Not sure if this classifies as a DIY or just a tip to make things easier.
One of the problems I ran into when I started doing Hydro was pouring such small amounts of nutrients out of the bottle they came in. I only need to mix up 5 gallons of water to split between the two buckets. That works out to only 10ml-70ml of the different nutrients and pouring those small amounts out into the measuring glass was difficult. I always ended up making a mess.
I bought some 32 ounce plastic bottles with a flip top cap similar to what you'd find on a shampoo bottle.
They're about a dollar each and make dealing with these small amounts of nutrients much easier. I printed out some labels for each bottle because I'm anal retentive.
Here's a shot of the different nutes I'm using each in their new bottles. The measuring glasses I use are in front.
