I'm no expert but I,m sure it depends on the system.if you use a reticulated system the ph will definetly change.Hey Guys
I have a 120L reservoir that I fill every week with RO water. I'm using Advanced Nutrients and I'm wondering about the stability of them in the reservoir over the course of a week?
My plan is to mix the nutrients and change the reservoir every Saturday. I have an air pump in the reservoir, and I have a water heater to maintain the temperature, so will the nutrients be stable for the week? The plants are on a two day water cycle 20 - 25L / 2 days, with Saturday being change over. They get watered Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Saturday.
Thanks

What u mean they'r on a 2 day system?they'r feed once every 2 days?If so you need more feeds .at least 2 a day I would say.you won't yield well at every two days.
You don't need to feed twice a day, that's ridiculous, once every two days, or once ever day, is more then enough to keep the plants happy.
How would the PH change with a reticulate system? A reticulate system would be one which self forms into a network, which I don't even know how you'd do with a irrigation system, as I don't know a method that would evolve one from it's components, but I won't go as far to call it impossible.
Back to the question I asked, will the nutrients remain stable?
That depends on your style of grow. Soil, every few days is fine. Coco, multiple daily fertigations is necessary for success. I grow in coco/perlite and am watering 5x a day. Currently on day 16 of flower.You don't need to feed twice a day, that's ridiculous, once every two days, or once ever day, is more then enough to keep the plants happy.
I hate to admit it but I have a shit ton of experience w AN. And imo it will not be fine to sit for any longer than say 12-16 hours before use. AN (at least the sensi line) has a lot of aminos aka protein.... and other organics. It smells like ass within 24h even kept circulated at proper temps. Anaerobic. And the ph drifts way up
What did the water smell like? I find it starts to smell bad within about 4-6hours at 70F kept mixed w a circulation pump. It’s got whey protein in it- a decent amount. Whey is a milk product. Maybe it won’t hurt to feed it to them but idk. Most compost teas you wanna use before the 48 hour mark, for example ..... I would think the nute mix w whey in it would be bad long before then? Anaerobes? Maybe I’m being too cautiousI used to run it in my NFT system, changed water roughly every 7-10 days, never had any problems. Might differ between grow methods.
