Or think about the many examples of research you’ve read about in this text. Think about the topics you’ve learned about in other sociology classes you’ve taken or the topics you’ve considered investigating yourself. The question of what social scientists measure can be answered by asking oneself what social scientists study. Figure 6.1 depicts the monstrosity I created, all because I did not respect the value of measurement. That cake was the lumpiest, most lopsided cake I’ve ever seen. How hard could it be? As it turns out, it’s not easy guesstimating precise measures. I’d baked before, I reasoned, and I had a pretty good sense of the difference between a cup and a tablespoon. A couple of years ago I attempted to bake my husband a birthday cake without the help of any measuring utensils.
As someone who much prefers rebelling against precise rules over following them, I once learned the hard way that measurement matters. If, for example, you have ever baked a cake, you know well the importance of measurement. Recognizing that fact, and respecting it, will be of great benefit to you-both in research methods and in other areas of life as well. Identify the stages at which measurement is important.Describe Kaplan’s three categories of the things that social scientists measure.Usually if you are careful and watchful you will end up with around 5% clear trichomes, 10% amber and 85% cloudy trichomes. It's almost impossible to harvest without at least some amber trichomes (and some clear), keeping the amber trichomes to the minimum is key if you want maximum potency out of your plant. It's a judgement and preference call really.
Some people choose to harvest the tops first and let the bottom nugs grow a bit more to let the trichomes mature and develop further but also to let the buds fatten up more. It's important that you check all over the plant, since trichomes will usually develop and produce faster at the top(s) of branches and slower and the bottom of the plant. Getting one that can go to 100x would be even better, but the more magnification the more cost.Īll you have to do is take a small sample of a leaf with trichomes on it, or if you have a loupe or a USB microscope simply look at the trichomes on the plant to determine their 'state'.
I would recommend getting ones that can at least go to 60x magnification. The best way to check how the trichomes on your plant are doing is by means of a loupe or a microscope.
