Indoor Reused Soil

[JEMman]

Hi, I was wondering if there was anyone in here that has any experience with reusing soil. I started a male in a large 3.5 gallon pot and cut him down at about 15 days old...is it alright to still use this soil? Or has all of the good been sucked out of it already? I was thinking about doing the tiered planting technique into this soil in about a week. didnt want to just let it go to waist! This should never happen again as i think that i will be using this method from here on out.

should be ok... be sure you give it a flush firsto (2x container size in water volume) this will expel any accumulated salts... I use a worm bin and add my compost to it... recycle everything back through... works great!

My current sour60 grow is from reused/composted promix. I toss in my trim from the last harvest, males, Odd veggy scraps from the house. Makes it more of a compost.
When i do pure organic grows with soil amendments, i prefer adding a portion of re-composted soil. Helps transfer microlife to the new soil mix.

But it's good to go, imo. As long as your not getting salt build up.. From non organic ferts, used on previous grows.

One thing to consider is, if the soil is peat based. It will get more acidic as the peat composts. So, for a recycled soil grow, i will add a tablespoon of dolomitic lime per gal of soil. To offset the acidity.

Is OF a peat based soil? If so i might need to go and pick up some dolomite lime.

i re-use my OF after i pulled my 4 males in about 15 days also and everything is fine. I took the main roots out of the soil and its good to do. If you have some guano, mix some in and it will be better then before.
