You can bet your ass the storage life is not long with these freaking temps. Worse temps we've had since 2011
Everything I order online or even stuff on shelves in stores has either sat in a 110° mailbox or delivery truck just to get here. Shit, I won't even order seeds again until the temps get back in the 70's. I've had a shipment of about 25 seeds baked off in my mailbox within an hour.

I try my best to control the girls environment, but counting ppm and checking ph 70 times a week and needing 40 different types of additives isn't my style at all. I grow for myself so I don't really freak out about the details.
 
Did you pick up a tiny spray bottle? This whole only-mix-what-you-can-immediately-use thing is a PITA...gotta figure dilutions to something like 4 ounces!
Bought the pre-mix .001% spray bottle (all they had) I'll keep an eye out for any issues as I continue using it. If it loses potency or hurts plants, I'll order up the bottle of concentrate and mix my own.
 
This is the one I grabbed today...

I dream of the day I actually have enough time to research the storage temperature of the spinosad I'm buying....

Well, was applying it on 20 acres of berries. It's helpful to know stuff like that so you don't do thinks multiple times!

I also add a non-ionic surfactant or it really does not work outside.

I really have doubts on it's use for outside crops considering our heat and UV.
 
I wonder if they use some sort of stabilizers. From the Monterey instructions:
"It is recommended to mix only as much spray as needed for a single treatment."
I'll read through the entire label in a bit to see what's with this bottle I grabbed.
Exterior label just says 0.001% Spinisad (active ingredient) 99.99% (other ingredients). Haha! I know all the "other" is in the little booklet that is on the bottle.
 
its water.

That one oops with the berries cost me about 15K.
Totally understand that! Shit... that's a hit to the wallet. Thankfully, I will only be tending 3-4 plants anymore. But... still important to be attentive even if I dont stand to lose that kind of cheese. Appreciate all the tips!
