Industry Let me see those trichomes!

As a keen gardener 👨‍🌾😉 I’m used to using an eye loupe absolutely. 😉

I’ve just tried and can’t get my bloody phone to take a pic with it but I’m going to see about picking one up on Vinted that works with my phone :)
Amazon do a USB C/Lightning plug in one that is half decent and about £20 from memory or you can get clip on one from china off the bay or alibaba if can be bothered waiting for around £4.
 
Delivery tomorrow of Mrs's meds and going to order a new loupe now .
Do you remember the first time you looked through a loupe at weed😍
That pic shows how the process goes on in every trichome .

The fist time I watched the trichome go from clear like a tiny glass dome, then gets that little pocket inside, then the little pocket bursts and it’s suddenly cloudy, then those sexy cloudy trichomes turn that beautiful gold/amber glow as the light shimmers down upon its glory, it’s just amazing. 😋🥰🤤 Would love to see a time lapse of the whole thing!!
 
It'll be done soon @AndyH82 and we can get down to some trichography😁
My loupe arrived yesterday so playing round with me buds at the moment , I'll have to see how they turn out in a pic
 
Even with a USB microscope. It's still hard to get a good picture!! Might have another bash in the morning!!

The heads on the farm gas look to be in the sweet spot imo. Had it myself last month and the effects were ideal for me, really calming and it makes complete sense after seeing the trichs. Would be nice to see pictures of all the strains available moving forward along with these macros. I could send some pictures of my next prescription. Just my 5 pence of the evening 😂

Going to try and get pics of each strain I get too and it could turn into a great library of strain trichome ripeness for patients who like that sort of stuff 😁
 
My fears are confirmed, as an x grower, all those buds were harvested for peak THC, no complaints, as it’s medicinal. I’m not seeing the 10%-20% Sativa or 30%-40% Indica ambers/golds/purples I’d normally expect from a properly harvested fully mature bud. Sadly, that means there’s no/little cbn, so the cannabis looses its sedative properties, it’ll get you high, but won’t get you “stoned”. I tried some white widow from a clinic and thought “this is not white widow”, It got me high but just wasn’t the sedative I’m used to or expected. Why I made this post, I was wondering why. Now I understand what they’re saying about “legal” cannabis being different from “illegal” cannabis, it’s the maturity, they’re harvesting it early so it stays just a painkiller and anti anxiety, but doesn’t become the sedative like a diazepam or zopiclone. I’ve had smoke in Amsterdam that sent me to bed after half a j, “Why is bud like this not available legally?” “Why am I not hearing ‘this bud is nuts, I was gone after 1 vape’? Question answered! You can smoke all day but you’ll never get truly stoned to the bone. ❤️ Thanks dragons 🐉
 
I will say I have seen some over ripe whilst looking in the last day or so just not had time to sort it all out and get good pics yet.
