Why does K-Lite have a strong smell of chlorine when I open the jar?
Why does K-Lite have a strong smell of chlorine when I open the jar?
There is a faint smell coming from my bottle of Dyna-Gro, but it's not chlorine or ammonia. I haven't noticed any smell from K-Lite, either dry or in a concentrated liquid form, but then I haven't really stuck my nose in the jar. Could it be sulphur?
I remember that the Peters 20/20/20 smell thiamine.
If the K-Lite is releasing ammonia, how will that change its composition over time? Or is the release too small to cause any significant change?
but why does K-lite turn blue when exposed to humidity as soon as it is opened. I know that some companies add dye to fertilizers, which in my opinion is lame, but oh well.
The dye is pH sensitive. Fertilizer + moisture = acidic, so it turns blue.
If you smurf yourself, household ammonia makes it disappear.
