    Sweaty Cal-Mag bottle

    No matter how loose or tight I put the cap on my bottle of Cal-Mag or how well I swear I dry it, there is always enough of an accumulation of Cal-Mag around the cap that it drips down the side of the bottle between uses. I dip a tablespoon in the bottle rather than pouring from the bottle.
    Why?
    C'mon, mule!

      It's about 70° in a dark cabinet. No temperature swings. No problem with the bloom or veg nutes.

          About a third left in the bottle. It's done this since it was new.

          Doesn't smell funny. I mean, as funny as I imagine Cal-Mag might smell if it were bad. Maybe had it a yearish.

          Is it actually sweat or product? Sometimes the spongy seal in the top inside the lid goes to shit.

            That's where I was leaning. I press toilet paper in the seal and cap to squeeze out what CM I can. It is not a significant amount that even drips to the bottom of the bottle.
            Product, not sweat.

          Maybe it's from shaking the bottle

            I squeeze out the air in my bottles when I am done using them so that it has a vacuum on the inside. Less air. Might help if some kind of pressure inside is pushing it out.

              That, my friend, gets a like. A damn fine idea that will be implemented!

            The dreaded cal-mag drip. Maybe go get yourself a shot of penicillin...
            Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.
