Right AWAY?? or wait a half hour to Hour

When mixing nutrients...is it chill to immediately water after shaking it in my 1 gal jug.

Or - should I wait 20-30mins.

I know some nutrients It is recommended to wait a certain period of time.

Vegatative - I use Grow Big by fox farm - should I wait or just administer like I have been. Just curious if I'd have a better result in growth if waited before watered.

Flowering - I plan on using a complex formula of nutrients - should there be a waiting period for it to solubulize in the water before administering to plants??

Does know one know??

Seems like I ask question on this forum that everybody wants to know ... but nobody knows ... atleast for sure.

This a legitimately good question - coming GRowers - wheres the wisdom/experience/knowledge

i pretty much water immediately. not sure if it matters or not.

Never thought about it... overanalyzing IMO... anyway I use grow big too and make my mixture right before waterings sometimes, if I dont use it all it sits and I still use it... no complications...

lol. you should mix as thoroughly as possible and then water. i have never heard of any nutrient line telling you to mix and then wait. why wouldnt you want an even, consistent nutrient mix?

i pre mix nutes but never let it sit more then 2 days...the nutrients start to break down after a few days ive heard, and never wanted to risk keeping same nutes in a gallon for more then 2...never chilled though, but with all the active microbes in the water...i wouldnt do it.

Fasho. My boy who grows said I should wait like 20mins to let it solubulize in water

For certain nutrients such as Rhino skin (flowering phase nute) advanced nutrients recommend letting it stand for 2 hours in water before watering

So I was just curious if it was just me whos heard this. I never wait but recently I started to wonder if I'd have even better results if I let it mix and settle with the water for a lil bit before watering.

i use spray-n-grow (micronutrient complex) and they recommend letting it sit for 15 minutes before applying. i dont know y but i do, i figure there must be a good reason for it. or maybe they just get pleasure out of knowing that a bunch of people waste at least 15 minutes of their life when using their product.

the nutrients i use say only to mix up wat i can use within 4-6 hours, it may be different than yours but im just puttin that out there

i've used just about every brand of nutes and have always watered right after mixing. nothing bad ever happened to any of my plants.
