Unused Medium: Do I have to toss it out ?

Just curious I made a mix up of Pro-mix HP, worm castings, perlite, and dolomite lime....

I mixed this up about 2 weeks ago....I added water to activate the lime....I didn't soak the mixture but it was definitely moist...

Well my first seeds didn't pop, and anyways I still have this mix....It's been sitting in the container (plastic garbage can bought specifically for mixing), and also I have two party cups full of it....

My question is....Is there a chance some mold or something could be growing in it ? Should I just toss it and start fresh ?

It's been sitting in the cellar...Temps are low 60s....If it matters I did mix up the stuff in the garbage can like twice in two weeks with my hand...

thanks, SC :leaf:

Does it smell bad? If it smells like fresh dirt you are probably good. I have kept 50ltr totes full of dirt for about 4-5 months now, open once a month or so (***With air holes) and it's still good. Don't worry as long as it doesn't stink like rot and mold I'd say.
