Gen organics in reservoir?

Hey all
I would like to start mixing my general organics nutrient solution a couple days (at least a day) ahead of time. It would basically be in a light proof 5 gallon bucket, and after one or two days I would use it to feed my pro-mix babies.
I was planning on making a solution with:
Biothrive grow/bloom
CaMg+
Bioroot
Roots Organics Oregonism xl
Botanicare hydro guard

I also have:
Fish-mix
Bio weed
Black Diamond

I want to do this this way so I can make one batch of nutrients and use it to feed all of the plants that aren't in amended soil. I'm using Foxfarm ocean forest in my other plants, so I've kind of gotten used to just adding pH the water, and I don't want the other girls to suffer because of my mistakes (I have ADHD so it's kinda hard to do certain things on a regular basis without help from my little tricks, notes and alarms) So my thinking is, if I have some solution ready and bubbling, when I water the ocean forest girls I can just water the other girls with the solution and know that they're all fed at once. They had and hearing the pump running will be another reminder to feed.

Currently im mixing a gallon at a time and it doesn't water all the plants in the pro mix. I guess I could just make it the solution and a 5 gallon bucket and use it right away, but I would like to see if there are any advantages from bubbling and letting the bacteria do their thing.

One more thing, people that are using general organics in a Deepwater culture or aerated set up, do you use air stones, or just put the airline straight into the bucket? I know it's recommended not to use air stones if you were going to aerate this, but I don't remember why and I was wondering if anybody has any experience with doing it either way/both ways. Thanks in advance

I've been reading a fair bit on dwc lately, because I've started my first bucket not long ago....
I've read somewhere general organics bio foams up in your reservoir. Really foamy.

Yeah Ive heard alot of this and that about foam... kinda one of the things that had me post this. I remember Hearing that the bacillus and other beneficials in Oregonism fight off the foam, or at least help with it. I'm gonna have to do an experiment hehe

i think you are asking for trouble mixing organics and dwc.

pick up a bottle of dyna gro foliage pro and use it instead from start to finish.

My first grow was DWC with FoxFarm. Other than really brown roots, it went off with out a hitch. I think you just need to be extra vigilant about temps and keeping things clean.

I know it would be easier to go synthetic but I can't afford any more nutes for one. I could use what I have from last time but im trying to expand my horizons... And two I think the difficulty is part of the appeal for me. I've done DWC using the Supernatural Brand line and it was beautiful. But now I'm just getting more intrigued by beneficial (and otherwise) micro biology.

i started with synthetics and sterile reservoirs and haven't changed. i just like being able to go out of town and know my plants and reservoir are fine when i get back home. makes it easier to keep a perpetual grow going.

good luck though!

Nice! I think my pH problem may have been related to alkalinity
