Hey guys, just a quick easy question. I have a buddy who is going to be watching the girls for 2 weeks while im away. Is it ok if i premix the nutes prior to leaving? Ill have him adjust the pH and add the H2O2 before feeding. Im thinking about 4Lx4 (2 for every week im gone, which should last the 2 weeks)

most nute suggest with in one hour. you could do pre-sized shot glasses and cover with plastic and tape to seal till needed.

This seems silly to me, after thinking about it. The reason is that if you use a DWC or Aeroponics system, the nutes sit in there for a week at a time, I'm sure some evaporation of water and nutes would occur in these, but if your placing them in a sealed container, you'd think they'd be fine. Of course you'd need to shake vigorously prior to use.

Ph re-bound of the nutrient solution.
nutrient solution Aeration

IMO- I'd just write a recipe of what nutrients to add, and how much.

I premix four gals of my nutes and it last 3 to 4 weeks and even more, I've yet to see any problems with keeping nutes for a period of time, I use GH flora series, been doing it this way for years, my plants are always healthy and show no problems at all.

Makes sense to me.. just like reservoirs. Just keep them out of light and shake when needed
