fert question

Geeno · 02-16-2009, 07:02 PM

Would it be unwise to premix a 2-8-4 fert with water for feeding?

Should it be mixed fresh each time?

all ferts need to be diluted
most can sit, diluted for a few weeks without changing, just shake it a little.
some more organic ones get a bit gungy

Some tell you on the bottle whether to use in a certain period of time. I used a fish fert like that and the canna nutes say to use within 24 hrs.

I find anything with any sugar or starch in (most nutes) tends to ferment and go acidic if left too long.

I know earth juice grow is 72 hours from when first mixed if kept aerated. I assume less if left to it's own devices.
I generally stick to 48 hours unless bubbling.

For now I just mix two teaspons with a half gallon (2L) and thats about all the girls can handle at this point
