It could be done but it’s not recommended. The solution will become anaerobic and stagnant which could introduce harmful bacteria and pathogens to the medium. It’s always better to keep things fresh!

It depends on the nutes your using, some can only be mixed for 24hrs while others a bit longer, organic nutes that haven't been fully stabilized will go off very quickly especially in warmer climates. If you pre-mix your nutes have them in a bottle or container with a lid on it because as the water evaporates the PPM will also increase.

It’s best you mix on the spot. Don’t use a mix that is older than 24h. If you don’t like feeding every day then I suggest you look into hydro. Goodluck 🍀

Hey that’s a good question. I did make my water/nutes 24 hours early but I found they would separate and it would become cloudy in colour. So now I make mine about 4 hours ahead if I can, if not I will make on the spot. Happy growing
