what is the shelf life of both versions?

Used it the first time Thanksgiving and again last week with the same good results. After opening I stored it in the refrigerator. Plan on using it again for X-mas.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

I bought it by the case. I really don't know exactly why there is a shelf life as it is completely dry and in a vacu-sealed package. I'll be honest, I've used it way past the shelf life and it was just fine.

Do not know the shelf life but have been using ours for 3 years & it works every time.

yes there is a shelf life I guess. Mine said Oct. 2014 which probably wasn't even a year after I got it.

B&S states a 2 year shelf life once opened, if kept sealed. The blue Fresh Start formula has since been replaced with a newer product that is red in color, but the formulas are similar. The newer version is more concentrated.

The expiration date on both bottles is March of 2016.... better than the name brand ones.

I have used both with no issues. It's just the packaging I think. Just make sure it hasn't expired.

The stated shelf life is 2 years, but given the packaging, I would confidently use this far beyond that as the other responders have indicated.

I looked this up before I bought these and Ask.com says that the shelf life is 9 months on the individual containers. Once opened 7 days refrigerated.

5/2016...but I believe every package will be different and generally these things have a long shelf life and Amazon has a decent return policy if by chance you get an expired product. I just ordered the 3-pack which will basically cost a little more than the price of 2 packs.

I am not sure of the shelf life exactly,but I can tell you that the previous bottle of clonex that I had before ordering this one lasted about 4 yrs. I used the whole bottle so it might be good for longer than 4 yrs. I never noticed any decrease in the performance, as it always produced pretty well. Some hydro suppliers recommend storing it in the refrigerator, but I never have. I don't use any cloning solution anymore. Go to modularhydro.com to find out why. I don't work for them, just trying to help you out. I bought the $38, 8site cloner and had 8 super healthy rooted clones in 9 days. Never seen anything like it. Check it out.

The shelf life is about 2 years. They will last longer if you store them in an airtight container.

I asked the company support this same question just yesterday & got a reply in lightening time. According to Scott at pcepoxy.com: "Shelf life is 2 years and (will) usually exceed that by at least another year +. 2 years is just a benchmark , most likely what you have is OK to use, most of the time if it can be mixed it will work." I specifically asked about PC-11 and PC Clear. I suggest checking out the website pcepocy.com. Very informative and covers all their products very thoroughly. They even have a gallery of project photos and uses along with a great chart of applications and recommended products. It's a great reference.

As a general rule, the shelf life is 9-12 months. All depends on how the product was stored in your home (a cool dry place). Hope this helps to answer your question.
