30x micro for checking pests or should i do a 50x?

[FriendlyGuy]

Im thinkin 30 but than again i know for sure 50 would PROB be more of a crisp image.. BUT if that were true than im sure people wouldnt keep repping up 30x.. I never seen anyone say "oh id get a 50x micro scope for your grow too" is it because 30 does the job and 50 fuckin NAILS the job? but for people on budgets theyd rather saving money over performance?

 

[tip top toker]

I use 100x if that confises you any more

 

[FriendlyGuy]

stfu i didnt even know there was such thing.. isnt that overkill cuz you can only see a small portion of the leaf?. i should do a 30 and a 100x.... 30 to see the broad field if i see anything wierd than switch to 100x to take the peak. sound good?

and fuuuck maaan I love how i get smarter cuz than i start to notice when reading books that the pros leave out all the small extra tweaks i know and realize which ones really care about providing info for a PERFECT grow and which ones just give you starter-advanced info..

like ppl rep out 30x when in reality the ppl doing that are using 100x lmfao hahahaha

(man try this fox farm soil! they run off to get a wierd brand soil that is BETTER...)

Haha, it's just oneofthe generic radioshack variable scopes. It has an LED and you have a focus and zoom dial, they cost a few bucks, really not that expensive. You certainly can't see as much at 100x but it looks pretty. I really want to get a USB scope

LMAO very well put friendly I use both as well, for me its just easier to spot under 30x and if you have issues identifying switch to 100x

 

[NorthernLights#5]

looks like i found my next buy

and for only $45

How does a usb differ compared to a 50x scope that comes with an L.e.d light? and i didnt know scopes can adjust.. thats siiiickk

man for my sig i should put down "Sometimes I feel like I was born under a fucking rock"

BTW: I dont think that usb scop is portable it looks like its aimin straight down with a cord... than again USB are known for being Portable.. so idk.

 

[NorthernLights#5]

the stand pops off and this one has 30 60 150x zooms

Well it's hardly portable considering it needs a computer to make it work, but it kiks the arse out of a handheld if it's of any decent quality. I wouldn't mind being able to take screenshots of my trichs

 

[NorthernLights#5]

tit top your thinking like me it would be great to look at a 17in+ screen and see everything, and th pics you could take would be UNREAL

 

[tip top toker]

I've also wanted to do some larrge 30" printouts of em for hanging on walls. You can get some trippy as fook pictures

 

[jawbrodt]

Go with something capable of 100x, you'll thank me when it comes time to look at your trichs. 30x will do the job, but 100x rules.lol

 

[kindbud27]

just get a set of eye jewelers loupes at 10-30x then extra $20 get a 60-100x microscope for the chromes.

oooohhh do i take pics with it.. like lil snap shots.. and THAN take it to my comp so i wont be able to see what the results are UNTIL i process through comp? or does it need to be connected to it to work? cuz I dont have a cord long enough to do that haha

You'd forever be running back and forth trying to take a good picture if that was the case, it is a microscope that plugs into your computer, it then displays as a live video what it is seeing. you can then either just look at it as you move around, or you can either through software supplied or with the good ol print screen button, save a picture of the trichomes

Who wouldn't want that hung and framed on their wall, or even printed onto canvas and wrapped?

hell yes! I like the idea of that kind of funky artwork. It's not just a big picture of a big plant, although that could be amusing if positioned correctly, but it's funky, trippy and alien and weird and i like it! i rarely ever bother checking trichomes, but i'd buy a usb scope to do that
