Fox Farm ferts shelf life?

Any opinions on the shelf life of Fox Farm ferts?
I got three half full bottels of Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. They've been stored in a closet at room temp, in the dark, for the last 6-7 months, they haven't been touched.
Should they still be good or should I get some fresh ferts? I'm look'in at starting my 5th grow in the next week or so and I'm wanting to make sure I got all my ducks in a row before I start.

I'm gonna stick with Fox Farm cuz' my last grow was my first good grow and I know I can do a little better this time, heres a few pics or two of what I did last time,








Thanks for any guidence, suggestions, thoughts, and possitive vibes.
:tiphat:
 
I was just wondering cuz I know they got enzimes and such in them, wasn't sure how long it can store for.
I'm lookin' at popin' some seeds this weekend and needed to know if I need to order some more or not.

Thanks.

in general nutes stored at good temps and rh should last 12-18 months but can last longer, i think organic bottled nutes is less like 12 months max, not sure
 
Not sure? When first starting out, it took me 12 months to finish my original liter bottles of tiger bloom, big bloom, and grow big. After a year the plants looked great; however, to be safe, shake the bottles very well before using them. Also, start with lower strengths of nute-mixes and work your way up. I've always noticed that fox farm nute get thicker as you use more and more of the bottle. I never finish a bottle down to the gritty, thick sludge in the lower centimeter of the bottle. Try to save that money Farmer... but make sure your plants are healthy first. have fun!

funny you should ask . i just emailed this same question to F/F the other day. they say big bloom is 4 years and tiger bloom is 3 years. just make sure you shake them well before use. didnt ask about any others so not sure on those. hope this helps :tiphat:
 
Thanx for all the input folks! :tiphat:
I'll be startin' up round 5, (I think, LOL, damn CRS!), in a day or two. We'll see what happens.
