The best way to measure noots?

Ok I'm just gonna come out and say it. My name is budhastalin and I eyeball my nutes.

I remember the first time I eyeballed my nutes, my teaspoons were sitting there, still crusty from the previous nutes dry flakings. I just couldn't force myself to use them anymore. I still feel guilty when I just unscrew the nutes cap and let some trickle into my gallon jug, quickly whispering onetwothree and then pausing just for a moment to shake off the drops before moving on to the next fertilizer bottle where the same sad routine plays out, night after night.

So, there has to be a better way. I am in the process of switching from Fox Farm to General organics, so I want to start fresh with the nute measuring.

And don't look at me like I'm the only one! haha

A graduated glass pipette would be nice, 1 for each nutrient to avoid cross contamination, or little droppers or ?

I am willing to bet that someone has figured out a dope way to measure 2.5-10 ml without the fuss mess and waste.

Please? It would be awesome to get some really good tips.

When I used to use liquids in your ml range,I used to use a syringe for the measure of baby meds.Any Walmart's infant section has these.
I would use a razor blade to lightly score my measurement indicators I would use.Then I would take a sharpie and color in the score mark.The original markings fade over time but my mark would stay and I would do an occasional touch up.
I hope this helps some?
I bought a 100 pack of 3ml pippettes from Amazon for my .5 ml liquid measures that I do use.Wanted 1 ml but the 3 ml had free shipping,and they work pretty well.I marked each pippette,corresponding nute bottle,and zip loc baggies with roman numerals so not to cross contaminate.

p.s. I have a lifetime supply of pippettes,so get your own.

I find that pipettes work really well, just make sure you give them a shake and suck and squirt some water in it to clean it.

You can also use the cups that you measure your cough syrup in, just give them a shake in the water you adding your nutes to to clean it
