PH keeps dropping

What do you guys think about making the EWC tea without the aquashield? I've ordered it and its on its way, went to the hydro store, the guy had aquashield but it expired in 2011! Great business...anyways, I'm making a batch now with Great White, Earth Worm Castings, ZHO, and Molasses. Thoughts?

I think thats the made on date.

I'll have to contact botanicare because i've been wondering the same thing myself.

Every thing of Aquashield i've bought had a past date label. Bought it at two different stores also.

The first bottle I bought in early 2012 had a date of 9/2011. This bottle I bought recently has like 8/2012 on it.

You should be fine as long as your using ewc, but i would stop using the zho! You will brew a much cleaner tea without the zho

What you are really buying in aqua shield is trichoderma bacteria. Trichoderma only has a limited shelf life.. So you would be wise to buy bottles that have not expired. The stuff rocks though!!

Like most things in growing, you can learn 70% of the story by reading an urban gardener article on it....

Been using expired aquashield this whole time. The great white i use has trichoderma bacillus. Glomus ecto and endo mycorrihzae.

Im with superstoner thoufg. How bad can chicken shit go?
 
Thanks for the input everyone, tea has been brewing for 24s hours, has a nice layer of foam and smells almost minty. Looking good, will apply tomorrow :D
