I drove through Missouri once on my way to Amarillo Texas.....

It was raining, I was pulling a U-Haul..... dude beside me in a Cadillac was SIDEWAYS going down the freakin' highway..... and am pretty sure he was doing it on purpose as we were coming around that major bend............ If you've been through St Louis Can of Worms you probably know the turn I am talking about.

True story.....

My father in law was a scientist and inventor, before he died, he invented an attachment, that would hook up a microscope lens to one of those Fischer Price kids cameras....

Now they're all over the place and being done in all sorts of different ways, the fun part of this story is that he didn't sell it to Fischer Price, he GAVE it to them because as a scientist he thought it was more important to give kids the ability to look at things under a microscope.

I also live in upstate NY there is a chemical free product called ObugZone and I swear by them I’m in the woods everyday and with that card on my person I never have had a tick but without it I get lots of them. I was just down in FL and no ticks with my tick card till one eve I walked out to my truck without that card and got a tick. I have a warm body temp so I’m a tick magnet. They can be found online at ObugZone.com or maybe a local pet supply place may carry them. Worth the 10 bucks every 3 months

Upstate NY here as well, turkeys apparently eat up to 200 ticks a day...I have a whole flock of 10+ that comes by in the morning and it seems like they got them under control...and my property used to be littered with ticks since deer walk through

Ya chickens eat a ton as well.

I haven't seen a single turkey this year. Usually I see tons through out the year.

Last year did get hard a bit though, even had to bust out the roof rake...

I don't know what the fuck this is, but its dead. Adult Thrip? ...or a juvenile?




.... From the World Wide InterWeb...so, Im thinking adult.

Ok yeah... this thing is freaking me out. I had just washed my hands, and slipped the tip of my finger under the microscope at 1200x's..... fucking gross. Im gonna quit looking at things. I had recorded a video of my fingerprint, and I saw pores opening and closing, releasing sweat or oil,... freaked me smooth out.

SoOooOOo.. I found out I had thrips in my Mother tent. Got this handy little microscope to verify my kill with some Captain Jacks. Looks like it worked. Highly recommend one of these. It will make it easier to identify the occasional bug. Like $95 on AMZ.. I need to set the date/time on this thing.

Man..... il pass.

Not because I dont think it is a worthy investment because I do in fact think its worth while.

Its because everything looks creepy as fuck that close up.

True... everything does look creepy. But!.. it's a useful tool for us to tell when to harvest, and like today, I took it on the road with me to show Dispo owners/buyers that we ain't got nothing to hide. I'll pull it in real tight, and they are amazed. The tops of the Trichs are in tact, and they can see there is no mold or foreign material in there. They really dig it. A few of them said that this was the first time a Grower brought such a tool for selling. Sold 6 lbs today just bumping around small towns, and visiting previous and new clients.

Ya I love mine. I got a cheaper one on Amazon for like $30-40. It's not as high powered as yours though. I'd never go back to a loupe.

Great microscope. I've been using it myself for a long time. When I bought it I didn't have enough money and that's why I decided to borrow a small amount of money here before my paycheck. I haven't regretted my decision one bit and have been enjoying this microscope for a year now. And if you also use a discount coupon, then you can even buy it right away.
