jewlers loupe?

So, my plant is about ready and i just want to check it with a loupe but i do not know where to buy one and i do not want to do it online because i need it here NOW Does anybody know what kind of store would sell a jewlers loupe? Would a jewelry store actually have one to sell? or should i go to a hobby store or something?

I dont know if you have a Lapidary shop/ Rockhounding store around you but that is where I picked mine up from. A local Pawn shop may even be able to tell you alot. They use them for quick inspections of stones.

Rite Aid has an end-cap display of several magnifying glasses, some which come with a cover to fit in your pocket.

Save your money and get a eye loop from a PHOTO shop, they use for looking at 35mm slides for cheap





About $13 at Radio Shack.

i bought this from radio shack today, and it works very well for viewing trichomes... The only thing that i dont like about it is that you have to touch it to your plant to get a good look... but i guess theres no real way around that... Over all an excellent choice if your trying to get a look at your trichomes on your plant... or just on bud you buy...a heady nug at 100X looks very cool.

thanks a lot for sugesting it roseman. and thanks everyone else.

Hey, I cut I half inch of trim leaf off the bud and put it on a plate to look at it.

sweet thats a great idea, ill do that next time i check em.

this works better then the plate

alright, ill mimick your little setup, and go take a look now.. Thanks roseman... and robert and everyone else.

i found a few amber trichomes, , some of em were cloudy too, but most of em were clear, how much longer u think... a week? 5 days?

paulio's trichome guide <<<have you looked over this guide yet...rob

yeah i did see that(im not trying to sound ungrateful though), but what im really wondering is how long it is going to take to become 50% amber, and 50% cloudy... right now they are mostly clear, but some are cloudy and a few are slightly amber..... have any idea how long till they are ready 50/50... thanks!

that's up to the plants genetics this is the forever part everyone talks about

yeah, i guess ill just wait and see.... anxiously.
