Ok this may cause myself some grief but how are you guys checking trichome color? I have been using a USB microscope but I have to trim a small piece of bud each time.
So after asking around and looking around I bought one of the small hand held magnify glasses so i could check my buds without cutting a piece off. Well I thinks its a POS. There is no way in hell I can use this thing. You have to hold it right next to the bud and the plant moves around. Every once in awhile you get a glimpse of a trichome but then its gone.
Are people actually able to look at a bud trichome with one of these. I call BS or at least not like I want to do. I want to see a area large enough to see the percentage of amber trics. In my opinion this can only be done by cutting a piece of bud off.
How to you guys accomplish this with out cutting a piece of bud?
