Hi all,
I cut my plant about 2 weeks ago, it was a tiny plant so not a huge amount of roots, and used cover crops and all this has been sitting out since i cut the pant. I used only dry organic nutes in compost tea.
Can I use the same soil for a new grow?
Thank you! 
As long as your nutrients were not salt based, you can use the same dirt again. You will need to amend it. Chat with @PreyBird1, I think he also reuses his soil. I do too, but I use different nutes.
I use salt nutrients and i reuse coco but not soil. Soil i throw it out to the garden.
When reusing coco do you have to wait for the old root ball to die?
All nutrients are salt based, not just synthetic. Organics have other things in them that synthetic doesn’t but they all work the same way. Nitrogen is nitrogen, there are different forms of it, but it is still nitrogen.
It always cracked me up when someone would diss someone for smoking while they were pouring down a drink…and then spout out…alcohol is not a drug. DUH bonehead. Drugs are just chemical compounds, and alcohol is a chemical just like THC is a chemical.
And yes you can reuse it but be careful if you graduated to a strong nute feeding it may be to strong for a small seedling. Advanced nutrients and TPS nutrients both make a soil conditioner you can use between soil usages. They are mostly for coco.
Do but its easier to get the coco out if its dried out.
I’m not a chemist, and I agree with N being N and such.
I use Earth Dust nutes. It is the best for beginners in my opinion because you only feed 3 times and you always reuse the soil. Very inexpensive. We have some very snow covered ladies from it.
Thanks Homey! Will be contacting him…the Bruce Banner is doing great by the way…
Thanks sssportsmfg,
Last feeding was about 2weeks before cutting around 900ppm…if i flush it with dechlorinated water down to 500ppm would that be better?
They make solutions that neutralize the salts. But a good flush with water (not chlorinated if you can do other than that) would do the trick.
Yes absolutely right!
For sure, re inoculate with beneficial bacteria and
mycorrhizae when you transplant.

You have not discovered nutrients without salts and the vegan forms of Nitrogen like Nitrite.
Amino Acid based nutrients ftw!
Kyle M
Guess not.
@FarmerK, do you have a link to share for those?
Yeah @FarmerK i was interested in your product line from awhile back too
Lots of good info links to our Internal Database message, email, and or Whatsapp for info and samples.
Q R Barcode scanner this just came out, give it shot.

Nitrite is not a vegan form a nitrogen, lol. Nitrite is a polyatomic anion (NO_2^-, not to be confused the with the nitrAte anion NO_3^-), and always needs a positive counterion (a cation) to form a stable compound…which a metal cation with a polyatomic anion forms a “salt” as we refer to them in chemistry.
Nitrites are just “nitrogen stores” that get converted to usable gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen (N_2) by certain nitrogen-fixing soil microbes.
I was that underachiever that copied off of your test answers in school.
Underachiever is now the Politicly Correct term. They used to call me Doper.
I grow with living soil using compost tea and some mineral supplements, when my plants die I pull the bulk of the tap root and replant right back again, if your microbes are healthy they’ll munch up the old roots and feed em back to the new tennant in the form of natural neutrients …hahahaha
