Why doesn't my scale register a microdose?
    #26664204 - 05/11/20 10:29 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

This is the scale I use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y61YW7S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It claims to have readabilities to 0.01g but nothing registers when I put a sliver of mushroom on the scale.

I had a similar scale a while ago.

I noticed that it helps to put a larger amount on first, like a coin (don't tare it), then add the microdose after. It would pick up the extra few .0x's after that.

Was still somewhat hit or miss on anything under .03, sometimes I'd have to try it a few times and on different parts of the scale.

What if you were to put .1 worth on the scale, then gradually remove small pieces?

I use a .001 now and it still has the same issue with anything under .015, but works fine when using the method I described.

This is the one I'm using now.

It kind of works, but when I repeat the measurement it sometimes gives me a different number. I will need to find a better way to weigh microdoses because I really want to be accurate between doses.

Do 0.00x more or less make a difference?

A common microdose is like 0.1g, that's 100 milligrams. 1/100 of a microdose more or less doesn't matter at all.

Weight it with a cup or something that weighs more

You need a mg scale

$30 on amazon

This is unfortunately normal for these kind of scales. If you want to be really accurate to 0.01g, you need to spend 10x the amount on a proper scale.
Don't worry about inaccuracies of 0.05g,  or even larger. Unless you grind and mix your mushrooms well, each dose will fluctuate much more in its potency due to natural variation.
Your scale will not properly read very small amounts, but the accuracy is sufficient to weigh out a microdose, which actually is not that "micro"

If u want that kind of precision, u need a milligram scale. They are kinda spendy thou for the accurate types.

Measures mg, .001 up to 20g i think

Use that for microdoses and mdma

Use a bigger scale for bud and regular doses of mushroom, .01 scale

https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=mg+scale&qid=1589227326&sr=8-3

Prolly same as the one you linked more or less

Gemini-20 is a great scale, here is my procedure for using it;

  • 1. Tare with little dish
  • 2. Remove dish, place nickel on scale, put dish back on - record weight
  • 3. Remove dish, add empty capsule, put dish back ontop of nickel - record weight
  • 4. Remove dish, fill capsule, put dish back ontop of nickel - record weight
    Subtract weight 3 from 4 to get actives


Sounds more complex than it is. I tried doing this method initially with the 5g weights that come with the scale but a nickel is better because it is flat and doesnt interfere with the use of the little tray. If you find a nice new clean nickel it should be almost exactly 5gr.

Over a session of weighing the base weight may fluctuate slightly but the difference is accurate to the +/- 2 mg whereas trying to just weigh mg from tare never works.
