Hey bro thanks for the insights. Exactly what i was askinHey Hey guysSorry if my post came accross abrupt - i've done my back in and am in quite a bit of pain, and not my usual upbeat cheery self.
So i'll clear things up about the loupe.
@Shrederr - I do have a loupe and i did use it in the past. The thing about autoflowers that should be noted is that some won't turn amber at all (trichs) - you could keep em growing until they are well and truly dead (and they WILL die after time) and they still may be loudy.
I've never had a auto remain clear (although i have chopped early to test effects..it wasnt for me), and spotting cloudy trichomes isn't tricky (even without a louple) .. they'll either be glistening clear like crystals .. or white and cloudy.
Having a loupe is a good idea ... for all growers! I'm not saying i'd use it much .. but having it in the box so i can check there's no sign of early mold ... or even to ease my mind that everythings looking as it chould close up.
With a photoperiod plant .. I think i'd be far more keen to look at the trichs as a harvest indictor. With an auto .. the trichs wont mature past the hairs turning brown and orange.
So for summary (after the ramble!)... A loupe is cheap .. and you may as well have one in your toolbox .... but you probably won't iuse it much after a few auto grows as you get the feel for when it's ready - all the other indicators will show you!
Hope this is a better explanation, than my slightly annoyed previous post!
Apologies for letting any bad vibes out!!
Good to know!
