Measuring tool for Grow Genius silica

I know a lot of us use Grow Genius silica in here and curious what you are using to measure out your doses? The included syringe already crapped out on me a few weeks into using it, usually measuring out 0.4ml at a time for a 4gal mix. I already ordered some more 1ml syringes with blunt needle but seemed like the silica prematurely wore out the plunger on the included syringe. Want to know if I should be expecting to go through 1ml syringes often or if that was just a fluke.

First run in New 5x5 tent, upgraded from 4x4.

Day 15 of flower. First run in New AC Infinity 5x5 tent. Transferred all my equipment over from old 4x4 tent, running identical setup and plant count now just with more room. Currently running T6 exhaust, may need to upgrade to an 8" unit but figured I'd try the 6" first before upgrading. Tent is in 10x10 spare bedroom which has dedicated 50pint dehu, baseboard heater, and 10k btu air conditioner for lung room so I can always keep VPD dialed in. Strain are UAV#2 on left side, Sherb Cream Pie on right, 2 plants of each from clone.

Day 14 of flower, first run in New 5x5 tent

Recently upgraded from a 4x4 to 5x5 tent. Transferred all equipment over and running identical setup for now. May upgrade to larger exhaust (ac infinity T6 currently) and new grow light in the near future. Growing 2 strains in tent from clone. UAV#2 on left side and Sherb Cream Pie on the right side. Have used all tricks I know to manage stretch this run, just finished last foliar silica feeding today. Haven't flowered either of these cuts yet but both are known to be very vigorous. Cropsalt nutes, GML Torch 850 light, 4 6gal Octopots with Sunshine mix #4 media. Have blue spectrum maxed out for stretch, will start lowering that channel bit by bit over the next week and increase warm white channel to keep ppfd level.

Upgraded from 28" Blackstone to Camp Chef Gridiron

Upgraded from 28" Blackstone to Camp Chef Gridiron last weekend. Took advantage of the Dicks Sporting Goods sale and picked up the Gridiron for $400. Been cooking on it every chance I get, what an upgrade! Absolutely LOVE the Gridiron so far. Cooking is so much easier being able to maintain lower griddle temps without cycling burners off/on, not to mention the Gridiron has a much bigger "sweet spot" as it heats more evenly. Also didn't realize how much I'd appreciate a hinged lid. Easier to establish hot/warm temp zones with the larger surface and 4 burners too.

I bought the 28" Blackstone last spring as my first griddle to see if I'd like cooking on one. I fell in love quickly and by the end of the summer was already researching for upgrading. Came down to Gridiron or 30" Slate. The $400 sale price and larger cooking surface of the Gridiron sold me. If I wasn't budget limited I'd have bought a 36" Slate without thinking twice. But funds are getting tighter by the month these days and must say the Gridiron has exceeded my expectations so far.

Red Zikigai getting chopped tomorrow

Raw Genetics cut of Red Zikigai, day 62 of flower. Harvesting tent tomorrow, first time running this cut. Terps are amazing. Strong red skittles up front with a sour astringent back end. We'll see how turns out after dry/cure. Other strain in tent is Z1 (Zepilot's cut).
