Mine said that it should last a year but maybe a bit shorter if used in a high humidity environment.

12-18 months on the manufactured type... Or until your girls start smelling again

Same here.. Mine states it's good for 12-18months in average humidity 50% or less.

You will know it's bad when your exhaust smells like the funk.


Happy Growing!
