For people who work with only a few plants, how do you mix water for them?
I water with less than half a litre at a time when my plants are in the small pots but the smallest amount I can mix is half a gallon. I heard that after the bottles of nutrients have been mixed, some of the elements start to synthesize and become unavailable for the plant so I don't want to mix a whole gallon and then use that over time because by the end, I will have problems (I could be wrong about this but I think I'm right and I think that is why the nutrients are in separate/many bottles instead of just a veg and bloom).
Same with the pH.
After only hours of the pH down being in water, it neutralizes back to 7 pH. This is easier because it is easy to pH small amounts but it is still inconvenient to have to do it each time.
