scales that dont look like scales?

[TheTreeBoundRat]

After each plant I grow I like to weigh it for personal reference. I only grow for personal but If im found with scales + my stash they would accuse me of dealing also which is just not worth the effort.

 

Im thinking about some kind of inconspicuous weighing system but really dont know where to start for now.

 

Ideas for constructing one?

 

cheers

At the end of the day, in the retail business i used to work in. We use to weigh the coins on the work scales. There's an old formula we used to give us our figures at the end of the day. But buggered if i can remember it anymore.

 

But anyway, if we could find out what it is. We could then translate certain coins back into weight to make a set of old style scales.

 

I'm in same boat as you riverrat, but for the same reason. I don't keep any scales. If i really need to know what i got, i can always borrow a set. I'm not giving the bugga's any excuses to suggest to me that i'm dealing. So i grow within the boundaries of my state's legislation, that makes me look like a personal grower...

What if you have your scales in the Kitchen cupboard for cooking purposes , just sprinkle some flour over them .. scales are a must in every kitchen

hey,

If you only needed to use them once every few months i would just make a handy stash spot somewhere in the house.. They are tiny and theres plenty of hiding spots.. Another option would be to loan them to a friend for all but 3-4 days a year... Or as frazz said use the kitchen scales

kitchen scales would be the go. but keep them clean when weighing with them by putting them in a big clippy bag. they wont find any residue on them then.....

A small diet scale should give you gr readings. They're pretty cheap.

Hell there's times when even my kitchen scale isn't up to the job. For that I have this brass hanging scale with a hook.

I hang that in the garage and then hook on what needs to be weighed. It's a spring type scale but it gives enough of an idea for what I want.
