Seeing the problem

[ktrain]

You know sometime back I believe it was Fruitnut (maybe) but it was suggested to purchase one of these for inspecting your leaves.
It works wonders for seeing little critters you couldn't see otherwise.

This is a handy little tool to combat these micro foes.

Anyone use this or something simillar?

Is this that microscope you can attach to your cell phone camera to take pictures of the microscopic fig mites on plant leaves?

 

[ktrain]

No but that is a good option too.
This is just a jewelers tool.
If you can locate one for the cell that may be better...I'll hunt around.

There’s some on amazon seems the strongest ones are 200X strength with price range around $36. I didn’t see any with stronger then 200.

I have the exact same one it works great.

At 60x there shouldn't be an issue seeing the critters.
You wouldn't want something too cumbersome or bulky.
I looked a little but I'm sick right now and sleeping a lot....it finally got me.

My husband and son swear by NyQuil being good for cold and flu if that’s what you caught.

Yea that's pretty much what I have been taking.
I don't like taking anything but....I can breathe. Lol

I’m more of a holistic remedy person, medicine works some wonders though and very quickly. NyQuil isn’t good if you tend to have HBP, learned that the hard way with my parents so they take a different variation of it.

I bought this cell phone magnifying attachment so I could take photos to help with identification: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MRNM214. Here’s a photo from something on my lime tree.

It’s a little fiddly—I think the jeweler’s magnifier would have been easier to use.

It's nice having the cell there to get a pic though.
I'm still looking through some to find a really highly rated one.

I am against most manufactured medications, but how much can one endure when your stuffed up to the gills. lol
I'd rather use the old methods.

once I tried with my kid’s microscope but it didn’t fit in my pocket very well when I was gardening

This is probably a bit more practical….. plus, I can grade diamonds as well

I don’t take NyQuil for 2 reasons, don’t like the amount of alcohol in it and I also have high blood pressure. I use Coricidin, “the medicine with the heart”

I use this one, works well and is inexpensive.

@ktrain how are you doing today? Feeling better we hope.

@ktrain how are you doing today? Feeling better we hope.

Well I decided to get back to work, although I feel weak and still head congestion.
I think I'm going to pull through.

I may tap a wee bit of whiskey when I get home for a sleep aid.
