Cannabis microscopy

The amscope software generates the images and measurements, as well as does all the fancy counting and other science stuff. And videos.

Its quite impressive.

Thanks! It helps me to do many things, like sex plants before they bloom :wink:


definitely a male, 100%! The next one is female/hemie we’ll see for sure…in a bit.

well either a female or a hermie, but we’ll know soon! Looks like I bet on the right horse, my feeling about the images presented at 5/7th node was right. I will cut down the male before it blooms.

it’s been 7 days in bloom, I am almost at the halfway mark for determining if it’s female or hermaphrodite. Then I know if I can plant that clone and bloom it, or start on sensi star! yay! I can sex em at the 5/7th node but I’m not sure if I can do it earlier than that, based on visual inspection. I’ll keep looking though! Observations are key.

I saw a strange blob on the plant when I had taken a photo of the male with my hand in there. Once I saw one on the female I had to go and image it under the microscope. I think it’s some kind of resin blob? I’ll taste it.

tasted bitter and made my teeth resin-y. Definitely what it is, plant resins.

Ever some back from the farmers market with a plant swimming in parasites? No? Then you haven’t been to the farmers market… lol! I count six legs, I think it’s the remains of an aphid. It’s skin or something.

here’s a couple of tiny white marks on the leaf. If you are ever in doubt, check it out :wink: but if bugs had done the crime, I would see them there. One leaf had some tiny white marks, so I had to check them out, see what it was! Turns out it’s nothing. Even if it was some kind of fungus I could see that easy.

They are more than fish eggs now at day 25. It’ll be interesting to run this plant in the 20 liter pails!
oh crap when I imaged this before I fucked up the scale. hah these trichomes are looking normal, not extra large.

Dissected a cannabis seed just to see what was inside. The meat breath seed was an empty pod, go figure. It had the green inside coating but no white seed. So I dissected some bagseed ones until I got a good one I hadn’t destroyed. Those white hearts in the seed are so fragile!

Some interesting images! FLC-BX1 on the microscope. An interesting hue to the outside edges of the trichome, I wonder if that’s real or image trickery. Ahhh all shall be revealed in time, young grasshopper.

There aren’t as many amber ones as I would like, but that’s ok. By the time I’m done bagging them up, they’ll be amber as hell.

not really cannabis related, but this is a cabbage butterfly egg. They just showed up today and started laying! I can spray them with BTK or put a row cover over them. I usually do both.
