They are effective 7-10 days, but could be less. Definitely not longer than 10 days though.
I am using the advance nutrients stuff too. Very potent stuff.
I guess I’ll get some syringes. See how that goes.
I want to dilute because with the concentrated advanced nute stuff. A few drops will take my 20gal rez from 6.5 to 5.0ph.
If I mix a 5gal bucket for when I start the new seedlings. It’s too powerful from like 6.5- 4.0ph in a few drops.
PH up/down dont "go bad" over time if you keep the bottles sealed up.
They are already diluted when you buy them, so diluting more wont change anything. Just use RO or distilled water to dilute and you will be fine.
I have a 1 gallon jug of each I made up more than 8 months ago and still just as potent.

I had them in the past.
My PH would fluctuate all the time.
With Advance nutes I set it when I mix a fresh 20gal Rez.
Then adjust once more 24hrs later. And I never have to adjust again for the 7+ days the rez last for my DTW system

if i remember right when i used the floranova and RO, it was pretty much spot on pH wise without any need to adjust. it was many, many bong hits ago though so?
It depends on the mix. As I add some other boosters to it.
I also mix to PPMs. Full bloom I’m mixing 6ml/g of bloom + cal mg and some koolbloom. 1200-1300ppm.
Veg is 350-750ppm depending on how far along.
The mix charts on the bottles are crazy.
Says max is 3.5ml/L is like 13ml/gal.
Comes out at like 2500ppm. Lol

There's less acidic acids you could be using to lower, and less basic to raise. I think it's wiser to find something less strong, than to dilute a strong acid/base and store it (it only lasts a week)

These work well.
5ml Pipettes.
8 bucks for 120.

With my nutes. To end up with my target ph of 5.9.
Silica being an upper, and being the first into the RO water...I've learned to add 1/4 ml of silica per gallon of RO.
Then.....calmag....megacrop, etc.
Boom. 5.9.
No need for PH up or down.
(Megacrop has some silica as well)
