A Quick Ei Question

[Colonel Mustard]

I will be using Ei soon and am just thinking through how I am going to do it. If a made a solution in BULK how long would it last "I don't mind separating it but if it doesn't work after a few months then it is useless) also could I ask how other people do their mixing of the nutrients (weekly/ monthly ect.)

thanks

Don't know exactly how long but you have to keep it DARK - otherwise algae starts to grow, surprise. surprise. I think of it like food (well, it is, isn't it). Say, couple of months tops.

For this reason, and containers etc. everywhere and because there is no real accuracy involved, I keep it powdered and dose it powdered: far, far easier IMHO.

Add a little HCL in there for a liquid solution(say 5mls for a 500ml bottle).
Muriatic acid, they sell it for swimming pools.
