Pots were still heavy, and was trying to avoid overwatering. Do you usually soak soil before planting? Til runoff? Seems like my pots stay heavy forever if I do that. I’ve read MOG says to soak til runoff, then when soil loses half the water weight, to water til slight runoff again, repeat, etc. Maybe I’ll get the scales back out this grow and really try to dial it in. I think getting my temps up to high 70s will help dry my pots out a bit quicker too.That's a shame you decided to scrap it they don't look that awful.... IMO the pots look dry to Stonington should be almost black when wet it is ok to water when dry to the touch.... How heavy are the pots? Once the pots dry out so does the soil life dieI also don't think recharge is not needed out the gate maybe some rooting mycos great white, dynomyco etc... but recharge super charges the soil and Stonington is a tad hot to start
But yes the soil should be fine to reuse
Seeds and heater should be here by midweek, so will get back at it then!
OF and i use it straight out of the bag never had any issues starting plants. i just increase water as plant gets bigger. i will go in a circle around the plant as the plant gets bigger so will the circle. For me week 2 is usaully getting watered 1/4th of a gallon every day or ever 2 days, by week 4 my plants are drinking a half a gallon every day. Sometimes later weeks can drink a gallon easy. im in 3 gal pots so i hope this helps.
