Water got in my powdered gh nutes, now solidified in chunks.

A mate burrowed my GH maxi bloom and it came back with solid unbreakable chunks. I guess he got a bit of water in the baggy somehow.
Should i buy a new bag? I managed to crumble around half of what was in there but im curious if the nutes will be not mixed up enough, if you get my drift im thinking the nutes might have clunked togethor as half the bag was unbreakable chunks with a whiteish pink colour and the other half has the normal pink tint.
The hydro store i bought it from is a days drive away.
Ive fed my plant some of it for the last 3 days and so far no nute burn or deficiencies.

Calcium from water source or the base may have bound together with something. Not sure what is in maxi but it's the only answer I have, with the level of concentration in powder it could be something other than cal binding. Dry powder even well stored can clump together a bit with general air moisture but not to form a solid like you describe. The white specs you see could be a harmless element or some form of binding I don't know. If it were me I'd be getting rid of it as you have no real way of knowing how much of what got bound up. If you do get any deficiency/burn in a month or so you won't know if it's the feed or something else.

Did you ask your friend what happened?.

Thanks for the reply no i didnt ask what happened. ill buy some other stuff, liquid mix i guess.

better safe than sorry.. GH makes a decent 1 part for bloom. i used it when my bag did the same thing, i left it open while i was drying in same room. dry nutes will attract with the moisture in the air.

Powder is still better value and quality imo. Try the link below and half fill a few of them with various powders that you may need. Keep the main bulk well stored else where in low humid/cool place. They are relatively air tight they can be stored near the grow room if it's not crazy humidity, but as you open/close moisture inevitably gets in. Slight clumping should still easily break apart though. A little shake every use also mixes up the elements. Shake your stock pile boxes/tubs too, when you refill the smaller ones. Not my fault if you forget to keep the lid on ;p.
