    Default how long can mixed nutrients sit for???

    hey guys i mix my nutrients in milk jugs and usually let them sit for 2 days so the water becomes nice and room temp i usually give them a shake once a day and leave the lids off to let some chlorine evaporate!! sound fine???

    Yes mate youll be fine, Things such as cold floors, Putting sources of calcium nitrate with sulfate/phosphates(reason for a + b), And of course age cause precipitation of fertilier salts.

    A large tank with a small air pump could sit for months and you wouldnt have any problems. Providing its not a recirculating system. And no bennies/organics is used.

    Yeah, exactly. For me, 2 weeks max and it starts smelling a bit funky and frothing etc. That's with an airstone and a wavemaker. I wouldn't drink it so I wouldn't feed it to my plants (you know what I mean)
