Nutrient Tea Question

Hi growers,

I'm a little new to growing in soil, I'm used to hydro. I mixed a nutrient tea to feed my girls in a large bucket. I have a pump and air stone to keep it mixed. The soil has stayed wet from the previous watering much longer than I anticipated in this heat wave. I don't want to overwater so I am holding off on watering them with the nutrient tea. Looks like I made the tea too soon. I anticipate the soil will be dry enough by tomorrow morning. My question for you experienced outdoor growers is how long is too long to let your tea sit in the reservoir? Will it go bad or degrade in any way? If you care to elaborate please share your methods for making or administering tea. By tomorrow morning it will have been about 50 hours or so since I made the tea. I am using organic nutrients, mostly Roots Organics. This information will help in there long run so if anyone is reading this a few days after I post this your input will still be appreciated. Thanks!

If it smells bad then throw it in the compost pile.But keep on with the air stone for sure
You cannot miss it; it stinks like a cesspit :spew:

I kept mine cool in a fridge and it was good for the 5 days it took to use it up
