I've always mixed my nutes 25 gallons at a time. 1 tank for veg and one for flower. Each tank has a pump for watering (hand watering hose style) and a powerhead that keeps it constantly mixing. I use each tank till it's gone. I don't top it off with fresh water or any sort of add back. Just make a new batch each time.
So, I was just talking to my nephew who's worked at many grows in Colo., and he's telling me I need to make a fresh batch every 2 to 3 days. To not make such big batches that last so long. The flower tank normally takes about a week and the veg about 2 or more. He really wasn't able to give me a reason why he's stating this, just that's what he's been told over the past couple years.
I use Masterblend, calcium and magnesium. So nothing organic or alive in either tank. Just 'salts'. I set my pH and never have to mess with it..
Does anyone agree; my tanks shouldn't be used after 3 days or so? Any why?
Thanks everyone!!!
