Fox Farm nute (potlife)

How long can the Fox Farm trio nutes sit in a bucket PH'd and ready to use.

I mixed up a batch about a week ago for my soil grow and decided to continue with my more nitrogen rich mixture.

Does it go sour because one of the trio is partially organic.

i use the foxfarm line-up and im not sure what the reccomendations are but, if i mix it and dont use it within a week i throw it out. i try not to mix to many gallons at once so i dont waste much.

I would say 2 weeks

Yeah I agree. They start to build up naste on top of the water.

Yeah, thats what I saw, was a film on top.

I was useing 20 gallon buckets (5) first bucket was 900ppm (ff) and thenit went up as you went down the line, 1300ppm was final, well 5th bucket was flush water. Anyways the last bucket would have to be washed out every week to keep from nute Nast on top.

2 weeks sounds even better thanks guys. all of mine need watering at different times of the week, so my watering sessions take about 3 days to get them all and then its almost time to start over with the first ones. so im constantly using either nutes or fresh water and never waste much.
after i use fresh water on one, i put a piece of tape on the pot. so the next watering i know will be nutes and i take the tape off. just my system and works pretty good.
now if i could just get them to drink at the same rate and water them all at once. lol

I try not to waste much, but I had to boost the nitrogen for this particular feed.
I am pretty new at this, so I have been chasing my ph in my one hydro grow as well. I did learn to raise my nute ppm as ph went up though.

Idk how long it's good for, never needed to. I've always tried to mix only what i need with any nutes. I'll mix up a gal. at a time when i need it.
