So 3 days ago I mixed up some nutrients I put in cal/mg Rhizo zym and a and b mixed in 10 liters of water that I let sit overnight and now it smells a bit don't seem to be cloudy but had little bits floating will it still be OK is it just the Rhizo causing it temp is usually about 20 to 22c also I have another tub to store water am I ok to use that water to mix the nutrients with after say 1 week to 2 I stir them both daily thanks in advance

I use bio-bizz organic and a bit of AN products , all mix's sit for 3-5 days , and it smells like pond water or something , not a nice smell and usually have floaters , just give a good mix before feeding should be fine .

What's the problem if it goes cloudy ? Still learning myself and wasn't aware was something I had to look out for

I'm not sure about your specific
nutes, but most I've ran say to use within the first 24 hours of mixing. May check if thats an issue..unless your in hydro

Well they are specifically designed for use with Coco think I will just use it and keep an eye out for any deficiencies or maybe put a bit less Rhizo in it and see if that helps

I'm not too sure just read somewhere not to use them if it's cloudy maybe they bond together or something and the plant can't use them

Be careful most nutrients say to use within 24 hours if not they begin to break down and become toxic.

Not without an airstone. Aerobic (beneficial) bacteria doesn't stink. It's gone anaerobic. The lack of oxygen has promoted anaerobic bacteria to form, which is bad.
Doesnt an air stone cause the ph to fluctuate I thought stiring it everyday would help also what about just plain water is that OK to let sit

i used to leave my water in 2litre milk bottles overnight no airstone and water next day lol done this few times with no probs but got bucket with airstone now keep it moving around left to bubble overnight and use next day

Well luckily I only water 2L at a time in 5 gal pot so despite feeding her last night I just gave it to her instead throwing away lol

It may do so indirectly. But through temps changing. pH is less crucial in organics.
It's basically the same as Canna Coco line what I'm using think the Rhizo is made from algae extract so thought it could just be that also I'm growing in Coco coir so the ph needs to be right for me

No. Algae means organic. I think CannaCoco medium and their nutrient line are organically derived. If it's organic, it has little to do with pH. If hydro, that's a different story.

I suppose anaerobic bacteria could seriously acidify your pH to the point it is of concern, though.
