If I mix up nutes ahead of time, how long are they good for?

Hi all. I'm just about to get started and had a quick question.

I'd rather not have to mix up a batch of water & nutrients and ph it all every time I need to water my plants. If I mix up a big batch (maybe a tote worth?), how long will it be good for? Should I keep it covered?

I've heard of PH shifting after nutes sat for a day or two, not sure if that was true or not

I just mix mine as I use them

I'll probably end up mixing them each time as well. I main reason I ask is ill be splitting duties with someone else and would love to be able to just have them go in and water as needed without needing to train them on mixing notes and phing.

A couple days is fine but the whole reason why they seperate it into A + B or like a nute trio is if combined they degrade with extended storage. You def dont want to make a 50 gallon drum of it and leave it for a month.

3-5 days is all I was hoping for.
