Dr. Russell Sharp explains practical ways to inspect hydroponic plants up close, from inexpensive hand lenses and phone macro attachments to investing in a stereomicroscope. He contrasts stereomicroscopes with compound microscopes and shares buying tips like LED illumination, stable stands, and camera attachments.
The episode covers how to spot pests and disease early, examine trichomes and flowers, check beneficial nematodes under a compound microscope, and use microscopes for documentation and customer engagement. Practical tips include starting at low magnification, keeping samples flat, and watching tutorials before use.
