what do yall weigh with

[budsofmadison]

so i noticed that my scales were off ,when weighing in at 1 oz in would read 30 grams . so today i purchased this accuweight 257 set and a set of calibration weights they will be here Friday

 

[budsofmadison]

so it got me wondering what does everyone else use and how to make sure there accurate

Knock off blade digital scale...had it for about 8 years now. People would let me know I'm sure

I put my stuff in a jar and smile, I really have no idea how much I get. Long as it’s tasty and delivers the intended feeling.

I’m probably in a minority, just don’t really care.

Most accurate means of weighing bud imo.
Couple of the older guys i know around here thats all they use.
The one guy took his from his high-school in 9th grade, hes now 71, its weighed out some weed too lol. Probably 500 pounds or more.

We ended up trading ours for an ounce of Colombian, when we both moved and could no longer plant our weed patch. Does yours have Guilford High School engraved on it somewhere?

Mine says aws blade on the piece that pops out and so does the tray it came with. I have the og 1000g model you cant find anymore. I bought it when i was 16 and ill be 26 in a few weeks. So almost 10 years, still going strong.

that's true but a 5 gram nickel does no good to see if higher weights are off plus most scales i have seen needs at least a 50 gram weight to calibrate

10 nickles stacked seemed to work to for me as a calibration weight a few years ago.
I have a 50, 100, and 500g weight set now but i just check with a nickel, if it reads 5.0, you should be calibrated right because it wouldnt read 5 if it wasnt calibrated lol.

you are right but nickles can be worn and be off . and on the scales i been using a nickle wieghs 5 grams but an oz is weighing at 30 grams scales can be right on smaller weight and off on heavier weight

I have never seen that with mine.
If your scale was off, how do you know you were weighing an oz?
Did you buy it? Most stores ive bought from give 30g ozs.

i really dont know the weight because the scales are OFF an oz is 28 grams not 30 grams even in troy oz its 31 grams not 30
if my scales are set to weigh an oz its says 1 oz then if u change it to grams its says 30 there off on heavy weight

Thats weird, ive really never seen such a thing, but i always leave my scale in grams, ive never tried to weigh 28g as an oz before.

 

[4Plants]

Seems just about right for today

No need for a video, im following what you're saying now.
I thought you had weighed what you knew was an oz but it was reading 30g.
You're saying 1oz on your scale also reads 30g.

 

[budsofmadison]

i got 2 sets of scales and for some reason both say the same thing they got new batteries but i have had these scales for 10 yrs
i was always told a quarter was 7 grams and a oz was 28 when i weigh a nickle its says 5 grams but when i start to get a half oz there off
or i been doing it wrong from 35 years

Yeah, Id have to say that scale is beat lol

An oz is really like 28.35, because a pound is 453.592 grams, divide that by 16 and you get 28.349.
Its just always been easier to do 28 on the dot

 

[budsofmadison]

i got 2 sets of scales and they both say the same thing . they might just need calibration 1 use a 50 gram and the other a 100 gram weight that is why i got the weights
