just try it. most likely your plants are gonna have some fert burn. doesnt really hurt em. but start off slow. oh yea and its 1 TEASPOON not TABLESPOON.

if you have the foxfarm growbig 6-4-4, on the back it will say 1 TEASPOON per gallon(but use less at first). and im not to sure about saving the nuted water. but i do.

well first i let the unnuted water sit for acoupla days to get rid of clorine and then i add my nutes then Ph then i water my plants and i save the rest of the nuted water, with the cap on the bottle. so my nutes wont evaporate

i use all of the foxfarm products, and it says teaspoon, it is per gallon, and this is correct. my hydro shop gave me a growing schedual, the people at foxfarm have spent thousands of dollars calibrating the amount of nutes you need to use, trust them they know what they are saying

Ok so how long can I keep foxfarm nutes mixed with water with a cap on it stored before it goes bad?

Uses the Rollitup profile
A reservoir of nutes won't necessarily go bad, the only think that will happen is the pH will shift. Especially important for organic nutes to maintain stability in a reservoir is aeration, so I put a water pump in each res to roil the surface.

Alright. Say someone has some big and tiger bloom mixed in a 1 gal jug with water, if that person shook the jug everyday would that do the trick? Or do you need constent movement?

Get a straw and blow bubbles into the mixture this might help put air in it or whatever your looking for.

if you aireait the water by shaking daliy, then this will do the trick to give you the air needed in the water for your plants, now you do want to keep the lid of your water befor using for the first 24 hours if u are using tap water for tapwater has clorien in it. hope this helps....
happy growing to all, and death to the,,,, spider mights!!!!!!!!!!
