Plants are getting there, almost done and shit. Just want to harvest them at the right time, definately want them to be orange and more couchlocky. lol.
Anyhow my question is: How many times (x) does it need to magnify? ( For example: 10x, 20x, 50x, etc. ) Checked out a few local stores, including a jewelry store, no luck. So I'm guessing i'm left to ebay, and I just want your guys advice.
What do you use? Any other ways to tell when to harvest? I'm new to this so I think a surefire way is best.
try radio shack out bro
like 10 bucks or so for a pocket microscope
60-100 x
works the charm ;)

Damnit i went to radio shak, too! Guy told me he thought they used to carry 'em, but not anymore. :rant: Went to staples and a jewelry store too; best answer i got as to where they are sold is: "47th street in new york".
Gee that helps.
maybe he was wrong? :: shrug ::
yanno, i'm just gonna go back... and a lot smarter, too. Not only have you guys bought it, but it's right on the website. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103694&cp=&origkw=magnifying&kw=magnifying&parentPage=search Now I know it's a real product, and that it probably has to do with cables, and connectors. I will look harder for myself this time. lol.
