Hi, more specific, storing canna coco a+b, with pk & canna boost in the same container with resp ratios.
why I am asking is because, Thinking about a project that involves automaticly adding nutrients to water container when the ec drops. so that would save couple hundred on peristaltic pumps. unless i make them myself, but i rather have a sturdy ones that should not break..
if i can store them in the same container, il only need 3, 2for ph+- and for nutes.

You can't premix 2-part synthetic nutrients. You'll get calcification and little white chunks of calcium will start to form on the bottom of the container. In fact when you pour the two parts together you can see a cloud of calcium form that then becomes little particles of calcium. That's why if you read the instructions they usually tell you to add each part into the res separately. How do I know all this? Because if there's a way to fuck up, I've already found it.

If you are using organic based nutrients like Botanicare Pure Blend Pro then you can mix it all together in an old milk jug and keep the leftovers in the fridge. I love the flavor of Botanicare nutes! As close to soil as you're going to get with hydro. I usually mix up a huge batch so I don't have to keep fucking with it.
