Just something to remember,

When dealing with anybody, trying to sell you something, remember, half their job is getting you to buy it again, and again, and again. I bought some silver thiosulfate to make my own feminized pollen. Well it worked, yay. The website said that their solution was only viable for 30 days, after mixing. Got the 2 parts in mixed them and about a month later, boom! Female pollen sacs.

So, here we are more than a year later. I find my bottle buried behind all sorts of crap for the grow, garden & yard and I remember what the website said, so do I try or do I trash? I try. And more than a year after mixing my Twenty 20 Mendocino sts, well those aren't caylx.

Hadn't thought of that but it makes sense. There are no biologicals in it. Check him out now

I just recently got a small education from another member here.
If you have the powders keep them in a dark dry location and they will store indefinitely.
Once mixed into r/o or distilled water usually good 6 months in a cool dark location,a year in the fridge.

Don’t have experience freezing because I use brown glass bottles and would be worried about the glass breaking. But good to know!

Of course they want you to keep buying. That's why I just purchased the silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate in granular form for around $50. I can mix it with water myself and make gallons of reversal spray instead of paying $30 for enough to do one or two plants. I purchased the chemicals years ago and they are still good and I have enough to reverse dozens more plants. I just used some recently to reverse a couple plants.

Yeah, I am sure that all my STS stuff is well over 20 years old, and anytime that I need it, I just mix some up, and it still works as it should. And even the mixed up stuff, that I sometimes keep in my basement fridge has worked 2 or 3 years later!
