 of 12/12.

i can see my trichomes with my naked eye. i am in day 40 of flowering and havent used anything but water and soil.how much longerdo you all think, and how will i know.i am using t5s 4 4 foot fixture for 4 plants.this is my first time budding so i am clueless. i think the buds are kinda small, but i think i am doing o.k. soon as i figure out how to post pics, i will.thanx
You can cut off a leaf, and take it inside to your desk to have a closer observation of it, that would cure the shaking and moving aspect of it. But I usually wait until I have about 25% orange hairs before I usually do that. Just for your own "scientific consumption" you can do it now, and any time you want...a small leaf every day won't hurt you, it will go along way towards helping you get more familiar with the process...good luck!one more question, hopefully someone can answer it.can you tell just by the hairs on the bud or do you have to look through a 100x magnifier?the reason i ask is yhat its har dfor me to look through the magnifier and get clost to the plant without moving it and or keeping a steady hand to really observe them.i can see them ,but my eyes hurt after 30 seconds of trying to be focused and steady.so back to my question, can i tell by just the hairs?i have a few red hairs , i would say 2 or 3% of the hairs are red.any help woul be appreciated , and the crop will be dedicated to my personal scientific consumption ,thanks
