I use the same one, theyre alright. They do the job atleast. But I find you either have to be extremely steady holding it and the plant close enough, or you have to pick a leaf off and check it. Some of those reviews are hilarious. "Great to make sure your bud is done" lol

people have been using those things for eons. the trick to using them is to not hold them while using them. put the leaf on a table or something with a suitable background color. set the scope on top of the leaf, then you make the adjustments with the lens.

those harbor freight loupes are for old people to read the news paper with ... lol:lol:

a 30x loupe would be ideal ... the radio shack one is good ... but a pain to use if your looking at buds while their still on ur plant:leaf:

That's ok if you are not older like me. And many years of straining eyes to look at the trichombs takes its toll. The wife say's I need glasses. I use one like this to look on the plant. Works good when trying to look around for preflowers.
