KLN Question
Hey Everybody!
So I opened my KLN the other day to find black dots all over the inside of the container, in addition to floating trails of something....SO I called the store I purchased from and they gladly allowed me to return it. So I picked up my new KLN bottle today, brought it home and opened it up. It looks exactly like the other one!!! Is this how the KLN is suppose to loook? Please help. I'm really confused.....
Thnx -
Katie

I don't think mine has black dots in. It does have floating residue in the bottom.
TO be honest I'm not really sure what it should be like.

HI I've just gone & opened my "new" bottle of KLN & It has 'bits' floating but they are the same colour as the liquid.
I remember that the bottle I had before also 'grew' some darker spots (in the liquid) by the time I finished it?..
Based on this I would think that your bottles (from the same supplier) are just an 'old' batch?? but, I have no idea If this affects the effectiveness of the product' ? Just my 2cts worth.
I hope someone chimes in on this as ...
I'm now Really curious to Know ? !!!!
PS: I gave my bottle a very good shake before opening ...So bottom of bottle as Rosies I guess.

I'm on my second bottle of KLN and I never had any black dots in it. I used about half my first bottle (8 oz.) and split the rest with my sons and there was nothing black or slimy in the bottle. I recently opened the second one; I just checked it and there isn't anything black in it either. I always shake it well, and there seem to be some particles, but they are little and the same yellowish color as the liquid. I get mine on line, so maybe it sells faster?

That is old, probably totally "dead" K-L-N. Return it and look for another source.
The hormones are quite unstable and degrade quickly with elevated temperature and light exposure, but still degrade, but more slowly, if protected. I buy quart containers for repackaging, but keep them in a refrigerator to ensure freshness. Kept that way, the stuff should remain active for a year or more. On the shelf in a store, I'd guess not more than a few months.

It's there now.
My shopping cart has a feature that allows me to enter the inventory for limited items. When the quantity is zero, it does not display the item.
I only offer a few bottles of K-L-N at a time so I know it's fresh, and for some reason, I cannot - for the life of me - remember to update the quantity!!!

Thanks Ray,
Unfortunately, I went ahead and bought it from another vendor. Having said that, I always check your site first because I like to give you my business, but sometimes you don't show it. Now that I know, I'll drop you an email before I order it from somewhere else (if I don't see it on your webpage).
Thanks a million

Very interesting! Do you ship things like MSU fert and KLN to Europe or are they not allowed for export? They are hard to find here.
(maybe I should have sent you an email about it, but I didn't think of it until after I posted!)
