That is a new batch this season you have. I test it on my plants to insure the quality.We are getting great results by all members.It it can be destroyed if left open & exposed to moisture & light.If you find it does not perform in comparisons please let me know I will send you a new supply.I wont do a lab test & release the results a this would reveal the secret blend which is not going to be given away to the competition.Thank you for trying my products please keep me posted on your results.I would use the Root Keeper within 4 hours(1/4 tsp per liter(qt)aprox.)Keep it a shaded cool area when sitting to be used. FYI Joe that runs the Michigan club just told me he sent his soil to 2 different labs to be tested. Joe stated both tests were night & day different results.I have always doubted these tests myself.The problem with tests is you have human error involved which can lead to inaccurate results. People tend to take it as gospel.Its NOT!
