Should I be aerating the water that I use when I water my plant?
~ should I use aerator when I mix the Cal Mag and General Hydroponics Flora Grow Bloom and micro?
Thanks This is the first time I will be adding a nutrient.

It is not needed.

It does make mixing your nutes much easier. The plants also seem to like like / perk up a little more when water had air stones in it. (I don't know the science or lack-there-of behind this, but I've talked with other growers who say similar things.)

Make sure you mix your nutrients in the water very well, before adding in the next nutrient. And never mix nutrients directly together.
 
you dont have to but it dosnt hurt. roots do like lots of oxygen. thats one reason smart pots are so popular. i will say that bottled water looses much of its dissolved oxygen. the action of watering alone does draw air down to the roots so again you dont have to but the plants do seem to like it when i do
