Can anyone see anything wrong with making a huge batch at once and use it for most of the veg phase. Iam talking 40 gal approx?
Then do the same for the flowering phase?
Would the nutrients/bacteria/organisms break down over time?

Nswbasalt.... I prefer to make no more than 5 gallons at a time. Large batches attract insects, require constant oxygenation, and can end up being a waste of ingredients.

If you made a big batch and kept it oxygenated, the micro-beasties in it would continue to multiply and bioconvert everything in the mix, until it was completely (soluble) broken down. Each time you pulled from that big batch, the mix would be more soluble than the time before - to the point, eventually you could end up over feeding Mary by accident, - causing a slight nute burn.

Hope this helps...
