How do you use a microscope in tent?

I don't. Overall structure and swollen and fully developed calyxes are better markers. You may see ripe trichomes two months before harvest and I see people harvest to early at that time all over this forum.

I would suggest forget about using microscope before you understand fully how the plant grows, matures and develop its flower clusters.

Not even close to be done, got a long way to go! Hope you can keep them alive long enough for them to swell.

That doesnt appear done or even close to you?

Alright well I chopped that 1 day later, I've been vaping that for awhile now & it's a great effect. So I guess I lucked out big time.
That may be so, but it looks like you didn't luck out on mass. They don't look like they swelled at all, imo.

If that gave a great effect, I suspect the plants from your current grow are gonna blow your mind...

And I wouldn't listen to that guy telling you they're still way off. All 3 are definitely pretty close to being done. Definitely much better than the previous one

Yea I probably only got 4 ounces off that plant.

Yea the NL1 larf is so good I can only take like 8 little sips off a PAX3 on the lowest setting & I'm good for 2-3 hours. So this Chem D x Purple Punch is probably going to 100% wreck me!
It's got way more trichomes, like 3x more.

Yup that's all I'm shooting for every grow. Just a little better than the last. Thanks!

Thank you everyone @Boatguy @curious2garden @Hollatchaboy et. al for the tips. I learn from everyone's perspective, it's very helpful.

It's not fully developed. Reasons to that is is another question? Flowers are done when fully developed and matured IMO.

That flower may never be "done" before it dies by operator error. I would let it go as long as it's still drinking and eating properly.

I use on of these, $7 on Amazon I think I paid like paid like $10 12 years ago and it’s all I need, really easy to keep steady.

I do have a 100x usb but I don’t mess with trying to use it to scope live plants, not worth the effort when the $10 one works so well.
