So often forgotten, the 1ml Pipette is a very handy tool, especially in smaller scale gardens. They can take up and measure up to 1ml of liquid for better accuracy in dosing. Simply pinch the end of the pipette and place the tip in the solution you want to measure. Slowly release the pressure and the liquid will flow into the tube. When you reach the amount you want, keep the pressure steady and take the tip out. Now you just need to place the pipette over the water tank and squeeze the end to add the feed.
A 1ml Pipette is very useful in large grows too if you are using a high concentration product such as Superthrive. At a dose rate of a drop per gallon, it can be hard to do with a syringe or cup. They are also great for adding pH adjustment fluids, as these can be high concentrate too. These pipettes have graduations of ¼, ½ and ¾ of a millilitre to help with even the smallest of doses.
What are the alternatives to the 1ml Pipette?
At Canterbury Hydroponics, we have a few other measuring tools, to suit a wide range of needs. The 5ml Pipette is a larger version that is better for larger dosing than the 1ml can do. Other than that, we have Syringes in 1ml, 10ml, 20ml, 50mland 100ml sizes, Measuring Cups in 25ml and 60ml. For large scale measuring we have 1L and 2L Jugs. You can find these and all the rest of our grow room accessories on our website, here.
