Aint no better indication my dude. Loupe or gtfo 
gotta check those Trichs
That’s a damn roach you’re playing with man. You better get rid of him or you’ll have millions of them. Just saying
There’s other ways just nowhere as accurate. Especially when you’re shooting for couch lock. Lol
O it’s definitely possible. Just i know trichs dont lie. Pistils lie. Buds lie. But trichs dont lie

Pill bugs or rolly pollies are generally considered a good thing when outside say in your compost pile but I’m not sure if this would be something you would want to have in your potted plants. I’ve never had issues with them in any plants I keep (non cannabis) outside in pots during the warmer months but see them all the time in my compost and around the yard. I know they are good to have around again just not sure if would be an issue in my cannabis pots. More than likely if your growing primarily indoors but take them outside for awhile it is just visiting. I would scrape around the top couple inches of soil and pluck any out you might find.
So it sound like your happy with the purchase of the magnifying device. Good deal

You are right. Just got the loop and it works like a charm. I can finally see the trichomes. Cloudy with few amber. So I wait and see. I’m gonna get me a Kief tumblr. The little plant I pulled the other day and dried. Only had a few heads leaf on the trichomes. The stalks were there but the heads fell off while handling for drying and jarring to cure. I’ll tumble the weed after it drys next time.

Serious stuff on tumbling. With little handling of freshly cut and dry weed nearly all the heads on the trichs were gone, only the stalks and random heads remained. If a person is gonna smoke his crop, and not gonna use the buds to make concentrates, and doesn’t want to lose the majority of their cannabinoids. The person at very least should tumble after drying. I’m old school and prefer the flowers, and never have cared for dabs but it’s too wasteful to lose all the goody just trying to jar for curing. I will make hash or use in edibles 
I’ve gone and cut off Schizandra’s two sets of large leaves and the small leaves below, leaving the remaining upper two, and even those two I thought of cutting.
She can now focus on growing her side branches where she will flower in time.
This is her first day of her eighth week. September is next week when the sun’s rays starts to diminish. Temperature in mid October in New England will range in the low 70’s to low 60’s.
I’ll know soon enough if I made a smart choice. If not, well, chalk it up to experience.

I ordered one of the same multiple magnifying loops. Mine works like a champ! Hope yours treats you good. If you can’t see just get your eye closer to the loop it worked for me.

I decided to go ahead and cut off the two remaining large leaves. Perhaps now she’ll grow sideways forming branches for her flowers.
I thought of that, but won’t that trigger her to flower? Someone here did that, and it started to flower. But again, if I don’t Top her, she might zoom up vertically.
I will top her!
Stand by while I go and do it, and take a picture. . .
THERE!
They did it after it began flowering. Are they autos? And more importantly do u see pistils (sign of sexing plants) after pistils start, i dont recommend topping. But if ur still well into veg, it’ll help immensely

LOL!!!
A thought similar to that entered my mind. Now she looks like she’s been ravaged. Yeah, skinny.
I told myself earlier, I’d never lop off her top, but the warm season is soon ending by late October, so time is short.
