I have to go out of town and have bubble buckets with net pots. I have convinced hubby to change out water as I am going to be gone a few weeks. Can I mix the nutrients and store the water in a plastic water jug like you get water in when you buy it and the mark it for the week to use it and leave it in the closet for him? I have auto plants and am using fox farms liquid trio.will the PH of the water change as it sits?
Pretty sure you can do that for a week or so BUT u need to put an air pump in it to keep it fresh or oxygenated for it to stay good. @peachfuzz will know
A couple of weeks is a long time. I’m sure exact time varies by what exact compounds are used, but a week max is usually what you hear.

Yes , you can do that… I wouldn’t do it all the time , but in a squeeze , I have done it with no issues… just shake the hell out of it before you use it…

Good morning everyone. Does putting premixed nutes in a water jug in the fridge help extend shelf life?
I don’t think that would help much…
Just try to use it within 5 days , sooner if possible…
