Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this? I am in about day 5 of flower and I was looking at getting a magnifying glass to use for checking the color of my trichomes as my buds mature . I believe that you need atleast a 30x magnifier to see the trics properly so I was looking at getting this
30x Jewelers Eye Loupe Magnifier Magnifying glass Lens - eBay (item 140242011521 end time Sep-14-08 11:12:13 PDT)

15 people have looked at this and no help huh ????

I would get the one from radio shack. It has a light and has plenty of power to see the trichs well.

I just thought that I could use a flashlight or something or look when the lights are on ? It was cheap so we will see thanks for answering

get a Macro lens for your camera, not only can you get in closer than all hell, you can take pics to share with us.

the focal distance on jewellers loupes are very very short eaning you have to have the loupe almost touching your eye and then you have maybe 1/4 inch of distance that will be focus ... it will be hard as hell for you to see what you are looking for with a loupe i would go with a lighted magnifyer as its lense is much bigger / more convenient

I have both of these items, the jewelers loop just doesn't work to see them. I got the one from radio shack about 12 bucks and some batteries and you can see them clear as a bell. I also want to get a good camera though, it would be nice to post them for all to see

Yes that's the one. you'll be amazed at what you see. It does go threw some batteries because once you start looking you can't stop!

I tried to look at some of the leaves lastnight just to see what I could see and nothing but maybe I gotta wait a while till I can see the trics. ?
