I use a fish weigher just hook the bud and your good
nice we dont have one of those anymore. used to fish but it's been years.. we go deep sea/salt water via shoreline too much snag in the damn rocks though. buds still kinda wet but imma air dry an hour out the jar then weigh just for curiosity. kinda drying up nice i suppose the grass smell is starting to fade more each day and i can finally smell the blueberry coming out a little more.

I use a 300g Digital scale.
i use a jewelers scale
I just use a cheap digital scale kitchen scale. So what if it's off a half gram or so. Gives me the info I need.
I had a jewler's pocket scale it cost like 20 bucks on amazon - it's small so you can't weigh everything so I used to have to separate into multiple buds and write down then add up.

those things last forever pretty much unless you lose it in a move like I did ....
Bought my digital scale straight out of CHINA for $6.99 and free shipping 4 years ago
I love Amazon
Come on, guys. Can you please post links? That would be very helpful.

I bet I can guess which one you're talking about. The American Weigh Gemini-20? Great scale, but only weighs up to 21 Grams. It's more made for measuring milligrams.

1. what kind of scale do you guys use to weigh in bulk? not like pounds but just after harvesting say couple ounces or something.

2. do you think it is pointless to weigh your harvest? if so why? i was just going to weigh for personal preference to see how much i get per harvest
i use rocks and a balance scale nothing like 18th century weighing

500G x 0.01 Precision with piece counting

Can put a bowl or Tupperware container on it, tare/zero balance, and weigh up to half a kilo on it -- over a pound at a time!

The calibration weight is sold separately which costs as much as the damn scale! It's a 500G weight Haha! They don't list that in the scale ad, trust me! LOL!

... there was a time when scales were hard to come by and super expensive. Sort of amazing how drastically cheap they've gotten over the decades. In the 1990's forget about it... having a scale meant buying a triple beam!

i never calibrate use kitchen scales a LOT and they seem very accurate still for what im scaling which is usually food of course. only time i really had to calibrate the scale was when i worked at this small beef jerky company with my ex sous chef. everything was packaged/made by hand and it was FDA approved so we had an inspector come in daily for 1-4 hours watching us and everything we do. we had to use some sort of special scale though for accuracy

Oh man do I wish I still had the trusty ol' desktop, Triple Beam balance scale, "borrowed" from the High School Chem lab....

Digital postal scale for bulk, pocket jewelers scale for portioning, and dry nutes….
Use a Google machine, pick one.
A scale, is a scale. They come in many shapes and sizes.
Wait….Now I'm wondering how much my scales weigh....
