Need for a jewelers loop?

[Duhfiyaman]

So, I'm about halfway through the flowering phase and I'm starting to see frost form. I currently have a regular magnifying glass and I am wondering, is a jewelers loop necessary? Or will I be able to get away with just a magnifying glass? Money is kind of tight and here on oahu, I can't seem to find a place that sells them. What are your thoughts? I appreciate any information!

Thanks!

I use a Sherlock Holmes looking magnifying glass the most. I have a loupe that's 60 & 30 power with led light. Amber isn't that hard to see. I use the loupe to check for bugs.

Quality phones have good camers that can be used as magnifiers.. The best is a digital scope from amazon. I never found a use for a loupe.

Yeah that's what I'm using, I feel like I'm solving a crime when using it haha. I mean it just started producing crystals like 3 days ago so it's still suuuper early in the flower. I guess I'm probably over thinking it. It's my first grow and I don't want anything to screw up. I appreciate the feed back!

Why stop there? I hear the lens out of the first Hubble telescope is in the hands of a private citizen. Lol

I hope that's not your real picture in your profile..

If you can see the trichs clearly enough to make out individual ones and tell if they are clear, cloudy or amber then you're good to go. If I use macro mode on my digi cam I can blow the pic up on the computer and see them the size of plums. 20mp catches a lot of detail.

Any old pair of binoculars will give u 2 of the best lenses for viewing trichs or plant probs u will ever get(twice as good as a jewellers loupe ). £5 from car boot sale....just unscrew the 2 viewing lenses u look through and your good to go .....perfect....

Actually got a cheap set from harbor freight since I'm always breaking shit ......it's like 8 different lenses that you can stack to get desired zoom.......they were only like 4 bucks .......I once saw an aphid holding his penis flipping me off while testing them on some roses
