Mineral nutes can crystallise if stored in too cold conditions. Not sure if I have ever used expired fertiliser, but I found sediments in grow component last time. Used magnetic stirrer for few hours to break down the separated part.

If you go outside their ambient temp this can cause a bad reaction in enzymes.
And yes, syntagma Cheatlets (not the right spelling) can lose potency.
Should be on your bottle. 2-3yr is the longest. I used 1yr6month old Jungle Jyice Trio. And it was still good and still is. Full of salts

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itselfa year ago

When to use terra aquatica ripen? Wait until they look ready to harvest or when they look like they will be ready in 2 weeks while using ripen?I'm coming to the end & I think they need a few more weeks at least, but I may be just kidding myself, thinking they're gonna double in size.
I'm gonna use ripen for the final 2 weeks with a 48h flash clean before & after, so should I start now or wait for more amber trichomes?a year ago

Watering a auto seedling properly.If you have a seedling 1 week old in a 3 gal pot how do you water I hear watering till run off but wouldn't that be to much as the roots haven't reached the bottom yet? I also se people making a small circle around the seedling or others using spray bottles. I tend to over water.Feeding. Other

Calmag overdoseI was stoned and accidentally added way too much calmag to my distilled water when watering yesterday. I meant to add 2 ml into a gallon but instead added 20 ml. I poured 3 gallons of Distilled water through today trying to dilute. Am I screwed now? Is my plant going to die?Week 4

Nutrient LockoutI'm guessing this is nutrient lockout. Yesterday they were thirsty, so I watered by usual two gallons of aquarium water, but added no other nutrients. It only seems like one plant is being affected. How long should I withhold any nutrients; should I dial back when I do resume?Week 8
