Well I ain't no expert, but I was told to use a bucket or jug depends on how much you need, start with RO water if you can, add your cal/mag first bubble it for 12/24 hours then add nutes bubble for 12/24 ph then use. That was the advice of a guy on here who helped me figure out my Ph swing issues. If you have time to condition longer you can add the micros wait then add the macros hmmmm or vice versa Idk, or if your in a big hurry, shorten everything up a little. Bubble it till you use it all. As I understand it the bubbling suspends everything hmmm that might be misleading, the interaction of the chemicals is the thing the cal/mag doesn't play well with the Ph down and that what caused issues for me I was using vitagrow up and down , the down made the cal/mag fall out, looked like a bunch of sand in the bucket, and made a clear slimy film. Using the dudes advice I was able to rectify the issue.
Idk what you use to Ph with but there's tons of info on this no need for me to reqoute.
Hth and sorry for long response and remember I ain't no expert.
Peace out Bare
