Im having a hard timing getting nutrients out of some of these big bottles. For example, if i only need 15ml out of a huge bottle. I bought some medicine suckers with long hose extensions but thats a pain. Any suggestions / pics of what you guys use ?
I used a shot glass calibrated in Tsp, TBL, and mL for liquid nutes on previous grows. (Now I weigh the solid Jacks 321 powders with a scale). For my liquid Ph up and down, I got pipettes from Amazon. 10ml Glass Pipettes Dropper, Lab Graduated Dropper for Liquid Essential Oil, Glass Transfer Pipette with Rubber Bulb and Cleaning Brush (3 pieces). I just keep one attached to the outside of each big bottle with a rubber band so they’re easy to find and I don’t mix them up (since I don’t bother to rinse after each use).

When they are very full, I have used a turkey baster to get the nutrients from the bottle to the measuring cup or spoon. When they get low enough that the turkey baster doesn’t work I then start just pouring it.

That’s why I started with the liter sizes of all the products, then once they ran out I buy gallons and just refill the liter bottles as needed. I find if I only fill them halfway it’s much easier to pour into shot glasses without spilling any.

This works for me. I only have quart sized supplements (ph down, silica, some Advanced Nutrients). Jacks is my primary nutrient.
If needed, get a larger syringe.

I use a small kitchen funnel.
Poured into a 16oz bottle.
Mostly used for cal mag
I used to use a ton of syringes for bottles. I only have to deal with a couple of them now and use pipettes. I mark each ml mark on the pipette with a sharpie so I can easily see how much I’m drawing out.
I like this idea a lot thanks
