What do you guys use to measure nutrients?

I saw a shotglass with mL measurements at the hydro store (which is an hour trip so im trying to avoid that) but I didn't think about how I NEEDED that at the time.

Does any other place have something like that? Home Depot or something?

Thanks


(I'm trying to use Advanced Nutrients 3 part btw)

It says like 1mL/L and I'm tending to some relatively small tomatoes so I only need a few litres at a time. AND i'm planning on foliar feeding, so I need even less per Liter

Go to the local pharmacy and get eye droppers.. You know the kind you would measure a kid's medicine with by the teaspoon... they work great...peace

Oral syringes have no needles and are for leasuring meds from a bottle. But I don't see them larger than 10ml. I have 2 horses so we dose them with stuff in larger volume and our vet gives us syringes with no needles for that. I have 30,40,50 ml. If you don't have a horse you can sill buy them online. Here's a link for a pack of 5 60ml, they last forever. http://www.petnutritionproducts.com/Syringe60mlDisposableNoNeedle5Pk-p-1515.html

PS The above site also has 20ml, just search syringe they are on pg 3.

There are a ton of different things you can use at a Walgreens - and the one near me is open 24 hours a day, so that's always been a good deal for me since sometimes I lose measuring tools or I drop them and then am paranoid that they're infected with something on the floor.

I know, I know....

But the measuring spoons they give with children's medicine work really well. You can just ask the pharmacist about those since sometimes they hang onto them in the back.

Or measuring cups work well too, but there's always the spill factor for me so that seems difficult to navigate.

You don't want to fill measuring cups too much, but if you don't fill them completely up to the edge, then you're not actually measuring out the complete amount. And sometimes it's easy to waste nutes when they're dripping over the edges...

Syringes are also around the drugstore, I'm sure, though I haven't used them.

Just wander around a drugstore and see what they have. You'll be surprised at everything you can get, plus you pick up a bag of chips too. Win win.
