Are you mixing 35g drums or something?

I just use a small pond pump to circulate the mixture.

Yeah. I used to stupidly mix in 5 gallon water cooler bottles with the narrow necks, and came up with this out of necessity.

I do this too, but I have dead spots where the nutrients gather during the initial mix. I use Mega Crop, so if you're using a liquid then you wouldn't have to deal with that.

Great idea

If you’re a caveman using trash nutrients

I just use a paint mixing paddle on my 18v Makita. They're only like 15bucks

The amount of ridiculous going on here is fucking awesome.

Go to ace hardware and by a paint mixing attachment. They are anywhere from $10-$20

This thing was fitting into a water cooler jug. It was like a rat fitting through holes and whatnot. I just don't mix my nutrients like that anymore. MegaCrop sucked though. No arguments there. I mix Floraflex in a jar of hot water now.

I just took apart that mixer the other day, oddly enough. I needed to use the drill, but the arrow was rusted in, so I have to soak it with WD-40 first. RIP, brilliant idea.

I miss this thing. It made a whirlpool big enough to swallow a luxury watercraft. Towards the end I turned it automatic by hanging a ratchet hook from the ceiling that looped around the drill's trigger, and a bungee cord attached from the side to keep it centered and prevent it from spinning in circles.

"A paint mixing attachment." pssh... Who am I, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn? MIne was cheaper, lighter, less abusive, fit into anything and mixed at two levels.
