    It should be ok for a day or two. I'd cover though. Can I ask why you need to save it and not just make
    more up when needed?

    Should be fine, I'd stir it a bit each day though if you could. But it would be preferable not to store it unless you're using an auto feeder...

    I keep a water butt full of nutrient rich water for up to 5 days depending on my feed pattern, running a pump 24/7 to keep the water agitated to stop any form of settlement.

    Storing water in a clear container will cause algae if left in direct light for numerous days, for a couple of days it's should be fine

    Add an airstone to help and before you go to use the solution I would be checking the PH if growing in anything other than soil

    It’s in my garden mate, I’m sick of walking up and down with containers of water looks a bit suspicious and it was taking 2 full water cans a time which meant I’d have to walk back and forth to the grow two or three times that’s all mate

    Well that explains it. I wouldn't want to lug that either.

    You can get solar powered air pumps and water pumps to keep the water agitated but for 2 days you should be OK.

    Upgrade to a 100ltr out door water butt with tap solar air pump or water pump and you would be set for a few more days

    I mix up 20L of nutes at a time. With only 2 plants at the moment, that's a new mix every 5 days or so. If the pH changes during that time, I don't care and neither do the plants.

    A darker plastic would be better but sometimes we have to work with what we've got. Best to sort a lid for it though.
