Grow Gadget Digital Scales (0.1g - 2000g) - Precision Weighing for Growers
Best for: growers who need accurate small-scale weighing, from nutrient doses through to dried harvest, without paying lab-equipment prices.
Our thoughts
Guessing nutrient doses by eye is how you end up over or under-feeding without realising. A set of scales this accurate for the price removes that guesswork entirely, and the auto-zero function means you're not doing mental arithmetic to subtract the weight of your measuring cup. Simple bit of kit that earns its keep every single feed.
The Grow Gadget Digital Scales cover a measurement range from 0.1g up to 2000g, with a stainless steel weighing platform (roughly 100mm x 100mm) set into a compact 127mm x 106mm x 19mm unit. Two transparent trays are included for weighing loose materials like nutrient powders, and a blue backlit LCD display keeps readings clear in low grow-room light.
An auto-zero (tare) function lets you discount the weight of a container or tray before weighing your product, and the scales support multiple weighing units - grams, ounces, troy ounces, pennyweight, grains and carats - along with a piece-counting function (set at 25, 50, 65, 75 or 100 units) for counting small identical items. A 60-second auto power-off helps preserve battery life when the scales aren't in use.
How it compares
At this price point, the Grow Gadget scales sit in the same bracket as most budget precision digital scales aimed at hobbyists and growers.
- Generic budget jewellery/kitchen digital scales (such as American Weigh or Smart Weigh entry models) offer similar 0.1g precision and tare functions at a comparable price.
- Higher-end lab-grade precision scales offer tighter tolerances and calibration certificates, but at several times the cost for accuracy most growers don't need.
- Cheap uncalibrated scales without auto-zero or backlighting are harder to use accurately in a dim grow room and often drift over time.
For everyday nutrient dosing and harvest weighing, this sits at a sensible price for the accuracy on offer.
Usage guidance
The scales are straightforward to use once you know the key functions.
Weighing nutrients
Place your container on the platform, use the tare/auto-zero function to zero out its weight, then add nutrient until you reach your target dose.
Switching units
Use the unit button to cycle between grams, ounces, troy ounces, pennyweight, grains and carats depending on what you're measuring.
Counting small items
Use the PCS function and set your reference count (25, 50, 65, 75 or 100) to quickly count multiples of small identical items, such as seeds.
Battery care
The scales auto power-off after 60 seconds of inactivity, so remember to switch them back on for your next weigh-in rather than assuming they're still active.

Who this is for
- Growers who need to weigh nutrients or additives accurately for dosing
- Anyone weighing dried harvest, trim or seeds
- Budget-conscious growers who don't need lab-grade calibration certificates
- Growers wanting a compact scale that's easy to store in a grow room or tent bag
A solid everyday scale for dosing and weighing tasks rather than a calibration-critical laboratory application.
Our take
This is a genuinely useful, no-frills tool - 0.1g accuracy, auto-zero and a backlit display cover almost everything a grower needs a set of scales for, at a price that makes buying a dedicated set an easy decision rather than something to put off.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out. One we sell a lot of for growers who are tired of guessing their nutrient doses.
