Hello, sorry for not posting much. Im using hempy buckets and Advanced Nutrient line. My question is do I have to aerate it constantly with a pump and airstone?? Would giving it a shake one or twice a day be sufficiant?

The pump and airstones isnt for the nutrients themselves, but to add oxygen to the reservoir and to aid in nutrients not settling. Just shaking them is plenty fine if they are back in a jug again even mixed as a premix. You generally wont want to mix them together in a concentrate, but as a proper-ppm mix is fine.

I wouldnt mix up too much at one time and if you do have some left over, keep the lid cracked so the micro beasties have some air then give it a shake once in a while. I did my hempys by mixing up 1 gal jugs of nutes that only lasted a couple of days before having to mix up some more.

Perfect thanks!! I only have a couple atm so its a gruelling task to mix a litre everday when I only need half that. Now just if my bf wasnt such a tool and let me grow more....:(
