So I mixed a gallon on solution about 4 days ago. I came in today and there was like pulpy stuff in the gallon and it started to smell. Is there a reason this happened? I don’t have an air stone and thinking that might be why. Any help is appreciated.

What kind of 'solution'. Anything with organic matter is going to cause problems sitting in a res. If you put additives like kelp and sugars you're going to get bacteria blooms. Air Stones can make your ph rise quickly. More advisable to use a wavemaker or powerhead etc.

Most common reason is mixing solutions "out of order" causing some sciency shit to happen.

Always silica first for example, if that's used.
