Aloha Fellow RIPer's~

I have been reading and searching and lookin around trying to locate the best (within a reasonable amout of $$$) handheld micrscope for two reasons:

1.) To better see trich production/conditions.
2.) To be able to capture the image on my computer and upload pics to this very forum.

But you guys have used them so I'mma pick ur brains a bit bc its makin my head spin from all the reviews, YouTube vids, etc...
The selections are vast, however, the reviews on most are not favorable.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated as it is getting near~

Enjoy ur day and thank you in advance~

:peace: pua

Man, how are they just gonna advertise the same scope on a 420 website, and charge 150% more for the same product?

I wonder if this is the one you meant... It does look like a very good one, right?

Check out this one on eBay, as far as I can tell, it;s the exact same scope, except it's 60 bucks less!

i dont buy or even search from ebay.
but here. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Microscope-endoscope-Tripod-AGPtek%C2%AE/dp/B005AF0DKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340740130&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+microscope+800x
same deal, with a card reader for a few bucks more.

Meta, have you compared hash bags, or drying racks, etc. on amazon and at the local hydro?
its pretty common practice.

One thing to note. These really only focus at 2 set points of magnification. (for the 400x)
You can get a good bud shot, then a shot of a small area of trichs.

That any different for you Racer?

I would expect the 800 would have just 1 more focus point that could get a close up on a few trichs.

I've done the comparisons, and a lot of the time, my hydro store is cheaper. The only thing they really charge more for is lights and inline fans. Some other things might be marked up a few dollars more, but that's the price you pay to be able to look at and touch an item before you buy it. I get most all my shit on eBay or Amazon, though. But I wans't really talking about our local hydro shops...There are plenty of hydroponics websites that have great prices, comparable to even eBay and Amazon.

EXCELLENT! Thank you sooo much. :)

And hey on a side note... I bought a couple of those screen drying racks (self contained/ not open, which I need for the protection from... I don't know, my dog hairs? LOL) from Amazon today, $34.00 bc @ the store they're ridiculously marked up.

Thank you so much. I'll be checkin back in too bc I wanna know about hash bags too... :)

I dont see how a site and a hydro store are any different on the matter. Either way its still common.
I am not saying everything at hydro stores are overpriced, just a few items.
I actually get my ballasts, bulbs, everything else for my grow, under MSRP, and cheaper than I can get them on amazon.

Good buy. Those cost around $60 at my hydro store.

These are the bags that I got. Gives you less grades of hash if you go the bubble bag route. But i just ended up doing shitty grade for cooking, and the better for smoking.

I ended up ditching bubble hash, and now instead do either dry ice hash with the mid grade bag, or do butane hash.

You are absolutely correct a great many just have the two settings and nothing in between.
