Would this scale suffice for measuring out fert amounts? - Page 3 - PPS Analysis and Feedback

Wish I'd have seen this thread before I bought my scale earlier this week

. I got a 1000 gram, but only 0.1 accuracy. Do you think this is fine? It was only $12 shipped. Also it says "One touch calibration-on key". I didn't know about calibration weights or anything, so what does this mean? Am I going to have to buy weights?

If I were to measure my chemicals in a pot first, I take it I can minus the weight of the pot before hand?

This is with the digital ones I'm asking about

0.1 accuracy is fine. PPS has a built in fudge factor, at least that's what i gathered from edward's replies

Yes, provided your scale has the "tare" function and the total weight will be under the scale's maximum.
