My nutrient bottles

Hi, so after I ordered my bottles with nutrients and ph down I just left them for about 7 or 8 months today I checked all the bottles and the one of Ph down and one bloom booster were already cracked, are they still in good term ?

All of them were layin in dark place

"Cracked"??? You mean the bottles cracked? Seems odd as I've never had that happen to bottles of nutes that I've had for nearly 2 years. And if by "good term" you mean still useable/viable, I'd say yes since Ph down is a stable acid and bloom boosters should also be a straight chem solution that should remain stable for a while.

Btw if they "cracked" open then there may have been evaporation which would change the concentration/strength though. Usually the only nutes you need to worry about as far as having an expiration date would be organic nutes and anything with live micro-organisms, which tend to have shorter shelf lives.

That said, I tend to toss out nutes that have been sitting around for 2 years (that's liquid nutes, not dry nutes) on general principle, lol. I feel that if I'm going to put all this time and effort into growing my girls, why skimp on nutes and take chances with old products that might be compromised?

Btw, one caveat would be nutes exposed to excessive high or low temps - high temps can cause changes or degradation of quality, and freezing some solutions can cause damage, like precipitating out some of the constituent parts. But cool and dark should be ideal for long term storage.

Thanks for an answer, and yea my nutrients are non organic, Im just trying to get everything on 100% soon I will start my first grow, just wantet to get clear one less thing.
