Harvest is coming, need a scale suggestion!

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes:

I'm harvesting in about a month, and I'm going to need a scale, it's purely personal, but still, one must weigh the crop!

Thus rather than walk into a random headshop, and buy a random scale, I figured I'd come here first for suggestions, and save some coin and headache.

I'm not weighing out analogs like 2-CI, just cannabis, so I don't really need it accurate down to the mg, which I know costs alot more.

So what do you think? What's right for me?

If it's ~$100 or so, cost is no object, quality is important to me, and I don't mind paying more for it.

I have the bombdiggity of scales for my scale.

Ohaus Scout Pro 2000g x 0.1g accuracy







Mine were 50 bucks used on ebay. From a real lab, nothing wrong with them. The weighing plate is a lot bigger on mine than the one in the pic, still I use a Tupperware on top and just tare it off.

Happy weighing,

I guess I was looking for a bit of a consensus on "these are the brands to get".

With so many different manufacturers out there, I figure some are MUCH better than others, even at the same price point.

For me, what I'm looking for is:

Digital, capable of weighing at least 1+ oz comfortably (more is better if it doesn't diminish accuracy, a big plate helps, don't mind tupperware taring at all though).

"Ohaus Scout Pro 2000g x 0.1g accuracy"

Sounds solid, and that's a whole lotta weight to maintain .1g accuracy, no?

I'm just trying to avoid a random search on ebay and end up with something far lower in quality than I could have had.

I want it to last, a long time. I don't mind taking care of it, but I don't want it to break.

So for $100 or less, what's going to be the "caddy" of scales? Surely there's at least a top 10?

Just looking to narrow things down, get the most bang (or scale) for my buck, and make it last.

Like all my tools, I like to have the best within my budget, and I feel $100 for a scale (though if I'm wasting money on unneeded features, obviously less doesn't hurt) is fair.

Just help educate me here guys, I'm clueless, and I've got a rule against making purchases while clueless.

Go to your local headshops and ask to look at them. They have some made especially for large quanities. But, that way you can get a feel for how big it is and test it out.

if you're weighing up weight, get a digital kitchen scale from walmart.

nothing pisses me off more than some fuckhead with a scale meant for dimebags when you're trying to sell him a serious ammount.

for under 100 bucks, you can buy two scales, a decent digital kitchen scale that can hold a big bag AND also good quality scale for weighing up grams, 8ths etc..

I wouldnt pay too much for a scale. Most of them these days are the same scales anyway that are ordered from chinese factories off www.alibaba.com and the person importing them just gets their own brand name put on. A good example of that is the "my weigh" brand. The cheap chinese scales are usually good enough for a few years of use.

Stay away from "truwiegh" though, I just broke one of those. complete shit.

Go to Wally-World and pick up a digital postal scale for around $20, it runs off a nine volt battery! It will measure grams and OZ's also pounds! You don't need a scale that measures 0.1 grams unless your weighing powder! I've had mine for 10-11 years and haven't had to change the original battery yet!!! It;s cheap to keep and you can leave it out on your computer desk cause it's a postal scale!!! No Worries, Don
