It gave me root rot or some sort of slime in DWC after a year on the shelf. It has enzymes and will go bad, just like any other enzyme product. 3 years is pushing it.
Some nutes turn lethal from my research, if a liquid "rattles" it's bad; - my motto is, "When in doubt- toss it out" - usually I will use it on the "other grass" - and amazingly - the lawn looks great.
I have in the past used old nutes and killed the garden.
Storing conditions make a big difference too = cool and dark is better than hot and then frozen then hot.
Rattles huh? The bottle of FF Grow Big sounds like it has rocks in the bottom! Is that what you are talking about? I think it sounded like that since I bought it though.
