im almost ready to harvest but i dont have a jewlers magnifier so is there another way of determining wen to harvest :confused:
 
Radio shack as a hand help microscope for 12 dollars. 60-100x. I'd atleast get that one for now, you need it.

No.

You do not necessarily need a jeweler's loupe, but you do need at least 30x magnification to tell if your plant is ready for harvest.
 
Anything that will enlarge the trichs enough to see their color works.
 
your level of eyesight helps a lot too.... i know many people who can't see the distinguish colors with a 10X and many who can.... your best bet is gonna be the radio shack scope.... i've had mine for over 2 years with no problems.... the 60-100x magnification helps easily distinguish colors too....
 
yea but wen i take them they hardly sho up cause of the light
 
try snapping some right when the light goes out.... or a minute or 2 before it comes on....
 
ok will do
is there any problems with putting pics online? i mean isnt that dangerouse
 
i've posted on this site in years past, and that has been the least of my concerns by far.... just try not to get anything incriminating or identifiable in the photos.... the microsoft paint program can be very useful if you need to block out part of a pic....

C-mon dude .... havent you looked arround this place ?????????

Sorry but that was a DUMB question
 
I bought a 30X jewelers magnifier on eBay for less than 10 bucks shipped via mail. This was after buying a 10X from hobby lobby for 15 bucks and a radio shack 13 dollar microscope. The 30X is great for me and easy to use.
 
yea but half the people on here are allowed to grow pot im not

..there are no DUMB questions......

now don't get mad, but i don't know about that, i can honestly say that i have read a few R_E_A_L_L_Y horrendously hilariously DUMB questions here; so i KNOW you have :holysheep:
 
I shrink by just rightclicking on the pic and hitting "Edit". Should bring up Windows Paint.
Then just look for Sketch/Skew and reduce it by %.

For magnifying. I use lenses from an old pair of binoculars. Just hold up the small one to the plant, and the big one behind it. And bam. Size of M&Ms to look at. Can scan around the whole plant in seconds. Can even hold the camera up to the lenses (1 at a time, not together) and get clear heavily magnified shots without the zoom distorting it any on me.
 
You say this isnt your first rodeo, and you have grown a few crops already, how did you know when to harvest all of those other times ? hmmmmmm
