I need a new scale

I need a scale for weighing dry nutes and buds.
Under$20, o.01g to about a pound range.

Anyone try one of these or have a better choice?

I have 2 of those exact same units you listed, both serve me well.

I bought a $20? scale at a trade-show 20 years ago. It still works great!

I bought a $80 scale at a hydro store that only lasted 6 months.

I bought a 0.001 scale from amazon, still working after a year but the tare OSD button doesn't work too well.

Here's my advice:

Get a rechargeable scale that uses a cell phone charger ; )

.

I've had the ones you linked for a couple of years, works great - my favourite scale.

Why weigh dry nutes are you using that much per feeding? Simple measuring cups are a lot less of a mess.

That scale is fine except I wouldn't trust it for anything under a gram.

For weights under a gram you'll want to get a gram scale if that level of accuracy is required. I have one similar to that kitchen scale and a gram scale I use for weighing small amounts of chemicals like those used for mixing STS.

Something like this.

Measuring cups are for 5 gallon buckets, I don't want a whole teaspoon set around any more for small batches of clone/ foliar/ pesticide mixes.
Half a teaspoon here per qt for one mix, tablespoon there per half gallon, and then try to keep it all straight while smoking a j and doing fractional batch mixing.
Just easier to mark it in sharpie for gm/liter and not do math at all.

Besides, that doesn't help me weigh my buds.

Thanks for the link. Been needing a new one myself.
Just ordered a green scale and some weights.
Needed something with a bigger tray. (For measuring "nutes" )

They still make triple beams.

I have an old set of gun powder scales that I use to measure my GH powder nutes.....similar to the ones linked below

Gun powder is measured in grains (1 grams = 15.4 grains) and the scales are accurate to 1/150 of a grain......actually good gun powder scales are accurate to 1/600, but that degree of accuracy is not required for what I'm using them for.

I threw mine away decades ago, had the big huge one...single kilos weren't enough.

I don't remember what happened to mine but I think I still have an old one of these in a box out in the garage.

Megacrop recommended amounts are done by weight, not volume. I've seen some guys dialing in MC, by half or even quarter grams.
