Can iron+trace fertilizer spoil?
 

I ordered PMDD ingredients from a hydroponics website based in Canada
about a year ago. The iron + trace mixture has been starting to smell
really bad lately. Smells a little like a dead fish. Anyone know if
this stuff spoils? Can I still use it or do I need to order a fresh
batch?

Thanks

I ordered some from Homegrown Hydroponics five? years ago and just ran
out. It never smelled bad or harmed my tanks. Something's fishy.

Well, it seems to have started smelling when it got hot out. Maybe it
got damp from the humidity, and that in combination with the hot temps
(90+ when the air conditioner is off) started mold and mildew growing
in the bag (although I don't see any).

Open a lid a keep it in a fridge for few days. It will take out the moisture
and should be fine.
