Liquid Nutrient Shelf-Life?

[Catman12]

I have a one plant grow so far. I initially mixed up 1 teaspoon of Fox Farm liquid nutrients in a gallon of distilled water, but didn't use it all. How long will this water mix stay good/fresh? The Nutrients sit on the shelf and I don't see why it would be different mixed in water - but I thought I'd ask.

I want to know if I should just plan on mixing up half a batch instead

I've heard people speak in the past of a one or two day shelf life of mixed nutrients. Probably has something to do with the "O" part of H2O.
That being said... I have no real contribution.... just sharing the contributions of others.

Thanks for your reply. It helps - I was thinking along those lines, but it helps a lot to have feedback!

Most nutes are good for few hrs after you make them if you have no airstone, but with an airstone adding oxygen
Some are good for a day it depends on brand and type like organic or chemical or veganic your nutrients should tell u on the
