Are you making a Kalk dripper? All you need is a 2L pop bottle, drill a hole in the cap, stick some airline tube in it and seal it, and use a valve with some sort of precision (or tie knots in the tubing) to control the drip rate.

Start with 1/2 teaspoon first and adjust as needed. Keep an eye on you pH though and dose it at night.
