Just starting out on my first grow in soil and im curious as to whether or not people premix their nutes in large containers or if they mix up just what they need for each feeding. Im only growing 2 plants and im not quite needing to feed just yet. Was thinking of mixing up around 2L of nute water so I’d be good for a few feeds

If you are growing in soil you won’t need to feed anytime soon. When you do start feeding your plants should be big enough and growing vigorously enough that you will be using at 2L or more per plant every feeding.
