It is not a good idea to let your mixed solution sit before use, it can/will go rancid. Most of Advanced Nutrients liquid products are organic, so a mix and sit solution will be quicker to pick up bacteria.... If you want to let the water sit 24 hours before use then let it sit before you mix. Make you feeding mix just before you water. Another thing is when you pre mix your solution and let it sit with no circulating oxygen (bubble stone) the ph can fluctuate rapidly and then by the time you feed the plants cannot use sny of the nutes.

thanks for the help, but by the way the sensi grow and bloom nutes aren`t organic, would that make a diffence? either way i will be mixing my nutes right before water from now on. thanks again for the help

The non organic are chemical made and probably have less of a chance of going bad once mixed because of the preservatives used to give shelf life to the nutrients. When I first began to grow I would pre mix so it would just be ready to use when needed. I used a chemical 1 part (Flora Nova) but soon the plants started to have issues. Took a wiff of my mix and it smelled sour, once I began to mix fresh they returned to health. You are on the right track, luck
