it lasts about a month.. i haven't had any that's around longer than that. I give the bottles a good shake about twice a week just because the algae settles at the bottom of the bottle.

given I don't have any bottles go bad, I get 16L of phyto every 2 weeks, but need 2L to restart the 8 bottles for the next batch. leaves me with 12L of phyto to play with.
