When you view trichomes to see if a crop is ready, where do you view from? Do you cut off a piece of a tiny leaf in the bud, do you just stick the whole bud into a portable microscope (which I'm using). Do you cut off a piece of bud to view from?
I use a 30x jeweler's loupe it's easier to look thru then a miroscope to me cause it's alot more portable,i like to test alot of sites to get a general idea of where the plant in a whole is at.
