It compared a fake expedition to a real one.  The stamps on the fake do not look like this.  The pattern is wrong, it is not flush to the card, and it does not have the Wizards text\r\n\r\nEdit 3:\r\n\r\nu/Icanzu was downvoted quite a bit down below, but his edit/answer was accurate. The current ‘proxied’ holofoil stamps do not look like this. They are quite a bit different.","subreddit_name":"magicTCG","author":"Venomous72"},{"body":"I use [this one](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/). It's $7. The main downside is that it can be hard to take pictures through, but I haven't needed to in a while.\r\n\r\nIf you don't want to deal with amazon, you can find the same general loupe in other stores with gear for crafts or electronics work.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"I don't grow in soil, so I can't really comment on that part. \r\n\r\nStarting flowering after 4-5 weeks is normal. The purpling is probably a trait of the strain (it's in the name!) and nothing to worry about. The fan leaves often yellow like that near the end of the grow, kind of like turning autumn leaves. You'll need magnification of some sort (I use a [cheap 30x/60x loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/)) to check trichome maturity to know when to harvest, but based on your small pictures of the overall plant it looks like you're probably within 2-4 weeks of harvest.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"If you don't have any magnification, I'd suggest [this 30x/60x loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/), it's only about $7. There are some other magnifiers that will clip to phones (I haven't tried using those, they're probably easier to use for taking pictures), and also handheld microscopes and microscopes that plug into a phone with USB. I find those really hard to focus while holding in place on the plants, but some people prefer them.\r\n\r\nThe best way to tell when it's ready is looking at the trichomes on the buds, once they're mostly cloudy and some have turned from cloudy to amber. (More or less amber is a matter of taste; more amber is supposed to be more sleepy/couchlock.) If they're still mostly clear, it's not ready yet. Also, be sure to check the buds, not the leaves -- the leaves' trichomes can turn days or weeks earlier, before the buds are ready yet. You could look at those to practice telling clear, cloudy, and amber apart though.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"Same here. I bought one, but found it really hard to get it focused on any buds on the plant, and haven't used it in years.\r\n\r\nI use a [30x/60x loupe like this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/) instead. The one downside is it's hard to take cell phone pictures through.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"[One of these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/KINGMAS-Illuminated-Jewelers-Magnifier-Magnifying/dp/B00KMSE100/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=6GIKSA52NSCZ\u0026amp;keywords=magnifying+lens+led\u0026amp;qid=1653131727\u0026amp;sprefix=magnifying+lens+led%2Caps%2C263\u0026amp;sr=8-2-spons\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSDk4WDVIVzdTUDBIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjQwNzQ3NUVCR1FOUldCMEFBJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5ODU4NTczNTFQOUpDQkZMNFhFJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=)\r\n\r\nUsed elastic bands to secure it over my phones camera lens. This was a lot easier than trying to hold it to my eye and look at the harder to reach buds.","subreddit_name":"GrowingMarijuana","author":"master_he_fu"},{"body":"Rather than speculating about weeks, you're probably better off getting magnification and learning to check the trichomes. I use this [30x / 60x loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/). It's pretty cheap and works well, the main downside is that it's hard to take good pictures through it.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"I use [this loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/), the wider 30x lens means you can get a better sense of where you're focusing, then switch to the 60x lens if necessary.\r\n\r\nI have a pocket microscope similar to yours and find it very difficult to focus without moving off of what I'm trying to look at.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"I use [this 30x/60x loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/). Unless your eyesight is way better than mine, you'll probably need at least 30x magnification to tell clear from cloudy trichomes. Amber is easier.\r\n\r\nYou should wait to harvest until they're mostly cloudy on the buds (ignore the leaves -- those can change much earlier), and whether you wait for a larger percent to go from cloudy to amber is a matter of taste. I'm harvest once there's enough amber (2-5%) that I'm no longer second-guessing myself about them being cloudy, but I don't usually want couchlock so I don't wait for more to become amber.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"Get a loupe now, while you have some time. [Here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/) is a good one for $7.\r\n\r\nIn the future, if you're going to post pictures asking for advice, use more natural light. The purple light makes it harder to see important details.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"I tried one of those too, could never get it to focus while keeping it in place. I also tried using a USB microscope (I already had one), same problem. I've had the best luck with [this $7 30x/60x loupe](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMSE100/). The 30x lens is sometimes good enough, and when it isn't, it's got a fairly wide focus and helps to find places to check with the 60x.","subreddit_name":"Autoflowers","author":"parsing_trees"},{"body":"I've tried a few and the El cheapo ones on Amazon work best for lookin and seein IMO.
