Hey all
I would like to start mixing my general organics nutrient solution a couple days (at least a day) ahead of time. It would basically be in a light proof 5 gallon bucket, and after one or two days I would use it to feed my pro-mix babies.
I was planning on making a solution with:
Biothrive grow/bloom
CaMg+
Bioroot
Roots Organics Oregonism xl
Botanicare hydro guard
I also have:
Fish-mix
Bio weed
Black Diamond
I want to do this this way so I can make one batch of nutrients and use it to feed all of the plants that aren't in amended soil. I'm using Foxfarm ocean forest in my other plants, so I've kind of gotten used to just adding pH the water, and I don't want the other girls to suffer because of my mistakes (I have ADHD so it's kinda hard to do certain things on a regular basis without help from my little tricks, notes and alarms) So my thinking is, if I have some solution ready and bubbling, when I water the ocean forest girls I can just water the other girls with the solution and know that they're all fed at once. They had and hearing the pump running will be another reminder to feed.
Currently im mixing a gallon at a time and it doesn't water all the plants in the pro mix. I guess I could just make it the solution and a 5 gallon bucket and use it right away, but I would like to see if there are any advantages from bubbling and letting the bacteria do their thing.
One more thing, people that are using general organics in a Deepwater culture or aerated set up, do you use air stones, or just put the airline straight into the bucket? I know it's recommended not to use air stones if you were going to aerate this, but I don't remember why and I was wondering if anybody has any experience with doing it either way/both ways. Thanks in advance
