Trying to see tricomes to know when to harvest

I have bought 2 microscopes and I can see the tricomes with them but It's really hard to make out the different shades... I bought one that I thought was 30x magnification but it doesn't seem strong enough..I am looking for recommendations on what i should buy because I think I am very close.

Most likely the replies will say;
don't go off trichs
60x is better
share a picture of full plant
don't consider pulling until all hairs (pistils) have turned and receded and even then add 2-3 weeks
bout a pound

It is a strawberry pie auto flower it's right around day 60-65...I had trouble a little while ago with nute burn...I haven't given them there last cycle of nutes so I'm hoping I still have another 20+ days

You can almost tell from the pictures I took how the tricomes look hahaha

They look pretty good to me. Could always use a closer look.. but there’s always the last response on the list which seems best.. 2 more weeks. Let her go if the weather permits.

She looks done to me. Its growers choice when u chop.
Your phone has a magnifier on it. It's under vision impared or on my android its a lil guy on bottom rt corner. U can get some close ups on trichs.
Is that 65 from sprout or 65 in bloom?

A 60x jewelers loupe is IMO the best option for anyone with "generally ok" eyesight

65 from sprout. I've don't some research and it has a 70-90 seed to harvest recommend time so I guess I'm right around then

U gotta watch them autos they ripen a lil quicker sometimes. Check this guy's journal.

Yea dude I'm caught in a spot now because I'm on the east coast in Ocean city MD and we're getting rain for the next 3 days straight so I'm thinking of just pulling it now but idk if it smarter to wait

The buds either haven't swelled, or there's really not a lot of calyxes, which is my guess, because it looks like all the pistils have browned. I'd go a couple more weeks imo, just to be sure. Your plant though.

Try taking a picture with your phone….then zoom in if you can

I would look a little more closely to this… some one making a home ?

It looks done to me. Looks like it dwarfed so I don't think waitn will increase yield or a big swell is coming. U can miss the gd window with them autos cus they amber fast and start trich degradation quicker. Some don't amber when ready. Its your call. U can do a partial harvest and see if now or later is better.

I get it man. I'm not judging, just pointing out what I see. At least you made it to the end and she looks relatively healthy. Looks like you got another in the background, so I'm sure you'll be good.
