Solo left out in the hot

[Pilot]

I got a shipment from Ray; I got two containers of solo fertilizer. It did, however, get delivered the day after I left home and sat out on a deck in full sun in 100F weather. My neighbor failed to secure the box. I only got home today. The containers were unopened and the box safe but is there any chance it didn't get ruined by the extreme temps?

That would be a question for Ray probably as he's very knowledgable about his products. Wish I could help and look forward to his response.

You might try PM'ing him or emailing from the website. Side thought, sorry.

2 days of dry arid heat isnt gonna do any damage, besides its inside a box that serves as its shade.
if it was in a hot and humid environment like Manhattan....then that seaweed+fertilizer will cake and get baked.
I wont worry about it.

It was in this heat for a solid week. At 6500', the sun can be pretty intense. I'm hoping the box simply provided it enough shade but we shall see I guess. I noticed something in the mixture, even after shaking it well....as it it had solids in it.

Ray is the best person to ask, since it is his product! I really have no idea if heat is bad for it or not. I always hear that they should be kept in a cool dry place, so I assume that there may be a reason for that...

[Ray]

Should be OK. There is a preservative in the seaweed extract. Had that been K-L-N or ST, it would be a different matter.

I am surprised about the solids, though, as heating would increase the fertilizer solubility. What do they look like?

I am on vacation in SC, so it might take me some time to respond further.

I will add that if there is any degradation, it will reduce the effectiveness, but not create any phytotoxicity issues.
