I was wondering if you can store unused nutrients? Labels say not to, but if you set up a air pump and kept it in dark light tight container could you store nutes then? Thanks in advance!

Specifically, what kind of nuterientss are we talking here?

I assume you mean making a tea and storing that afterwards? I have been looking for this answer as well. If you were to just keep the tea bubbling would it still be good weeks later? Is that the question? I would think that you would need a constant food source (molasses) and a constant oxygen source (air pump) in order for the microbeasties to sustain. I don't think just bottling it without the two would work.

I left my Ionic nutes in their original container just as the bottle instructed, after a few month I found grains of salt at the bottom of the bottle. They were never exposed to light or high temp I still dont know how it happened.

Heres a question: What if synthetic or organic nutes sets on your skin or somewhere really sensitive like your eye would their be any long term effects?

Organic- probably not but maybe some sort of infection if it got into an open wound and wasn't washed out properly.

Synthetic- I am really not sure. I would think so because it is made out of petro(gasoline). But then again you do use it on plants with sensitive roots, but we also all know how syn ferts can burn the shit outta plants. The long term effects of INGESTING synthetic ferts (and even food grown with them) are pretty grim. Cancer is just one of the many great things that also came with Industrialization.

Maxicrop 5-1-1 liquid fish, Maxcrop 0-0-1 Liquid Seaweed, Neptunes Harvest 2-3-1 Fish & Seaweed, Neptunes Harvest 2-4-1 Fish Fertilizer. All Liquid Organic Ferts.

A Tea is not what I was saying, sorry for the confusion.

Neptunes harvest can last for years after opening as long it is sealed properly and undiluted. That bit of information is from organicgrowergarden.com in the FAQ section. Their a retailer of Neptunes Harvest. I couldn't find anything with regards to the shelf life of Maxicrop. I don't have any experience with the nutes so can't give you any first hand knowledge though one can never really trust what the manufacturer of a product claims...The more you have to toss out the more you have to buy, the more money they make. Same for the retailer I suppose but their the ones that have to deal with you directly so I'd be more inclined to believe them over the manufacturer...Though "to serve man" may be onto something...
