Quart bottle pour spout

[Rootsruler]

If you like to bottle feed your girls and hate the mess when you're measuring out your nutrient you can use the spout from a squeeze bottle that is used for ketchup and other condiments and sauces. I leave the foil seal stuck to the bottle spout and poke the pre cut hole so that it doesn't squeeze out and get into the threads of the bottle. I think the squeze bottle top I used came from a 12oz. squeeze bottle.

I always poke a little hole with a key instead of tearing the foil off but this is real slick

I used to poke the hole in the foil just big enough to stick my plastic pipette through and draw nutrient. It was also a clean way but took more time to get the measurement I was looking for drawn and I had to do multiple draws. This way I just squeeze it into the measuring spoon and dump it into the water. Done.

I saw someone else do something similar but they drilled holes in their caps and used some 1/4" hose line. Similar to a spray bottle where you have it go to the bottom to draw everything out of the bottle They used syringes to draw the nutrient out of the bottle. I guess it leaks if they tip the bottle over unlike my idea where you can tip it over to squeeze out nutrient. I'm still a little wary of the cap popping off but, so far, it's been pretty solid.

I use either 5ml plastic droppers or a 30 ml turkey baster when I make up a batch for my auto pots but great idea for measuring cups. For some reason I can't get Armour Si up here now, through amzon unless I pay a $30 shipping fee...fk that I'll amend instead

I have both 3ml and 10ml plastic pipettes. They work but this is just way more convenient and quick.

I want to stay with one companies products and not mix and match, I use General Hydroponics stuff and the Amour Si has been discontinued or its not available here any longer unless I pay $36 shipping on top of a $30 bottle + 15% tax...= NFW

Again, I use agritech Silica Skin. Happy with it but I was happy with Dyna-Grow ProTek too. I ran all Dyna-Grow products 3 years ago. Now I run Canna Coco A&B and add Rooted leaf and in flower FF Big Bloom, guano & earthworm castings. SS

I just looked and its not available in Canada, I have some silicate I stopped using years ago but I don't really want to mix more than 1 companies nutrients, I've had issues doing that in the past with lock ups.....I'll keep looking

Because of the hospital I have a lot of syringes. 3ml/3cc up to 80ml/80cc iirc.

I like the idea of the quick tops but not sure it would be of any help atm. But I’ll keep it in mind for any future plans.

When I make up 6-7-8-9 gallons at a time the turkey baster works great. I clean after each nute in a gal jug of water then stick it in the bottle suck up 30ml at a time....I was using the 5ml droppers but 90ml worth of Bloom at a time with 5ml droppers was a bit much, now its just 3 full baster sucks and its done.
