Myco Blast being a mycorrhizae & bacterial inoculant doesn't go bad and can last for years with only a small loss of spore viability per year as long as you keep your powder dry and in a cool place. Don't freeze the inoculant, the spores can handle freezing temperatures only if kept in a medium that will insulate the spores from those temperatures, the typical types of powdered carriers they use for inoculants can't do that.

Watch your Phosphorous. You don't want to over fertilize with P when inoculating your roots because that will inhibit the mycorrhizal association from occurring which may take a few weeks. Don't be afraid to reapply the mycos and bacteria more than once, that's better insurance for a heathy micro herd as the roots grow than counting on just a one time application.
