Haha! Someone else said that too! I think it smells like ass, but not nearly as bad as the chicken manure cooking in my backyard right now. Blech

hi, yeah the product is pretty similar to that, 100% water soluble Asc Nodo kelp. I did a test price to Canada, an shipping is $47 for the flat rate box. Technically the boxes can fit up to 10kg for the same price since its based on volume. So you could still fit in 7000g extra products for the same shipping cost.

Mine was doing fine in a mason jar for several months. When the jar got low, it was hard to scoop out, so I put the remainder in a Tupperware container. It clumped up within days. I guess old tupperware isnt all that air tight. Im going to get a short, wide mouth mason jar to use for daily dosing, and keep the rest in another, bigger mason jar.

we are getting some updated improved bags for all the sizes below 9.9kg next month that has pretty strong airtight seal!

Thanks. Thatā€™s good to know. So when I actually go to pay for the product as long as it is under 10kg it will just be the 47.75 flat rate? I was using the shipping calculator beforehand and it kept telling me high shipping for 2 kelps.

Hi, I think the might be a website software mistake because the volume calculation is screwing it up so its separating into 2 packages instead of by weight. Can you email us directly? I can make you a custom invoice and do it by hand to force it so you just pay for the $47

Just give it a hour she should be easier to mix and clumping does nothing to the nutrients. I have never used black strap mollases but the sweet candy is noticeable I love the taste of Mega crop grown herbs. I use tribus by empello, pH explosion which is made by mega crop in the early stages of of budding I then give her massive mid to late bloom

I use a Home Depot five gallon container with a sealable lid. I just take out enough for a week or so in a Tupperware containers so far it works. But the new bags will be appreciated.

Hi just wanted to ask a quick question I guess I I didnā€™t zip up the packaging good enough and it became wet I live where itā€™s humid so Iā€™m assuming thatā€™s what happened so my question is can I still use it because itā€™s the 620 or 610 gram bag and I havenā€™t used much of it because I had the 230 I think package so itā€™s new and that would be a waste if I couldnā€™t use it but it is very strong smelling so Iā€™m thinking :thinking: not? And btw not that Iā€™m telling you what to do but for ur next packaging you use I think the zipper thing needs to be alil better

Some chemicals are amazingly hygroscopic. One example is magnesium nitrate hexahydrate which will turn into a sloppy mess in tens of minutes.

Try dissolving some of the wet mixture into some water and look for any precipitates that will not dissolve. If so, a cross reaction may have occurred while in the concentrated solution. That could throw off the nutrients ratios but donā€™t really know by how much.

Also, you canā€™t really go by weight at this point since there is a bunch of water in the fertilizer. Add fertilizer until the EC matches what youā€™re expecting, Iā€™d guess.

My sample bag came lumpy and I also have a humid environment. It seemed to work just fine

Hereā€™s a quote from the FAQ

Too much sunlight, heat, or exposure to air will cause the formula gain moisture and become clumpy or watery. The formula still behaves the same, chemically it does not change, and it is designed to be water soluble.

yes, you can still use it fine, it doesnā€™t change chemical composition when it gets wet and absorbs water. It just becomes messy and difficult to work with.

Do you have an EC/PPM meter? because if so, you can just add in until you meet the EC/PPM levels based on the suggested feeding chart

If not there are some other ways too

Just a tip for others, i throw the stuff im gonna be using only over the next couple of months into a glass container with a lid, that way i can leave the bag sealed and not be constantly opening and closing it as i use it.

is this the 9.9kg big bag, or the smaller zip seal bags?

the smaller bags for me.

ok, yeah so the smaller bags have zip seals, but we found they arenā€™t too good quality. We are switching to custom bags in October which have an awesome airtight seal.
