I thought i used to be white. Now it looks like new brake fluid! I was on the shelf for about 1 1/2 years, used once.

Does clonex have a shelf life?

I like the tiny packs nowadays...
No experience with Clonex. Hormex and Olivia's last for years. Used these bottles for 9 years. Stems were stuck straight into the gel bottle. Hormex used to soak stems was placed back into the bottle for future use. I only replaced them because I don't pack liquids for cross country moves.

I like that. Which one was gel, Hormex or Olivia's (or were they both?) and if I'm just getting one, which should I get?No experience with Clonex. Hormex and Olivia's last for years.

Olivia's makes all kinds of stuff. Here, I'm talking about gel. Hormex is liguid: INA, NAA, B1.
Which is more important is up to you as there is a huge voodoo aspect to cloning. I've recently moved. Everything is identical to before except the water and that liquids have been replaced with fresh bottles. What used to insure 100% success now insures 100% death.
I'd say replace the type. If you were using gel, try Olivia's. If you were using liquid, try Hormex.

Quick update: ALL my clones made it...first try and 100%; maybe it's the hormones or maybe this is a good cloning strain.
Try keeping it in the fridge. I keep mine like this and have seen no dropoff in effectiveness 2+ years later.

Actually, it was stored in the garage so it saw temps in fluctuation of 30 to 105 F. Not the best for it...
clonex in the UK comes with a best before date on the lid - but if you keep it well it lasts for much longer...

Yeah, been hearing about storing it in the fridge.
I have had some go bad on me. The only time was when I got a piece of stem in it. It made the gel go bad after a few months.

1 gallon? that is a shit load of clonex!
i would store it in the fridge after you open it and pour what you are going to use in a small container to dip clones and throw the leftovers away (read : don't dip cuttings in the clonex bottle)

the longest i ever had a bottle was around 6-8 months. i never had a reason to buy a big bottle so i run out of it and buy a new one before it gets a chance to go bad.
