In a cool, dark place at least a week or so. But the nutes will sink to the bottom and stick to the container walls somewhat.
Also, the ph of the mix might change over a couple days.
ahh ok thanks man, yah Im more just asking cause I figured I would try to prep the water/nutrient like the day before ...or if I have left over wanted to know if it will still be good for the next feeding/watering

ok I just watered the plants used two gallons of water this time
here is a couple quick pics i took
   
k i noticed that some of the leaves have a light yellow spot here and there.. also i started to notice some of the leaves are curling a little and the leaves seem a little dry...
for this watering i added 1ml of liquid karma , 1 ml of Botanicare cns17 veg feed, and 1ml of Botanicare pure blend tea. I know it was not much but was not sure if these was still a lot of nutrients left in the fox farm soil sense the seed only been about 2 weeks. so figured i would start off light and next watering i could add more if the plants don't respond bad to it

well ive read a lot in grow books and online that newbies at growing tend to over water there plants a lot and kill it so I was trying to be careful in not doing that... figured I would rather water less at a time and more often them to much at once.
well I only used 2gallons of water yesterday between the 12 plants and I ended up having a lot of run off.. should I stick with the 2 gallons next watering and work my way up or jump up in using more water next time
