Best Growing and Cultivation Scales for Cannabis Manufacturing

At Summit Measurement, we have been listening to our customers who grow cannabis, and are striving to offer a great selection of the scales that meet their needs in the cultivation process. Growers need to weigh large containers of bulk weed and whole plants. This requires a high capacity/high resolution scale with a large weighing surface for weighing large containers and a hook for weighing stalks and fresh whole plants. They need a scale that meets NTEP Legal for Trade requirements and communicates data to a computer, printer or scanner. Below are our top picks for the cannabis growing industry.

Ohaus Ranger 7000

It has a large weighing platter of 14.8 x 12.2 x 1.9 inches.

Cannabis producers can use the under weigh hook for wet weighing of whole plants, which can significantly improve speed and productivity.
