After spending ~$1000 over 4 years of growing(still a rookie, though), I still haven't bought a magnifier. I was looking for advice.

I bought a loupe it has LED and UV light on it the LED is good at getting some light into the bud when looking at tric it was £20 off amazon. I did buy a usb microscope but sent it back it was hard to keep it steady in focus plus had to download an app that took a few times to get started and wasnt really impressed. Sometimes simple options the better one.Comment

Farmbuck That is the magnifier I said I couldn't use. Way too powerful. -
Gingerbeard my vision is really terrible in count of my severe diabetes so at 60X i'm able to see the little mushrooms inside head to determine if they are cloudy etc.. -
I've been looking at this one. With a power of 60-120, is it very necessary to hold it steady to get a clear viewing?

Same as driller.
I have a 10x jewelry loupe with light and UV light.
Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lolComment

I have a 60x loupe to look for bugs. I can see tric color with my eyes but have to use my phone camera zoom between 3 & 5x to see individuals & if the heads have mushroomed.Comment

If you want to look at trichomes, get at least 50x magnification.Comment

I think it depends on the person’s eyes 😁. I can see al clearly with a 10x magnifying. -
CaptainWiese91, you have good eyes. I also use mine for when I get bugs. -
Yea but I was referring to you wrote if you want to look at trichomes you need at least 50x.
Why I was writing it depends on the person’s eyes

I got one of these: https://belomostore.com/belomo-15x-loupe.html I bought a wi-fi microscope which works OK and takes nice pictures, but of course you can't hold it steady. You can put it on a stack of books or something, but the plants are hard to move now with colas hanging out everywhere. With the loupe I can easily check out any bud I want to...
