Can I ''pre-batch'' my water with nutrients?

Leofsstarted grow question 2h ago

Can I ''pre-batch'' my water with nutrients? My plants are currently starting VEG and they drink very little. I am currently giving them fert + root nutrients on a 6.0ph~. Can I prepare 1L and let it ''sit there'' and just do a quick shake before watering? If not, why?

hey 👋 u can prepare your mixes 2 to 4 days before watering, even 5–6 days for mineral fertilizers, as long as you remember to stir once a day but no more than that. beyond this point, and even faster under poor storage conditions, salts will build up and crystallize. result is poor absorption by the plant, possible root lockout, and in any case some elements will be neutralized or inhibited

Nutrient Help possibly needed For my first grow I have kept things fairly simple. I had issues with my soil PH which stopped nutrient uptake but seems to have now resolved that for the most part. Are there any other nutes that are recommended to help bud production or am I ok with what I have now? Thanks

Friends need your help! the leaves turn yellow at the seedling stage!Friends, help me figure it out! First I will describe my conditions! - Tap water 110 ppm - LED QB288 Rspec 250 Watt light works at half the power! - Advanced Nutrients three-component Fertilizers Micro Grow Bloom now I'll tell you how it was! after they have sprouted! they were planted in the system! I made the solution on the recommendation of the fertilizer manufacturer! I added 1 ml/l of each component and it turned out 410 ppm! The second week I changed the solution completely and added 2 ml/l of each component, it turned out 600 ppm the yellowness on the leaves appeared after the first week! I thought it was a magnesium or iron deficiency! and I changed the solution and added 2 ml / l of fertilizers! I keep the ph of the solution within 5.7-6.0 drip irrigation works constantly! The temperature in the box is 23-25 C - humidity is 40-60% Inside, there is a fan on top that turns 360 degrees to blow the plants!

Fixed soil PH: Now from young leaves' interveinal chlorosis to all over light green Soil Ph was off: 7.1. Switched to phosph. acid and use Epsom salt. Now: 6,4ph, Ca/Mg ratio at 3:1 (instead of 11:1). Used foliar spray (GH Enhancer). Ladies still show deficiencies: Now all over light green. Didn't feed Bloom due to overfeeding in grow. Will give Bloom in two day
