Live Stoner Chat Measuring Nutrients ?

[true]

Im using Advanced Nutrients, Im a new convert :xlaugh:

Throughout the grow I will use 12 different bottles of magic.
At the moment my girls are drinking like crazy. Im getting a bit sick of measuring nutes out twice a day.

Got me thinking about a solution.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had all our bottles of potion with some kind of measured dispenser.
A bit like what you see in a pub but the dispenser needs to be adjustable.

Does anyone know of such a thing?
Normally any bright ideas I get, someone has already set up the company and just about to cash it in

Ya I agree, measuring and mixing is a PITA, but...
I usually use a graduated cylinder and some disposable droppers. Find I get used to it and can do it pretty quickly. Be nice if we had an easier method. I am open to ideas!

With the cost of nutes, specially AN, I dont know it I would want them hangin upside down! I know there are pumps that fit on the widemouth bottles, but I wouldn't trust their measurement with each pump. I don't think it would be consistent. But if one had the time and determination, I would almost bet you could make a dispenser that would work!!

I use a pippette but they are only 3ml so it's a major PITA haha. The syringe looks like a fine idea.

Bar optics would be good haha!

Why not mix up a few gallons at a time? Or a 5 gallon bucket?

There is a dosing unit being made for GH, I can't remember where I saw it.

Only One thing i can think of is this
Arduino ore another microcontroller.
Some relays
Dosing pump/s
Ec meter
EC shield
And some programming skills

Everything is possible.if you know how to..

I build a ph controller for my hydro res..with similar Setup.

I know from my wife working as a barmaid they had a gun that would shoot out exactly a shot of whisky. The bottles were no where to be seen maybe away of working with one of those machines and automate it food for thought. I use a 50 ml plastic medicine measuring cup works good for me. Even using 4 litre jugs of PH perfect sensi grow an bloom. I converted my self this year best move I have made in the growing ring in years and non woven bags too
