Storing water

[Trying2Grow]

This may be a silly question, but I’ll ask anyway. I moved a couple of potted plants to a new location on my property that gets better sun. It is a bit of a walk to get there and I’d like to make it easier in the morning to water quickly before going to work. I ran long hoses through the woods to the new area. Would there be any issue with mixing up ph adjustments and nutes ahead of time in a couple 5 gallon buckets with lids and storing in the sun for a few days?

Bury the buckets in the cool ground and use their lids and cover with some dirt until needed

That's what I do in the basement. I don't see a problem unless the sun cooks where you live.

You'll want to keep them cool, so like roster said, bury them.
Also plan to use them within a 5 or 7day period.


Have you considered using an organic top dress and just add water till harvest? That's my suggestion for ANY outdoor grower. It makes it so much easier and your plants are well fed when it's rainy

No sun

I bought a couple of cheapie garbage cans with lids when I did it.

Drink lots of water and pee on them.
Just kidding.
Sun is not good for the buckets and water. It will heat the water up and mess up the pH and nutes.

That’s interesting. What do you recommend for the top dress?

I've used gaia green and dr earth. Both amazing products.

I used dr earth home grown 4-6-3 outside from the time I put them out till 3ish weeks before harvest.

Gaia green I ran inside and it's smelly smelly stuff so I went back to salts inside and organic top dress outside
