Okay, the Man and I are having another debate regarding reusing soil. I say nay he says yay. I am just using my knowledge regarding house plants?

I decided for myself yay and did it on my second grow here with last year's soil - because what could possibly go wrong I figured?

The soil contains somewhat of the right nutrition profile and already comes with a suitable ecosystem in my opinion. My coco/soil mix was dried out to the bone and I ran out of coco so it became about a 60/40 Soil/Coco mix with a few cups of perlite thrown in.

So far it's been working perfectly well, about to flip into bloom.

But then again, I'm also one drop any dead and cannibalized leaves on the top layer (clay pebbles) in order to reclaim their nutrients. 😁

I don't see a problem as long as you flush and re-amend it before you chuck anything in it. I have done it with coco successfully(although I prefer not too if I have enough fresh coco)  and with outdoor grows I just add more compost each season and turn it all over so it mixes in, never had any issues.

 

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.

I am on my second reuse of Sohum soil, amended both times with Eco Thrive lifecycle & charge and watered with Biosys Tea Smile
So yeah, you can reuse soil...

You can easily reuse soil and coco you just need to amend with some nutes that’s all. Coco you need to wash and reset I don’t grow in coco but I know it can be done 👍✌️

Okay, the woman is wrong! Rarely happens, but I'll own up to it. Thank you all again! 😉
