24 hoursNoob here, I make a 1gal feed, cal mag, a/b, roots excel, algen extract, multi zen, nitro boost, drip clean, and Powersi. Was wondering what the shelf life would be on a feed that I mix up? And also what if I got air stones?
24 hours
For real? With air stones?24 hours
Adding airstones to the nutrient mix? I'm not a hydro guy. Not by a long shot but I think your referring to storage only. In this case oxygenating your stored mix would only accelerate bacteria growth and or breakdown. It would not prolong the life.Noob here, I make a 1gal feed, cal mag, a/b, roots excel, algen extract, multi zen, nitro boost, drip clean, and Powersi.

I make a 1gal feed, have 50 solo cups between 9-12FLoz. 1gal feed lasts me like 2 days maybe 324 hours
I’m not doing hydro. Just using air stones to mix my feed. I guess if you’re saying if I leave it on for a prolonged period, it’ll get bad quick. Somewhat answered me question lol. Use it fast for quick mix, but not to store on shelf for a day or two.Adding airstones to the nutrient mix? I'm not a hydro guy. Not by a long shot but I think your referring to storage only.

Interesting. I shake... Lol. Air infusion wont help storage life. Go by your nose. I do stretch it despite my 24 hour rule. The LP I grew for kept mixed barrels for a week. Way too long.I’m not doing hydro. Just using air stones to mix my feed. I guess if you’re saying if I leave it on for a prolonged period, it’ll get bad quick. Somewhat answered me question lol.

When the mix starts to visibly separate its definitely no good!Interesting. I shake... Lol. Air infusion wont help storage life. Go by your nose. I do stretch it despite my 24 hour rule. The LP I grew for kept mixed barrels for a week. Way too long.
Re test at each feeding. If the numbers work and the smell hasn't changed you're good for a day to a few.
***Clean water vessels and hands extend storage life.
I agree wih this. Its best practice IMOHi always mix fresh nutes some say you have 24 hr but what’s the point of waiting if you know your grow you should be able to mix the right amount maybe with a lt or so left over , ive seen Nute mix left for 3 days and it still had good ppm but it rapidly dropped down from the the time it was mixed .
