Trichs are a real science guys and gals,I bought a inexpensive microscope at toys are us,300x,600x,900,it can be used from top viewer and also has a viewer in the front for quick view,I have been harvesting for over 30 years and I tell you its different everytime,back in the old days we would sneak a piece into science class just to check the plant out,we knew that the more goo(trichs)the better the smoke,but it wasn't until college that the whole picture came together,we harvested when the pistals were 70-75% colored,not dead,just turning,hey if it was easy to grow killer meds they would be in abundance,so just keep on looking and learning,I see something new everyday,and I have been growing this magoo's majic for 20 years,its my own baby,and its baby sister magoo's white majic,is proven and ready for market,haha
