The best magnifying glass for trichomes makes harvesting your cannabis at the perfect time easy!

To harvest at the right time, we need to see inside the trichomes.

The only problem is we can’t see the trichomes with our naked eye, so we need help to pick the perfect harvest time.

That’s where the best magnifying glass for trichomes comes in.

Today I’ll show you the best 420 scopes for trichomesm and why you need one.

WHY DO YOU NEED A MARIJUANA MICROSCOPE

I’ve touched on it a little bit so far, but there are three ways to pick your harvest time:

Ratio of dark to white pistils
Time
Cloudy trichome vs amber trichome ratio
The best and most fool-proof by far is by gauging the color of the trichomes.

Trichomes are where all the magic happens in cannabis.

These mushroom shaped crystalline structures, also called resin glands, are where the THC is produced.

And these resin glands will let you know exactly when they are at their peak of THC productivity.

Clear trichomes mean your plants aren’t ready.

Once most of your trichomes are mostly cloudy, they are at their peak.

Amber trichomes mean your plants are starting to develop a high CBN count which will give the marijuana a couch lock effect.

You can harvest when your trichomes are anywhere from 2-60% amber.

Any more than that and the THC degradation will start to take its toll on the cannabis.

Some growers prefer the head high and harvest while the trichomes are cloudy, while others prefer the body high you get from amber trichomes.

Either way, you need the best microscope for checking trichomes, or you’re not going to see anything.

WHAT MAGNIFICATION DO YOU NEED TO LOOK AT TRICHOMES?

  • Magnification: It is important to have excellent magnification capabilities, which will allow you to have a closer look at what the eyes could not normally see.
  • Clarity: As the microscope magnifies your view of the marijuana, it is also important that the view remains clear.
  • Illumination: Especially in the case of the advanced models, they have built-in LED lights, which are great for providing illumination to the marijuana.
  • Durability: See to it as well that it is made of durable materials that can resist wear and tear, making it offer the best value for the money.
  • Ease of Use: Some of the features that will make the microscope user-friendly include being sleek and lightweight.
