magnifying glass info needed

[bluntman2006]

what strength of magnifying glass I need for detecting mites and trichomes:confused:

[karmaxul]

Needed none if you know what your looking for and have good eyes. 30x if you want to get in the action.

LOL...cmon dude...

You gonna tell me you can look at the trichs and see their colors with your naked eyes?

And, you are gonna tell me you can see spider mite eggs with your naked eyes as well????

How about the black craps they leave after taking a dump...can you see those two?

Man you got some good fucking eyes. : )

Go to radio shack and for 10.00 they have a battery powered tiny magnifyer that does between 30X - 100X close up.

You would want one of those for both inspection and harvest timing.

I found, on the net, a pic of a guy who has an awesum camera...and even blown up, full sized enlarged, you can see a sea of trichs...but not well enough to know the percentage of amber trichs...

karmax...you need to get a job working for the intelligence community and you could work as a spy satellite with those eyes of yours.

Most of us are mere mortals with glasses....and contacts:thumbsup: :smokin: :stoned:

I have used the red radio shack ones they are pretty cool. You dont have to look at the trich color so much as the geometries of it. They grow,mushroom, swell, bend, degrade (amber). I do have good eyes and feed them well but my favorite muscle to grow is the heart.
Very good at guessing the gram wieght to the tenth of nugs

With enough experience I totally agree bro.But we're talking about ppl who just started growing.Look I have perfect vision but I can't seee amber trich's...I can't hardly see them with a 15x mag.glass.
60-100x is needed to truely see your thrichomes color.
But after several grows it isn't needed as much as at first.
But in the begining(like the first 5-10 years of growing I wouldn't suggest anything less then 60x)To be acurate.

And Hard on....Karmaxul seems to think his methods are the best and everybody else just doesn't know shit.Sorry Karmaxul...thats just how you come across.Need to work on your neticate...lol.Because I'm sure your not really like that.I acted similar to u when I first started coming in these forums.But after a month I realized ppl take things way to serious in chat rooms and forums.So I've learned to hold my toungue and pick my battles...u know! Just a little advise.You can tell me to shove it up my ass if you want .I'm just being honest.And I wont take offence because I don't even know you.In real life we'd probably get along well,I bet.

I agree with the gorilla. The ones at radio shack are the perfect price for what they are.

[karmaxul]

Just giving my prospective like everybody else. I dont think I have put anyone down that I can think of. Sorry if I affended you Jdog.

No offence taken here.I guess I was worried about other ppl's feelings...lol

radio shack are back ordered, found 1 for 8 bucks at www.bhphotovideo.com its a mini 30x pocket microscope.

[bluhoo]

i also have the radio shack one, and a jewelers loop. they run about $10 on ebay. Find them easier to use for quick looks as looking through the small scope of the radio shack micro is hard to focus with. I use both of them and find that I pick up the loop much more.

last i heard.... spidermites are organic and pose no threat to us

Its the molds i would worry about... more than organic bugs... people eat bugs all over the world

Almost every weed smoking person out there has smoked, vaped or ate spidermites at sometime in their life and probably didnt even know it:hippy::D

[BackWoodDrifter]

Radio Shack used to make a 30X that was perfect....now it it like 60-100X and that is almost too powerful

I think 30X is perfect, I get by with the 60X of the Radio Shack one.

I think you are missing the point. Spider mites pose no threat to us, but they munch on your plants and can do major damage if left to do so.

I'm half-blind and use a 5x magnifying glass to check for trichome development and any insects or insect poo. Harder to see color, but experience helps with that.

I have the Radio Shack Pocket Microscope, but rarely use it on my meds. But it does allow me to inspect other's meds that I occationally 'test'.
