So i dont have a steady enough hand to see the trichromes under the 60x-100x lighted mag i bought. I have been cutting little tiny bits off the buds in order to check the trichromes. I feel so bad every time i take a chunk to look at under the mag. Does anyone have a better method? Is a 30x magnified loop easier to use?

Like shooting a gun or a camera. Brace yourself, sit if you can, brace the arm holding it. Control your breathing. Slow breaths. I dunno, that's how I do it.

Cut off a small sugar leaf and place it on a table to view it through the scope.

I brace the bud with my left hand, then bring the loupe in close with my right hand and use my left hand to brace my right hand. Works every time.

If you like, just forget looking through the loope...
30X or 60X whatever...

Read your plant--when the top cola quits popping out hairs, and they have all receded back into bud...
Then check... that is when the harvest window opens...after that you have
ten to fifteen days to harvest... BTW-I NEVER see amber and I never anymore check for Amber Tric's
because Amber Tric's = Degraded...
You Do Not Want your buds to degrade do you?

I use and prefer a 30x loupe, what jewelers use, tho usb microscopes are the deal, plug into your pc/laptop
and see a whole new world, use a pc image grabber to squeals of delight ...this years xames present for me! .lol

my buddy's got roundworms and posted them wriggling in his anus
...whatever turns u on I suppose ..? lol
