Storing nute infused water?

A noob question, but can u mix ur nute solution the night before and save the leftovers for the next feeding? Roughly 16 hours old

Sure, I top feed for 2 weeks with the same stuff.

After about 2 weeks the stability of the mix is question, so I dump it.

No problem, but you should meter it before you use it, as PPM's and PH will probably need adjustment. Merry Xmas

Hydroponic fertilizers, yes you probably can. If you are using all natural/organic liquid fertilizers(Earth Juice, General Organics, fish fertilizer, etc.) you really shouldn't let it store for any extended period of time, at least without aeration. You don't want anaerobic organisms to begin to dominate in these solutions as they are not good for plants.

Yea I'm using hydro nutrients..do those ever fuck with ur PH levels also?

Do they ever. End pH and PPM is all that matters for the feeding. You can mix up and level the pH. But, the problem is with the quality of the nutes.

And that is mostly bs, of course. But, not completely when we consider the chemistry.

You cannot mix concentrates and then reduce with water, for example. You have to add each separately to the volume. And it is really all the same problem of chemical reaction and insolvable precipitants. So, that means cross contamination between concentrates isn't desirable.

Quality just means stabilized from that in the feeding format. 2 part, 3 part, etc. And only for a certain length of time. It is usually fine for at least 2 weeks.

Now this is mostly Quality Hype like I said beyond the basic fact. If the nute solutes go through those changes, what is left is not good.

Perfect thread, i was just gonna pose the exact same question. i grow all different strains, 10 at a time or more, and they all require water on different days. was getting annoying mixing up every day.
