I also went to radioshack and asked the guy if they had pocket/mini microscopes. He had no idea what I was talking about. I started looking around and found it hanging on one of those racks in the middle of the store towards the bottom. He had no idea it was even there.

Exactly what happened with me, too. The kid had no clue what I was talking about. I just had to spend about a half hour prowling around the store examining every single shelf and rack. Finally found one, but it was no thanks to the guy who worked there.

Yeah, and these radio shack scopes are the EXACT same as the 420 scope minus the "420 scope" on the side, its a pricy bit of printing for 14.00 plus shipping.
I think they have a digital USB scope now for taking pics and uploading them to your camera or computer, i dont know how it works its ad is in hightimes.

in time you will all toss your scopes. i NEVER use one. i'll even tell you why:
new growth = new trichomes. new trichomes are always clear. so when you look at your trichs to tell when to harvest which trichs exactly are you looking at? the ones on the new growth or the old growth? everybody says "i see amber trichs". where? i can find amber trichs at 4 weeks and clear trichs at 11 weeks. so when do i harvest?
when the bud is "ripe" you will know it. it will be hard. the hairs will be MOSTLY brown. the calyxes will be swollen. the crystals will appear as a white glaze when viewed from a foot away. the hairs will be curly. they will look something like this ..........
the reports say this strain finishes in 8 weeks. i'm going on 11.
