Yes. Just mix them up good again right before you feed. I use full Fox Farm lineup and depending on what I actually mix into the water I almost always have some reside from nutes at the bottom. Bubbling with airstone can help to.

+1 to shake jugs up first. You can also buy smaller plastic bottles meant for storing chemicals and fill those up with your nutes, I buy gallon or more at a time and I use smaller bottles so it's easier to handle and measure.

You are adding way too many nutrients to your solution and you are getting precipitation. The nutrients turn solid and fall to the bottom. Remember you only have to use a syringe or less for most nutrients.

But the problem is even do i shake it there is stuff floting around
i contacted botanicare and he told me to add 2ml per gallon of karma
and 10ml per gallon of grow is that right? And i added 8ml of karma and 40ml of grow???? Because i have a 4 litters of water!!!!

I did that before. It sucked until I realized that i was not measuring right. My base nutes are only a syringe and a half full strength. I use a 50 ml syringe to draw nutes out of bottle. All my additives are only a partial syringe.

4 liters is over 1 gallon, and 10 ml. is 1 Tbsp (roughly). 2ml. would be less than 1/2 tsp.
You just quadrupled the dosage.
I hope you didn't feed yet.
1 gallon=3.78 liters.
