Drip system and nutes

I grow in soil, but I figured the people in this forum would have more knowledge on the subject. I want to build a drip system to auto water my plants on set days for a set duration of time. My question is, how long can I keep my nute solution/mixture in a reservoir before it's unusable aka goes bad?

Soil and drip is a recipe for disaster. You can minimize the potential problems by putting your pump on a timer, and probably only drip for 2-5 minutes ONCE per day, depending on size of grow pot and maturity of plant/s.

I developed a 'drip' system that let me feed every 20-30 minutes during mid-veg- mid-flower

That's what I said i was going to do in my original post. If i fill a bucket up with nutes, how long can let it sit there without it going bad?

Put a air tight lid on it, or drop in an air stone. Easily last 7 days, Def use air stone if you are using organic nutes

I've read that you shouldn't keep organics more than 24 hours, chem ferts 7-10 days. Airstones degrade your NPK apparently so I turn mine on for 30 mins before use
