Bad batch of chemicals?

I prepped 3 Jacquard cyanotype kits (all at the same time, in the same way I always do). And 2 of the kits gave me a dark green coating to my textile, the third was the normal yellow-ish tone. You can see in the picture the contrast between the green and the yellow. I exposed the textiles, and there was basically no contrast, the whites were more blue/purple. Any clue what caused this? A bad batch of chemistry?

I prepped the chemicals separately 24 hours before mixing, etc.

Green cyanotype coating

Hello all!
I'm having trouble with my recent batch of cyanotype mix I'm applying to fabric.
I've been using the Jacquard mix. I bought 3 sets, that I prepared (Filled with water + shook) 24 hours ago, then today I mixed the first set and applied it to my fabric. This was much more green than I'm used to. Once I ran out of that, I mixed and applied another set and it applied more yellow like I'm used to. I'm super confused what happened because I prepared all the chemistry the same. Has anyone had this issue? In the picture you can see the first mixture and the second mixture on the same fabric.
