Mixing Nutes in batches

[PaxtonTrips]

Hey there AFN. Growing in soil with General Organics GO Box Nutes. Can I mix up 2 gallons at a time, which lasts me almost a week as of now? Also, is it OK to water with Nutes every watering? Using HF, vermiculite, mushroom compost, and perlite as the medium. The girls are about 21 days in and looking great!

Thanks. Would I benefit at all from adding an aerating stone to the Nutes to promote bacterial growth?

Depending on how much your making at one time I have a 47 ltr tank for my autopots and I use a small pump just to keep it from settling on the bottom

Just something to consider, but I remember reading on the GO box that they want you to use mixed nutes within 24 hours. It sort of turned me off of trying it...

I think it's because the nutes are organic...

Normally mixed nutes last a long time.

I mix 10 gallons of synthetic nutes and only change them out every 10 days.

I wouldn't be surprised though if you could mix general organics and go at least a few days, but I remember not liking that the feed sheet said 24 hours :/
