refridgerating nutes?

[qpgreen]

i noticed in pornstars thread pics of his grows he had what appeared to be his nutes in a fridge...should we all do this with our nutes to prevent spoilage? the weather this year is morbidly hot

thanks

i dont think so ..... most nutes are supposed to be kept at a constantly cool and also DRY area. Im pretty sure you shouldn't freeze or refridgerate nutes

The fridge is not on, but it stays cool and dry. I always wondered if leaving it at the lowest setting would keep my nutes fresher but i would rather save energy. The main reason its in there is because its lockable and discreet.

Keeping your nutes in the fridge is good for one thing at least...The cooler the water, the mroe OXYGEN is dissolved in it. roots LOVE oxygen.

while this is true, water temperatures below 55 degrees can easily be too cold and shock the roots. A surefire way to oxygenate is with pumps and airstones. But you all probably already know that anyways.

There are some that its good to keep refrigerated such as root teck cloning gel for one. Mixed Anti-Wilt in a mason jar that you use to dip your clones in keeps in a fridge for a while with no problem. As for the other 3 part nutrients or most other liquid's its not necessary. The dry ones must be kept dry and out of moisture. Now some of the bacteria ones or the liquid additives that have cultures you want to keep cool and not let them get to hot but for the majority of growers a small butter compartment or a veggie storage drawer will be fine and not let it get to cold.

Just don't let the kids spread it on their toast on the morning is all.

Peace
