im not 100% percent on this but if it was me id give it a good rinse with the correct ph and some calmag my thinking would be that the ph would be off due to the rain water etc

I've had a bag or two that was a little bit wet. It's a dark medium and can look wet too. The place I first bought my Coco Loco stored them on pallets outside the store. I used it the way it came.

Double check: Are you aware that Fox Farms says to ph Coco Loco 6.3-6.8? It's amended and doesn't require nutes for the first 3 weeks or so. I still supercharge my pots with a little Rhiz and calmag.
 
I would open up the bags and spread the coco out. Check for any foul odor and allow things to dry a bit.
 
I emptied both bags in cart put in shed drying really fast no odors and perlite is still nice n white

No I wasn’t aware of the ph numbers never grew in coco will be another month or so before I plant will be used outdoors
 
This is not pure coco, it's a soil mix like fox farms happy frog but instead of sphagnum peat moss in the coco loco they use coco. Just in case there's any confusion.

Happy growing :smoking: :smokeit:
