    Fox farm nutes after mixing

    I'm starting my first dosing of the Fox Farm nutes for my seedlings. I'm only doing seedlings so am only mixing half a gallon at a time because I can't dose any lower with my measuring tools. All I need is half a quart.
    I mixed my first, yesterday, and had perfect pH. My pH pen is not currently available.
    After I mix the FF nutes, how long will the water stay pH'd and can I mix a day or two ahead of time without the nutes getting affected?

    A day or 2 should not be a problem. I never make more than I can use in 3 or 4 days, max a week. But I'm using general hydroponics feed. If I need to mix any lower or higher, to be exact I use a 10 ml cyringe, pour my nutes in a shot glass and suck it up with the cyringe one teaspoon is 5ml, half is 2.5 and quarter is 1.25 and so on. I just go to the pharmacy and ask for a cyringe for dosing children with liquid Tylenol and such. Cyringe goes from 10 ml down to 1/8 ml. Hope this helps.

      I was using a syringe until I found the miracle of measuring spoons. Cross contamination between the number of nutrient bottles used when watering with the GO Box doesn't work well with a syringe. With the spoons I can dip into the bottle for a dose.
      Thanks for the info on your experience. I'm nervous to try because the seedlings I have are the end of my seed supply. I would cry if I hurt them.

    I usually mix a gallon of seedlings juice and what I don’t use I give the rest to my wife’s house plants, she has said her plants look good I just smile and move on.

      You won't need a mass spectrometer after a few days just your nose to know something is growing in there. Best to mix only what you are going to use. WARNING: Do not lick your fingers during, and after mixing. Big Bloom contains bat guano although be it fossilized. You do not want another of our viral friends to mutate and cause another Covid-20, Covid-21...to ad infinitum outbreak.

        My warning was, but a jest. Shirley I was jesting. Bat guano might actually be good for you, but I will tell you straight faced I will abstain.

        Oh, no, starramus Your warning was not too far off. I was using PH down for the first time. Blame the THC but I decided to dip my finger in to add just a wee amount. Ten stoner minutes later I licked my finger to open a dog poop bag. Well, amigo, fool myself once, shame on me. Fool myself twice and I'm a dumbass. My mouth tasted funny and my tongue had a little burning sensation for a few hours. Yours was an apropos bit of advice I hope to remember.
