Trichomes
Trichomes are the resin glands of the marijuana plant. In the end it is the resin that contains the active compounds THC, CBD and CBG. When resin glands are fully grown, the cannabis plant starts making these valuable compounds. After several weeks time, the trichomes change color and the resin production stops. This is the perfect moment for harvesting your marijuana, but it is very tricky to see this with the naked eye.
The microscope is meant tofor assessing when this ideal moment for harvest is occurring.The resin glands change colour from translucent to opaque milky white and then turn amber and brown. The ideal moment to harvest is when most trichomes have turned a milky white colour. That’s when the THC percentage is optimal.
Insects and fungi
The microscope is not just a practical device during the flowering phase. Also during the growth phase of the cannabis plant the microscope is very useful. Already in early phases you can see whether your plant is being attacked by minuscule insects such as mite, but also starting fungi. With knowledge of your marijuana plant you can take early action and save your valuable harvest.
50x and 100x Microscopes for Weed plants
The weed microscope is available in two versions. Both the 50x and the 100x microscope are supplied with batteries. They are the same size, only the lens of the 100x microscope has a higher magnification. With the 50x weed microscope you can assess more trichomes at once for ripeness, while the 100x magnification is great for viewing single trichomes very closely.
