Scales?

What are some of the best and most cost efficient scales to use?

I guess it would depend if one is growing pounds of pot or just a few plants for personal use.
Triple beam balance scales have been around a long time and are highly accurate.
I use a small electronic food scale. Just need to weigh ounces at a time. No cost to me, it was a gift. But I think they are around twenty or thirty bucks.

Ahhh...triple beams! I always found using triple beams therapeutic, but I'm old enough to have used a slide rule too!!! 😁

Oh man, sorry, but I think the venerable triple-beam scale is ancient, expensive, time-consuming, and no more accurate than electronic. Labs have been using electronic scales since back in the 80s (though the price sure has come down a lot since then!).

But yeah, grams or kilograms?

You can get a good, very accurate 100 gram scale at Amazon for about $10 these days. A bigger electronic kitchen scale goes for about three times that.

I used to roll joints as a job. Around 200 a day. I always used “tanita” very professional company. I used to weight 0.50 or 0.65 grams for each joint. When you roll a whole pound you realize even a 0.05 gram can make a difference in the amount of final joints. Chap scales get de calibrated very easily. Even when you weight the same thing over and over it gives you different readings. This does not happen to tanitas. You’ll pay 100 buck for a scale that will last your whole life

My wife has a salter 1052 kitchen scale, but after looking at the reviews on Amazon it cannot be the best. I found this Etekcity scale with far more positive reviews. I think my ph meter is by this company. https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Mult...+digital+scale I am going to order one myself.

[dpagano82]

lol thinking of getting this one too now

If you look on amazon,... "kitchen digital scale"..... there's a whole mess of them under $20.00. Just pick one you like the looks of and go for it.
